If you are planning to visit other cities make sure you consider an airpass first. You'll pay a lot less for your flights. Check this before you buy your flight to Buenos Aires since the airpasses are only available when you arrive to South America with a certain airline. You can read more...

The problem is that insurance companies need to have a diversified portfolio to reduce risks.

I would like to spend some time in Chile so a stopover in Santiago would be perfect. Do you know if LAN charges an additional fee if you stay a few days there?

What would you have done differently in Buenos Aires? any advice?

If you fly via LAN via Santiago to Buenos Aires, can you stay in Santiago for a few days without paying extra? what about Qantas?

Low season in Argentina starts in March and ends in September so this is when you are going to find the cheapest flights. There is a short period in July when prices go up again due to the winter holidays. Have fun!
