Practical tips
Especially during high season or long weekends, bus and flight tickets can sell out. Booking your seats or flights online in advance guarantees your spot and saves you stress.
For overnight bus journeys, opting for a 'cama' (bed) or 'semi-cama' (reclining) seat provides more comfort. It's worth the slightly higher price for a better night's sleep.
Always double-check your ticket for the exact departure terminal. Major cities can have multiple, and arriving at the wrong one can cause you to miss your transport.
If connecting from a domestic flight to an international one, or between different modes of transport, ensure you have ample time. Argentine airports and bus terminals can be busy.
Have your ID, passport (if applicable), and tickets readily accessible. This speeds up check-in and boarding processes, especially for flights.
