For the foreigners they are much more expensive... Does anybody know how strict is this rule? Can I buy this fare on Arrival to Argentina for pesos? Do they check the citizenship at the time of payment? Thanks Wojtek --- You can lose everything, but nobody will take away what you saw and what you experienced... W.D.

"An Argentine friend tells me that there are six or seven domestic air fares available to him, but that only one of them, the unrestricted, "B" fare, is available to foreign nationals. You might want to try contacting an Argentine travel agent for more information; there is one called ASATEJ that I have seen recommended; if you can find their Web site you should be able to get accurate information from them." from rec.travel.latin-america tashi --- LIFE IS AN ATTITUDE!

Sometimes they let you slide just depends on the agent. There are some travel agents that play a bit looser and issue tickets at that rate and that seems to work without a problem. Depends on where you are going. .... I'll try... Wojtek --- You can lose everything, but nobody will take away what you saw and what you experienced... W.D.
