Thoughts on GoBondi from EZE-GRU????
So my entire trip is booked (for October) and I just have ONE LEG to complete. I need a one way flight from EZE-GRU and at this point it looks like Go Bondi is the best choice. I'm not expecting anything lavish, but all I need is a flight to get me from EZE-GRU. Any thoughts on Go Bondi? Are they reliable? on time? Honestly any thoughts about the airline or service is welcome but mostly interested in the two aspects that I posted but, again, will appreciate ANY feedback. Thanks everyone and safe and healthy travels.

Air Canada and Latam have flights that are about $300 one-way from EZE in October
oh I see now its FlyBondi One-way fares are about 20,000 ARS thats pretty good at the blue. I still have no experience with them

My only experiences of flying EZE - GRU route has been with LATAM who always proved reliable. Never used FlyBondi so can't give any opinion.For peace of mind I would pay the extra to fly with the major airlines. I suspect they'll have better contingency plans should one of their aircraft break down.

But having said that , and as HIDDY says if they have a tech problem , they have no replacement planes.

FlyBondi seem to be more reliable now than prepandemic

My instinct would be to try to fly GOL if the schedule is convenient. They seem decent, although I have no experience on this route.

I flew FlyBondi on a domestic Argentine route and gave a mini comparison on a different thread what I thought of FlyBondi, JetSmart and Aerolineas Argentinas (all domestic routes). If you do a search you should be able to find my post.
All three airlines were on time for me, although I have a slight preference for AR going forward, personally. AR has a better set up and they do not nickel and dime you the way FlyBondi and JetSmart do.
If I were you I would look up the flight you are eyeing on flightaware.com and see the past flight history of the specific flight yourself.
