Cons: "The announcement at 7am could have been avoided. It woke people up."
Pros: "I liked nothing about this flight."
Cons: "The flight was terrible. Poor communication from the airline staff about delay and extensive wait to pick up baggage from New York airport. I highly discouraged any traveler from flying with Aerolineas Argentinas. The food was very bad and the airline crew was unprofessional."

Pros: "Plane was great... staff was awesome"

Pros: "The price was competitive compare with other airlines for the end of the year holiday travel."
Cons: "My sit didn’t recline at all it was very uncomfortable the entire trip added to the small space for each sit and from row to row."
Pros: "Terminal was spacious and pleasant. Crew was professional."
Cons: "I am baffled as to why water bottles were confiscated or emptied at the gate. This is the only airport in which I have encountered this after you have passed through security. It is important to stay hydrated on flights and the small cups of water delivered twice during the flight are not sufficient. No indication was given on tickets of what meals would be served. I ended up paying for a dinner in the airport only to be served a dinner at 12:30 am on the flight. It would make more sensed to have a light snack at that hour and a better breakfast served in the morning. The US Customs card handed to me was in Spanish only. An English option would have been good."
Pros: "The flight wasn't full so the extra sit helped to make it more comfortable."
Pros: "On time, efficient boarding, entertainment console."
Pros: "Basically good and safe flight Food was served twice"
Cons: "Too hot Not enough liquids were served Tried to contact attendant and never got response Pressure upon landing was extremely painful in ears"

Pros: "The ground staff was very friendly and helpful."
Cons: "Lining up to board is very confusing"
Cons: "No signage at all and lots of confusion with gate to flight. There was an hour delay which I was not notified until arriving at the gate."
Pros: "Staff was excellent"
Cons: "No reason to have dinner at 1:00 am. Just let us sleep. Too much waste with low-quality food and garbage created."
Pros: "They called me the day before a major snowstorm and moved up the flight. Optionally they would have rescheduled me on a later flight! The flight was timed perfectly to take off as the first flurries fell! Unlike hundreds of other flights I was not stranded or rescheduled!"
Pros: "I loved the attention of the crew, food, entertainment (Argentine films) and the way they did the boarding."
Pros: "Boarding the plane back to front is common sense! Food was decent, the dessert was somehow really delicious."
Cons: "Checking-in in Argentina was chaotic and hard to understand, but they got the job done, apparently they have a system that works for them, but as an outsider it's hard to recognize. Way too many announcements for an overnight flight. They also served breakfast at midnight for some reason? Could just be the awkward time of the flight."
Pros: "good movies"
Cons: "cramped space because I'm very tall. I went to talk to aerolinas that I wanted an emergency seat because of my height but they didn't change the seat and while in flight I saw the seats were empty and moved but was kicked out by crew members who didn't care I was in great discomfort."
Cons: "Boarding in Buenos Aires was an unorganized mess. The seats were very uncomfortable on the plane. Food was bad."
Cons: "We were seated in the front row in order to have our daughter use the bassinet, but there were no bassinets available."
Pros: "Clean, efficient, friendly modern airline. Absolutely no complaints, especially given the rock bottom rate we paid!"
Cons: "No issues with the airplane or staff. Travelers to Argentina should know, however, that the airlines require proof of a ticket for leaving the country before boarding their flight. We had only booked one way so we had to book a bus ticket to Uruguay using our cell phones. It was very disconcerting. (Some very kind airline staff helped us with that). And even more so because no one at customs in Argentina asked for any return information! A last minute return flight booking at the gate was quoted at an outrageous sum."
Pros: "Crew were very responsible and respectful."
Cons: "At Ezeiza Airport the Aerolineas Argentinas attendants for the checking were too slow! Food/ dinner very poor. The flight/ pilot was good. Crew was good. At the JFK I have to wait almost 4 hours for the luggage!!"
Pros: "Direct from BA to NYC"
Cons: "Very cramped seats. Limited entertainment selection."
Pros: "Good service and food flight on time"
Cons: "The tiny seat and no much inclination"
Pros: "Departure and arrival on time . Overall hassle free"
Cons: "Least space between my face, knees and seat in front of any plane I've ever been on. Food mediocre, coffee pretty bad. Because of cramped soace I couldnt even eat without getting food on my clothes"
Cons: "Flight was cancelled and I could not do my trip"
Pros: "Absolutely nothing"
Cons: "Delays, lack of information provided. No English US customs forms?! Extremely uncomfortable. If possible, never flying this airline again."
Pros: "Flight attendants bearly smile at you but overall the service was ok."
Cons: "I was looking to have a warm breakfast but instead the airline went with easy, cheap cold bread and sugar bars. Coffee was not good either. I felt cheated and fat after getting off. Flight attendants bearly smile at you but overall the service was ok."
Cons: "The crew in Ezeiza aerport"
Pros: "Service Food On time"
Cons: "Space berween seats which is as small as in other airlines"
Cons: "I understand I bought a flight in economy, however, to sit for a 12 hour flight the space provided was super uncomfortable and it wasn't enough leg room. I have been on a 5 hour flight to Mexico from JFK with both AeroMexico and Interjet under economy and both airline provided significant leg room. I was disappointed with Aerolineas Argentinas, I was expecting more comfort."
Pros: "Leg room its ridiculous, very very uncomfortable for a 10 hours flight"
Pros: "there wasnt much i liked."
Cons: "i was very sick on the flight and didnt feel good, i had hoped i could be moved being that id be in and out of the bathroom alot, they told me my seat was "close enough" to not worry. it was not. i asked for juice and wouldnt give me any because they had to serve at breakfast so i had to drink water. they leave the whole back row open without people as well as another section closed by curtains but couldnt accomodate me to feel more comfortable, besides the crew was rude. i also really didnt like that when i called to reserve my seats (because for some reason it wouldnt let me do it online) the person on the phone was the worst, she seemed mad because i spoke to her in english instead of spanish, and couldnt give me any of the seats i asked for"
Pros: "All pretty good. Cheerful helpful staff at counter and on flight. The expected half hour departure delay was communicated one week in advance! Very considerate."
Cons: "Some grumpy crew members that obviously did not appreciate being on the special schedule flight departing at 4am. Priority Boarding had only one security check personnel (as oppose to the six people at regular boarding). This made the boarding process very slow. The airline should allocate personal to the priority boarding first and then move them to the regular boarding once priority boarding is complete."
Pros: "Pleasant crew."
Cons: "A bit crowded seats, especially to watch TV screen less than a foot in front of eyes -- not good for eye sight."
Cons: "The seats were so tightly packed that a normal adult can't keep avoid touching the seat in front with their knees. Add to this the crew did *two* beverage passes on an 11hr flight…horrible."
Pros: "Seats were comfortable, plane seemed clean, the atmosphere was calm and quiet, and flight was on time."
Cons: "Food from New York to Argentina was very good. Food from Argentina to New York was a bit stale, coffee was especially poor."
Cons: "not anywhere near enough leg room"
Pros: "Crew was friendly, good selection of movies, easy boarding process"
Cons: "Very uncomfortable seating and headphones. Crew did not come around with water at all during the night"
Cons: "I didn't like my entire experience with aerolineas argentinas I strongly recommend that you avoid flying with them at all cost. Poor customer , horrible attitudes outdated planes zero comfort on the longest leg of the trip. JUST do yourself a favor and don't do it!!"
