Travelling to Argentina in 2022 – AIR083

 

Redeeming Qantas Frequent Flyer points to get to South America is hard enough at normal times, but it’s even more difficult when all direct flights between the two continents have been suspended!

Gus Higgins flew from Australia to Argentina in February 2022 on a Oneworld Classic Flight Reward ticket booked with Qantas points, travelling via Europe in Business Class. In this episode, he shares his experience of getting to and visiting South America in this post-pandemic era. He also explains the unique travel money situation in Argentina – a country with high inflation and two very different exchange rates.
