I had to travel for work and the company buy a ticket with Aerolineas Argentinas. Terrific choice because you never know if your flight will start or will be cancelled for something about unions or if you had lucky and have just a delayed flight, the crew was too much waiting and them you have to wait the new crew. But, for the first time we had too much lucky and the flight was a "little delayed" time.

The B737 is a oldie one, was the LV CSC from Virgin Australia and now with Aerolineas Argentinas.

The cabin is to noisy and the seats with leather looks more oldie.

The pitch is a problem if you are more than 1.75 but this is usuall in this kind of regionals planes.

e service was this little box with a Mini Alfajor, a Lemon cookie and a salty snacks with a soft drink.

Conclusion

Well, i dont like AR and the service and the crew of they, but the flight was on time (Like a miracle) and was a different experiencie since i left to flight with Aerolineas, 8 years ago. They have very importants problems with delayed and cancelled flights, Unions Crew and God knows what more.
But this route just fly Aerolineas and Lan. I hope Avianca start to flight in Argentina soon and have a another and good option.

Thanks for sharing this FR.

AR offers a pretty poor product compared to a lot of the South American competitors; others seem to offer better snacks. That's a real retro cabin with those seats and square windows. The ads on the antimacassars just ads to the LCC feel of this product. Still better than most of the North American carriers though!

Gracias por compartir este reporte Paccalof.

Unfortunately on a domestic route like this there little competition and the customers have to resign to what they get. However, compared to what you get in the U.S., you still had a better experience.
