Fly Cheap to Argentina

March 3, 2022 by Laurie Deppa Leave a Comment


How can 2 fly cheap to Argentina for $500 Round-Trip from DC? American Express is how. This was my fourth trip to Buenos Aires – one of my favorite areas in the world. It can be very expensive getting from the Washington DC area to Argentina during peak season. January/February is summer and normally tickets run $1000 or more.

Fly Cheap to Argentina on AMEX Points

The trip was booked last-minute and in fact, tickets were in the $1200 range per person. I needed to book 2 tickets and looked at a couple of options, including Chase and AMEX. I went with AMEX where I had over 117,161 points from my American Express Business Gold Rewards Card.

How I Booked Cheap Travel to Argentina

It has great benefits…

AMEX Business Gold Rewards Card Benefits

Best of all you earn 70,000 American Express Membership Rewards Points after you spend $10,000 of eligible purchases with your card in the first three months.

What I really like about AMEX is that you don’t need the exact amount of points to book with them. I looked up the American Express Travel section on the American Express site to find what flights were available and for what cost. Being so close to travel, I didn’t have many options.

BOOK TRAVEL EASILY WITH AMEX

There was a roundtrip from DCA (Washington DC) to EZE (Buenos Aires) with a layover in MIA (Miami). I called the agent at AMEX travel and told her which flights I wanted and she booked the flights for me. They have a funny way of doing it – they charge you the full price but then credit you back the value of your points on your next statement. The cost was $1674.54 with my AMEX Business Gold Rewards Card. Then 117,161 points were deducted from my rewards account and a credit of $1171.61 was applied to my card account.

That’s how I paid $502.93 for 2 roundtrip tickets to Argentina during peak season! So how can 2 people fly cheap to Argentina for $500? – by following my posts – that’s how!
