Do you have any tips for my flight to Buenos Aires?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Buenos Aires holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First things first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Buenos Aires?
The secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Buenos Aires in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:
  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.

Best time to go to Buenos Aires

Peak Season:

The city can be a little quiet from December to February, since many locals go on holiday during these months. Despite this, cheap flights to Buenos Aires can be tricky to find, as tourists take this time to flood the streets. If you like mingling with your fellow visitors, this is a great time to listen to some music at the ND/Ateneo, see the wildlife at the Parque Temaikén, or spend a day shopping and sightseeing at San Telmo.

Shoulder Season:

The shoulder season in Buenos Aires falls from March to May, and September to November. Tourism dies down during these months; however, the city is still alive with events like Fashion Buenos Aires in March and September, the Feria Internacional del Libro in April and May, and the Casa Foa design fair in October and November.

Off Season:

Flights are usually very cheap from June to August, as tourism drastically declines during these chilly, wet-weather months. Those who do not mind the romantically gray days will be rewarded with events like the Buenos Aires Tango Festival and uncrowded attractions like the Latin American Art Museum of Buenos Aires.
