London to Buenos Aires, which Airline?

[majordad]

Mrs MD has now changed our plan to a flight from London to Buenos Aires ( our earlier Chile Thread ). So has any PHer a recommendation on what airline to use and a hotel for a nite or two in Buenos Aires before we head on to meet our son in Chile.

Anything to see/ do in Buenos Aires , IIRC there used be an FI Track there, where s Fangio buried ?

BA are the only direct choice.

Iberia, KLM and Air France will give you European choices.

RAF Ascension Island - Port Stanley. Then by light aircraft to Punto Arenas, flying under Argentine radar. Completing your adventure by bus to your chosen destination. Remember to dress like a local - loose lips cost lives.

You never mentioned the HALO Jump at the end, like H Jones VCs replacement.

Iberians ok ( to be fair though rhis flight over the service was particularl crappy) but not sure about in cattle class.

Btw Santiago is lovely 30c dry heat at the mo. Just about to pop out for dinner, should be a nice walk this time of night.

Why are you going to BSA? Edit sorry didn't read.

Marriott stmartin sq is ok. Bit retro though. LAN flight over to chile is quick and fine.

Eat nothing but steak whilst there

Personally I would go BA. I did that route on Iberia, changing in Madrid, and the service was shocking.

[fadeaway]

KLM ... shudder

You could try Royal Airforce Airways. The Argie basher type III Typhoon class is the best way in. Come in low and fast over La Plata..... hug the coast... keep around 150ft. Once you have eyes on south doc bank hard right, release ordinance, deploy chaff, hit afterburner... simples. Beware of the Eco reserve to the north. We dont want any harm caused to any innocent llamas. Or if you fancy a 'cruise' you could wait for HMS Astute.... she carries 38 of them


Dont Cry for me Argentina!

[Puggit]

Your money isn't wanted in Argentina - time to go elsewhere!
