Many times we usually think that Buenos Aires is the only alternative from which to travel abroad, and for many who live in the interior of the country, sometimes it is complicated (or expensive) to reach Ezeiza to fly to other countries. However, there are options that not only usually lower passage pricesbut they can alsor more attractive to those who live inside of the country.
“From aerial promotions we usually find other more attractive alternatives that Ezeiza. Only in Brazil there are about ’10 Ezeizas’, and already in a relatively small city like Florianopolis there is an airport of an wingspan similar to that of the main airport of Argentina. These ‘alternative’ terminals (for Argentines) They are usually cheaper than Ezeizaand starting from them you can find excellent rates, ”says Matias Mute, from the web promociones-aereas.com.ar.
The airports that consider the most attractive alternatives to fly abroad are those of bordering countriesand especially those of some cities, such as Foz do Iguazu, Saint Paul, Montevideo, Santiago de Chile y Assumption of Paraguay. And they are more everything for those who live in the interior of the country, because “for those who are in the north it is more convenient to reach Asunción or Foz than Ezeiza, and for those who are in Mendoza and even Córdoba, it is usually better to go to Santiago de Chile,” he says.
What must be taken into account if we take flights that start from these cities is that get to them with a long time in advancebecause the flight from Buenos Aires to any of them will not be connected to the next, and before an inconvenience in the first flight, such as a delay or cancellation, We can lose the second flight without the right to claimbecause both sections are not connected.
Another important point that Matías stands out is to try to Buy in agencies that have a presence in Argentina (Cases take off, Almundo, Turismocity, etc.), mainly for two reasons. One is that there are many times problems to pay with Argentine cards in abroad sites (for example, on the website of an airline in another country, or in an agency that is not based in Argentina), and another, because before any inconvenience (reprogramming, cancellation, etc.), it will be simpler to claim or look for the solution.
It is also important to note that these alternatives are especially attractive For those who have accumulated milesthat allow them to reach the starting airports of neighboring countries.
Taking these aspects into account, it is possible to find Excellent alternatives To fly to any destination in the world for much less money than we are used to paying to travel from Ezeiza.
