With apologies, I’m a day behind on this fare alert because I didn’t have access to Blogsmith over the weekend. I was surprised to find the fare still in tact when I returned from traveling though, so thought I would pass around the good news.
United is having a crazy sale to Buenos Aires that went into effect yesterday. From destinations all over the country including the Washington DC area, Los Angeles, New York City and even Detroit, travelers can book round trip tickets into Argentina for well under 650$, with some tickets as low as 599$. Travel dates appear to be valid through the end of June, with even some availability over the Fourth of July.
Book an extra long weekend over the Fourth and take some time to visit Mendoza, Argentina’s famous wine country, Patagonia, the huge nature preserve after which the outdoor clothing company is named or Montevideo, Uruguay’s Capital city that’s only a short boat ride away. I’m already jealous.
Mind you, it is winter time in Buenos Aires, so you’ll be experiencing weather in the mid 50’s while you’re down there. But the country is beautiful, the dollar is strong and the culture is rich. You can handle it.
Use Kayak’s flexible three day search around your target dates to find availbility. As of 2230 EST on June 15th, I’m still finding plenty of availability.
