The Visit Argentina Pass
This is actually a booklet of four flight cou-
pons that must be purchased at the time
you buy your ticket to Argentina. Provided
you fly to Argentina on Aerolíneas, the cost
of the booklet is $420. Otherwise it is $500.
Each coupon is good for one flight within Ar-
gentina. Up to four additional coupons can
be purchased for $110, or $130 if you fly to
Argentina on another carrier, and must be
purchased at the time you buy your ticket to
Argentina. All coupons, are valid for 30 days
from the date the first coupon is redeemed.
You have to plan carefully since you must
state the destinations you intend to use the
coupons for at time of purchase (dates are
open), and each connecting flight requires
an individual coupon.
