Since the devastating financial crisis in 2001, most airlines in Argentina offer strongly discounted fares to argentine residents on domestic flights. Because airlines still need to cover their costs, they apply an international price to foreign tourists visiting the country. However, if you choose to buy your ticket over the internet, or at your local Aerolineas Argentinas office, you can easily save some dollars over the tourist fares charged once you are in Argentina. Also, special discounts are applied if you choose Aerolineas Argentinas for your international flight too.
