About flights from Buenos Aires (AEP)
Aeroparque Jorge Newbery sits right on the edge of the Río de la Plata — and I mean right on the edge. You can literally watch the water from the terminal. It's a city airport in the truest sense, just minutes from Palermo and Recoleta, which means no soul-crushing hour-long taxi rides before your flight. With 60 direct routes across South America, it's the kind of hub that actually gets you where you want to go without routing through some random layover city.

Why fly to Buenos Aires?
Here's what surprised me most — the sheer domestic reach. Argentina is a massive country, and AEP connects to 38 routes within the country alone. Want Patagonia? Done. The wine country around Mendoza? Easy. But it's the international connections that get interesting. Brazil pulls 15 routes, so whether you're heading to São Paulo for business or Rio for the obvious reasons, you've got options. The longest route out of here is Bogotá at 4,666 km — genuinely impressive for a regional hub. And then there's Montevideo, just 221 km across the water, practically a day trip. The connectivity score of 63 out of 99 tells you this airport punches solid without pretending to be a global mega-hub.

Tips for travelers at AEP
Getting to Aeroparque is honestly one of the easier airport experiences in South America. Taxis from the city center take 15-20 minutes on a good day — just use a remis (pre-booked cab) to avoid haggling. The 33 and 45 bus lines run close by if you're budget-conscious. Don't book tight connections through here during summer (December to February) — afternoon thunderstorms can cause real delays. Arrive 90 minutes before domestic flights, two hours for international. And bring pesos for food inside — card readers aren't always cooperating.
