We can take care of booking all the needed domestic flights for your trip.

For a worry‑free travel experience, we strongly advise letting us take care of your domestic flights. It’s common for local airlines to make several flight changes before (and sometimes during) a trip. Taking care of domestic flights will allow us to closely monitor any flight changes, adapting your trip itinerary as needed.
Our flight issuing service includes: flights booking, daily tracking of flight status and changes, reconfirmation with the airline of each flight before each departure, booking of your flight seats, web check-in (not available for all flights) and assistance with your flights arrangements if there is any flight delay, change or cancellation before or during your trip.
Argentina is a very large country, the 8th largest in the world, in fact! As such, traveling by land is too time-consuming. For example, a bus ride from Buenos Aires to Iguazu takes about 18 hours (as opposed to 1 hour and 50 minutes by plane), and the bus ride from Buenos Aires to El Calafate takes about 40 hours (as opposed to 3 hours and 15 minutes by plane).

Tips to hotel staff, tour guides, etc.
Anything not expressly mentioned in this itinerary proposal.
How Our Booking Process Works
The trip booking process generally takes from 2 to 4 business days. Once all services are booked, we will send you an invoice with the trip booking confirmation and payment instructions. If your trip start date is in fewer than 60 days, we’ll request a full trip payment. If not, we’ll request a first payment of 25% to 35% of the total trip cost, with final payment due 60 days before your trip start date.
We accept all major credit cards (we use PayPal as a credit card processor but you won't need a PayPal account to make your credit card payment), bank wire transfers or check deposits. Our prices are final, you won't have to pay anything extra no matter what payment method you use.
Important: If you use PayPal account as your payment method, they are running a promotion called "PayPal credit", where you’ll have up to 6 months to complete the payment of your trip (without any interest or extra fees). You can choose to apply during the payment process and your application will be subject to their approval. This is a great way to finance your trip payment, without any extra cost.
For more details please visit: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/paypal-credit
Our Trip Cancellation Policy
Domestic flights have a 80% penalty if cancelled, but as we book flexible airfares, they can be changed if needed for future dates with no penalty as long as the same airfare is available for the new dates (if not we can change them with no change penalty but paying for the airfare difference).
For all ground service payments (including hotels, tours and transfers) which have already been made, at the time we receive written notice that you must cancel your trip, the following fees will be charged:
- » When only the first payment has been made: up to 25% cancellation fee over the ground services first payment will apply.
- » After your total payment has been made and you cancel 45 days or more prior to your trip starting date: up to 40% cancellation fee over the total payment will apply.
- » After your total payment has been made and you cancel 36 to 45 days before the start date of the trip: up to 60% cancellation fee over total payment is applicable.
- » After your total payment has been made and you cancel 20 to 35 days before the start date of the trip: up to 80 % cancellation fee over total payment is applicable.
- » After your total payment has been made and you cancel 19 days before the trip starting date, or later: there will be no right to refunds.
We’ll always try our best to get as much of a refund as possible, depending on the trip cancellation date, and the conditions of the service suppliers.
Refunds will only be issued to you once we have received the funds back from the supplier(s). Generally, flight tickets cannot be refunded if they are partially used. We are not responsible for a supplier’s failure to pay a refund.
If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your travel insurance policy, you may be able to claim these cancellation charges through your insurance company.
