Going to BA in late April from MIA on AA. Please update any restrictions/comments as things develop. Any flying then over to Santiago, so hope no complications on that leg. Also any info on the Blue Dollar exchanges would help. Thanks
I have had the vaccine and will get a Covid test if necessary.

Seems that the Aviation boys were trying to get the Health Ministry to ease up but the Health Ministry has won in the end

Even if there is an option at EZE airport, I would suggest doing the testing before heading to the airport at EZE.
Options for testing in town:
Diagnostico Maipu https://www.diagnosticomaipu.com/rtpcr-covid19.html
Diagnostico Rossi http://www.cdrossi.com/turnos-anticuerpos-covid-19.php
IADT/Instituto Argentino de Diagnostico y Tratamiento https://www.iadt.com/
Laboratorio Hidalgo
I think the testing expenses are as little as around AR$6500 at some of them. Just make sure that you get the right kind of testing, the results are in the language you need, and seek the turn times before you go through the process.

From MIA and then on to Santiago, Chile a week later. Thanks so much for info on where to get the test. I will re-ask 3 weeks before I leave to see if any updates on getting tested for Covid. I do not know if Chile does now or will require testing before entry, but like to prepare. And I do get 2nd Vaccine shot in 3 days. Thanks all.

Before leaving the airport, staff ask you whether you are heading for BA City or elsewhere in the country, and if you answer BA they guide you towards the testing centre. Whether they run a PCR or an antigen test seems to depend on your luck. Afterwards you are free to go and have to isolate until results are sent to you over Whatsapp. Everyone I know got their results in less than 24 hours.
