I had the opportunity to try their service, including their A330, and I was impressed! Definitely not an airline to skip. Give it a try, you won’t regret. ✈️
Finally found a rational airline reviewer that not moaning excessively about bad flight experiences or bragging a lot about being a "survivor". Just pure, objective flight review with neutral (or normal) tone to explain the pros and cons of the flight
I must say, I love the brutally honest format, especially because it's narrated, which is much nicer than subtitles... I would love to see other simply aviation reviews narrated too!

Finally Aerolíneas Argentinas!! Cheers from Buenos Aires
Se escucha decir a la azafata: "El mate lo puede llevar, pero lo tiene que guardar al despegar. No puede despegar con el mate". Qué bien que el mate sea algo normal en una aereolínea. Son esas pequeñas cosas que se agigantan cuando uno viaja en esas otras aereolíneas donde todo es diferente. Nunca viajé por Aereolíneas Argentinas, pero por todo lo que muestra, veo que debería de hacerlo. Excelente video

Viaje por Aerolineas, Gol , Azul y Latam, no he tenido problemas con ninguna pero sin dudas Aerolineas es la mejor. A veces un vuelo puede demorarse en plataforma , mientras estas en rodaje o antes de abordar pero los que somos pilotos (aunque no comerciales ) sabemos que eso depende de mil factores, la mayoria de las veces ajenos a las empresas aéreas. Una vez en Galeao esperamos 3 horas a bordo de un A 320 de latam para un vuelo de 30 minutos y fue por el cierre del aeropuerto de destino.

Sin embargo me cambiaron horarios de vuelo horas antes en British Airways, complicándome la vida, y he viajado super incómodo en Iberia, Aireuropa y la colombiana q no recuerdo su nombre.

I loved this video! Being from Brazil I'm glad when I see reports from this part of the world. I also have to commend you on making an effort to pronounce "Aerolíneas Argentinas" or "Barajas" as a Spanish speaker, a real nice touch. Great report as always, thanks for sharing!!

Cool! I recently flew Aerolineas as well, on domestic routes though and it also exceeded my expectations!
Just had 3 flights with Aerolinas Argentinas within Argentina, incl. a 4 hour domestic flight in their A330 as well. I was surprised how on-time all my flight were, very punctual compared to European carriers. Did not expect that. And the Argentinians are wonderful people. Try some Yerba Mate 😎

Ezeiza airport is located +20 km away from downtown, in a very large portion of plain surface, just above the médium sea level. Being there produces a temperature deviation of about 2-3 Celsius less than the city, so in autumn and winter is very líkely to have a thick fog almost every day before sunrise and it Can last during the morning too.

My first & Last South-America was in the late of 2013 (good 10 years ago) by "KLM" via AMS to EZE - the long distance. An extra trip began from AEP via RGL to PUQ and back (Stopover at Puerto Montt) via Santiago de Chile - AEP. The return way was to Europe via Rio der Janeiro (by "GOL") and then by "KLM".

Sí, como lo lees, los colores fueron por un capricho de la persona más corrupta de la historia del país. También fueron pintados así los trenes y el nuevo avión del presidente Fernández. Banana Republic. 😢 PS: los colores de Racing Club son horribles y ese equipo siempre ha sido vinculado con el partido peronista, el último partido fascista del planeta.

Really enjoyed the video, thanks! I had a similar situation back in June 2016, I was travelling LIS-MAD-MVD with AirEuropa and due to bad weather in Montevideo we had to be rerouted to EZE. We spent like three/four hours within the plane and then started the flight back to MVD.
Amazing report. Thanks for posting!

The way David is explaining in that Spanish accent is commendable 😂😂🎉
I am from Ecuador and I went on a vacation to some countries in Europe, and before I went back to Guayaquil I came from Amsterdam on a 787-9 (Air Europa) March 31 on the night I think those 787's and that 737 Wizzair 5:19 5:32 are the same ones that I saw! (I went back to Guayaquil in April 1)
I remember that because the day you filmed that I also in Montevideo. I arrive from Miami on Ar1303, also diverted to Montevideo.
Very nice vlog, very informative!
Another top-notch flight review. The diversion is an unexpected perk for an avgeek, maybe a little less interesting for the common passenger, but this flight was super interesting. Only thing missing is a WiFi offer, super useful in such cases. I also miss their lovely A340s... Please continue to keep us entertained!
Thank you for flying on my country’s airline
Great video! I'm glad you enjoyed our flag carrier. You should make a video with our local low cost airline, Flybondi. I've flown with them a couple of times and their service is great.

With some 4million Latin Americans in Spain, pretty much every LatAm flight feels like a domestic one, especially those to Buenos Aires or Montevideo.
Ezeiza Intl. Airport was built in a low land outside Buenos Aires. That's why fog is very common during night and morning.
Hi! I'm really scared of flights and was wondering if on your way to BA there were any turbulences because of doldrums?
