I’m planning a trip from Buenos Aires to Puerto Iguazu (falls).
The baggage allowance is only 15kg but I’ll be travelling from UK with a 23kg allowance.
The baggage and excess details on the website is confusing. https://www.aerolineas.com.ar/en-us/baggage-allowance?tab=excess-baggage
If I take 23kg is the excess one price?
What have other people done. Any advice would be appreciated.
@Skovronp – I’m not sure if I fully understand your question but with AR on domestic flights, in economy your allowance is 15kg unless you have travelled long haul with SkyTeam or have the relevant status. There’s also an absolute limit of 23kg per bag. Any excess between the 15kg up to 23kg, you will pay the ARS21,000, it’s not per kg. There’s a separate tariff for excessive sizes bags, extra bags or sports equipment.
It’s really worth considering Premium Economy (the highest class on domestic flights). If you book early, it doesn’t usually cost more than economy plus a bag, you will avoid the very long queues for economy check-in at Aeroparque (and the queues at the excess counter), plus priority boarding and proper business seats. Your baggage allowance is also 2 x 15kg which they pool individually and collectively. They will generally ignore excess if travelling PE – at least that’s our experience on 10 of 12 recent flights with significant excess.
