I’m looking into spending 6 weeks in BA early next year… the flight down from NY is like $700 but all the flights back to the US start at $1,700… is it always like that? Seems a little absurd

Flights out of Argentina are super expensive due to the three impuestos país. I always buy my tickets out of Santiago, Chile. Round trips from Chile run me $7-800 while costing around $1,800 out of BA.

Ok good to know. Worth it to spend some time in Santiago?

I live in Mendoza, so just take the 35 min flight over on travel days. Bus over the Andes if it's a holiday and flight prices are outrageous.

Santiago is worth seeing, but it's expensive, and I've done it. So it's just a layover now.
