There are two airports in Buenos Aires. This is important, particularly if the bus you return to town in is delayed in traffic and you only have 1 hour to get from the central bus station to the departure gate of Andes Airlines flight 132 to Puerto Madryn.
It is vital in these circumstances to clarify your choice of domestic or international terminal when communicating your destination to the cab driver. Be aware that the generic word for Airport in Spanish – aeropuerto - has a very specific meaning in Buenos Aires. Aeropuerto and Aeropark may sound similar but they are NOT the same thing and their variance in function is a subtle but important one.
So, for a stress free trip to catch your domestic flight, why not do a little research first? That way you wont end up heading entirely the wrong way down the city’s most crowded street, putting valuable metres and time between you and the busiest domestic airport in the country.
Get it right first time every time and get to your destination happy.
We made the flight. But we were last to check in.
Thanks go out to our driver Jorge who earned every centime of his ludicrously generous tip.
That is all,
