The price into BA is actually higher than from BA to EZE airport, both remis and taxis.

The best deal you can get is from radio taxis which charge 27 pesos, includes the two tolls, from any BA location to the airport. Not a bad deal for 8 dollars.

BTW, I just came back from BA and noticed many of the shops that refused to take CC a few months ago, are now accepting credit cards.

Also, the only crime you'll experience is people trying to get close and pick your wallet. Use common sense. I went to the Monumental (River Plate stadium), a very dangerous place and noticed the stares from people trying to pick my wallet.

When you're in the city, and beggars will know if you're a foreigner, they will approach you and literally stay with you until they get some money. Just beware !!

I took the bus service to/from EZE (didn't see the need to spend extra for a private car since I was staying at the Marriott which is right near MTL's office). Going into BA the fare was USD 3 (12 pesos); coming back to EZE it was 15 pesos (just checked both receipts).

I still find it odd that the lady at the airport insisted on giving me the change in USD, since she had no problem giving me a receipt in pesos. (I figured it would be a good chance to get my hands on some small bills - always a problem when arriving in a foreign country.)

While I'm here, there's another thing I found odd at EZE airport. When I checked in for my Delta return flight to the USA, I was given a blue voucher that said, "This voucher proves payment of the airport taxes." I thought, "Oh, good - the tax has already been included with my ticket." But when I got to the tax counter to claim my sticker for boarding, the man behind the counter asked to see my ticket. I produced my e-ticket receipt, whereupon the man told me I still owed USD 13. So, anyone going to EZE, beware: Even if your airline says you've paid the airport tax you may still need to pay the tax.

I got here a few days ago and am really enjoying it here. When I arrived at the airport I walked past all the exchange, bus, and taxi stalls, and went to the curb. The taxi was $9 US to downtown, i gave him $13 and he looked at me like I just saved his family for the month.

I am staying at Reconquista, $35 internet rate, quite nice. If you want for $10 more you can get an especially nice suite. Includes breakfast, and I'm typing on the free internet connection now. I personally don't think the marriott etc.. would be worth the extra money.

The prices are better than ever, they could use your help more than ever, why not come?
I flew down here for less than $500 round trip from california, 15,000 in butt miles via JFK. So I make EXP and see a great place too. Don't hesitate. Next I take a 14 day cruise to see penguins and places around the south tip of south america, on to santiago. See you!
