Hello. It seems that all internal flights go through BA...is that correct? So, if I wanted to get from Calafate to Mendoza, I would need to fly to BA first? Can someone help me understand how long a bus from BA to Mendoza would be? Many thanks! |

That is correct - BA is THE air hub. Bus trip is roughly 11 hours giver or take some...an overnight bus is the best - dinner, movie, "flight attendants", sleeper seats, bingo ( ), and waking up to see the stunning Andes come closer and closer ...sit on the left side of the bus if possible - a great angle of the Uco Valley mountains - the highest series of snow peaks in all of South America. |

HI. It looks like your question was answered. I do believe not every flight within Argentina is not always through BA (Aeroparque) however, it depends where you are going, etc. Good luck! |

A slight correction to WTM, as Mrs Picci stated sometimes flights do not connect and are non-stop. I got this graphic from the aerolineas argentinas website that shows which destinations can be flown straight.
The page with prices is here |

There are only a few... so I guess BA is THE air hub after all  |

I am traveling to Argentina in December. I have purchased plane tickets on Aerolineas for a trip from BA to Iguazo, on to Mendoza and then back to BA. Question: My trip from Iguazo to Mendoza has a change of planes in BA with a 25 minute connection at BA. Is that sufficient? |

Richard, you should be fine. The local airport is quite small. |
