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.

How to survive the flight to Buenos Aires?
If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your time in Buenos Aires.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you’ll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Buenos Aires?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Buenos Aires in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
