Travel Best Domestic Airlines for Traveling Around Argentina? ✈️

[ChloeE]

Hey everyone!

I’m planning a trip to Argentina soon (can’t wait! 😄), and I’m starting to organize some travel within the country. I’d love to explore a few places like Bariloche, Salta, Mendoza, and maybe even El Calafate.
For those of you who’ve traveled around Argentina:
Which airlines do you recommend for domestic flights?
Are there any budget-friendly options that are still reliable?
Also, any tips on booking flights like when to buy tickets, or whether delays are common?

Appreciate any advice or recent experiences you can share. Thanks in advance!

If you're looking for comfort and more reliable service, Aerolíneas Argentinas is your best bet. It’s the national airline, has the most routes, and tends to be more punctual. It’s a bit pricier than low-cost options, but it includes bags and snacks, so sometimes the final price is similar.

I’ve flown with Flybondi and JetSMART several times, both are low-cost and usually the cheapest if you book early. Just keep in mind they charge for everything (seat selection, bags, etc.), so factor that in. Also, they mostly fly from Aeroparque (AEP), which is super convenient if you’re staying in Buenos Aires!

Personally, I wouldn’t recommend Flybondi unless it’s your absolute only option. I had a couple of bad experiences, major delays and last-minute cancellations with very little communication. Also, they fly out of El Palomar or Ezeiza, not always Aeroparque, which can be a hassle depending on where you’re staying.

If you can, go with Aerolíneas Argentinas or even JetSMART , they might cost a bit more upfront, but they’re way more reliable and less stressful overall. Sometimes cheap ends up being expensive 🙃
