First let me apolgise for having my facts wrong about AA. I stand correted....thanks Nahuel!...As for Yoni2NY i have travelled all over Europe-Eastern Europe, Cuba, and West Africa and i must say that theres is no excuse for poor Customer Service. After all this is suppopsed to be an intl carrier. Ive flown from Liberia and Sierra Leone to Europe many times and any delays were promptly communicated and all info disseminated to pasengers. And this was Africa! The flight did not leave until 4 the following morning!...and yes i did read, chat(en español amd english), sleep etc...So to sit and comment in mindless optimism about the SA Travel experience is that im clearly "not ready to travel in SA" is quite misplaced.

Having a great time overall!

Not only gringos, but a bulk of Argentine population would boykott AA and all other AAs for obvious reasons. But, they don't have a choice.

ready/not ready - what a pile!

someone mentioned they would choose TAM over varig, and i could go on about the delays on all my TAM flights last month in Brasil; withoiut any explanantions, missed connections and all that. and not just TAM, american airlines had similar delays. And while on that subject, delays affect every airline, and not just because of lack of funding or bad management, as esteros points out, could be the weather.

Overall i think travelling is getting easier to book, and harder to actually go through. security, long lines at airports, delays, missed connections, gosh ! and to think i loved airports as a kid...but to be fair, its just the bad trips we remember. Most of my flights this year ( india via europe, within india and the US) have been smooth.

argentina the day after ! hope no delays :)
