And if I have any wine, does it need to be checked for a domestic Argentine flight? I recall seeing folks lug around large quantities of wine past security at Aeroparque last year.
Thanks.

So I'm flying LAN Argentina for the first time. Can I just bring my regular 22" rollerboard with me, or will I need to check it? I have my little quart bag of liquid & gels.
And if I have any wine, does it need to be checked for a domestic Argentine flight? I recall seeing folks lug around large quantities of wine past security at Aeroparque last year.
Thanks.
See my reply in the other thread.

Alex, I was giving you a no so subtle hint to check the CommunityBuzz thread on your birthday (which you missed responding to in 2006, although you did comment on Chexfan's greetings two years after the fact 
).
Anyway, I know I speak for the rest of FT in thanking your for all your helpful postings (well the ones on Argentina
).

I wouldn't waste 5 centavos argentinos on her show. It is when I'm coming to buy an air conditioner, and maybe a few beds, a refrigerator, plates, pots, pans, couch, tables, chairs, coffeepot, and about 100 other things I don't even know I need.

Sorry, dont know where to send you in Recoleta - but FTers have reported various places selling SIMs on Florida and near Galerias Pacifico.
