Shakira was never the kind of star in Argentina she has been elsewhere (not like in the US, Europe, the Middle East, and the northern parts of South America).

Our trip to Buenos Aires last month inspired me. Here's a short video I did:

Here's a link to some cheap travel deals. I don't have any experience with this outfit but their fares look good.

Interesting... thanks for the heads up. The best test for these discounters is to see what a ticket goes for during the peak season (xmas, etc.).

More transport information can be found here in English along with a list of useful phone numbers (which will generally require communicating in Spanish):

New service to EZE?
Someone posted on another board that US Airways has filed an application to begin service to Buenos Aires and Montevideo. I have been unable to confirm this, but if true, they would probably fly out of Philadelphia or Charlotte.

If we did start service, I'm sure it would be non stop to BA, then maybe thru service to Montevideo.

Can a 757 make it to EZE from the USA without refueling?

Here's a link. From what I can tell, US is renewing an earlier application to fly down there, so I think their intentions are to start service....may or may not be anytime soon.

I may be wrong, but this seems redundant from a Star Alliance point of view.
Now, from a oneworld alliance or SkyTeam alliance point of view, this would be a different story...

US Airways is part of Star Alliance...?? Wow, this goes to show how much an ex-frequent flyer Ive become.... 
So, I gather a 757 has enough range to fly with a full load of pax cargo & fuel from the USA to EZE?
