Airpass for Argentina?
Since Im a local, Ive never had an experience with Airpass for Argentina. Im wondering if any of the well travelled South American board regulars have ever looked into the details of Airpass for their domestic Argentina air-travel. Is this worth it? I get asked this question all the time and I cannot answer.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I looked into airpass for LAN. The prices were good, but the restrictions weren't. Had to fly RT on LAN or OneWorld, nonstop from SCL/LIM was on a space available basis (no confirmed seat), and if you flew OneWorld (AA), the coupon prices were 20% higher than if you arrived in SA on LAN.
I need a flight from SCL/LIM and am not willing to stay at the SCL airport HOPING for a seat or taking the flights through BA (about 10 hours). I passed. But if you just want to fly around SA and are not concerned about time, it is definitely a money saver, even with the 20% OneWorld upcharge.
You cannot purchase if you are a resident of SA (except Brazil) and must have a RT international ticket before purchase.

Thanks for the info. Is airpass available with all major international carriers?

But would be a good deal for intra South America flights.
