FREE FLIGHTS FOR FOREIGNERS....

They’d need to show me the number of new cases / hospitalizations and % of population vaccinated before I’d even glance at free travel. With or without a couple of steaks and a case of Malbec.

And even then, I wouldn’t trust their word.

I'd be reading the small print very closely.....£250 to check-in a suitcase plus £50 for a cup of char.

Waiting for the special offers for the residents ...any day now

Is it economy only? I'm more used to being nearer the front!

I haven't a clue what's been happening with air travel since the virus appeared. Does Aerolineas still fly to the UK?

If so, UK Man , maybe you can tap into one of those freebie flights the govt is teasing?

I hope that quarantine hotel stay comes with a minibar and snacks -

Our friend who was quarantined in BsAs a couple of months ago did not get to choose her hotel, which was a fleabag with an electrical system so antiquated and overloaded she wasn’t allowed a coffeemaker, due to concerns about overloading the system.

I believe she had to stay there 14 days.

Going back to History, Aerolíneas Argentinas was the first airline in all the Americas to use the famous De Havilland Comet, in 1959,

Still the times that when we want to purchase high tech articles, UK was our best supplier,

The only problem of those planes was that its fuselage was narrow. The change came with the wide fuselage planes, like the Boeing 707 and later models.

This made the airfares much more accessible to more people.

The quarantine hotel where we are had been lying abandoned for years before they opened it up for the unfortunates. Those forced to stay in it eventually came out in a much worse state than they arrived in!

Aerolineas hasnt flown a scheduled flight to UK for quite a few years - there have been one or two charters, but that's it.

It's Madrid only and then onto London with a low-cost or Iberia or BA or Air Europa.

Still, at the moment, we are on the ARGIE banned list and I think Argentina is on the UK Red List which means quarantine in a hotel for 10 days at a cost of 2500 notes ( the ones with a picture of Lizzie)

I didn't know that. I remember they flew from Gatwick but thought they'd moved to Heathrow.

Carlos , were there 2 seats per row?

Yes, almost very similar to the DC6, DC6 B and Superconstellation. But with jets, not propellers. Quite fast than the other planes.

A very fine plane, we were proud of Aerolineas at that time.

To be accurate, two seats at every side. A total row had 4 seats.
