Flights to Argentina 

A flight from London Heathrow to Buenos Aires takes around 13 hours and 30 minutes. 

British Airways flies to Argentina from London Heathrow Airport. 

It’s cheapest to fly to Argentina during the autumn and winter months, when the weather is significantly cooler. Don’t let lower temperatures put you off though – Argentina offers many year-round attractions that you can explore at your pace with fewer crowds and less humidity. Use our low fare finder to find the cheapest time to visit Argentina. 

Each season offers a different perspective on Argentina’s diverse landscape. Head to Buenos Aires in autumn or spring to explore the city free from summer’s fierce heat. In Patagonia, you can see sprawling glaciers and crystal ice lakes throughout winter, while the warmer months are the perfect time to watch dense forests come alive with foliage and flowers. And if you do head to Argentina in the summer, you can make the most of the weather by sampling local flavours at one of the country’s extensive wine regions. 

The cost of a trip to Argentina will depend on where you go, but it’s possible to adapt your itinerary to suit your budget. As the capital, Buenos Aires can be an expensive city, particularly during the summer months. Some parts of the Andes are also expensive, like Bariloche, an area known for its picturesque views, ski slopes and European architecture. But there are lots of budget-friendly hostels available, and the bordering cities are walkable. You can pick up affordable, authentic bites like empanadas, small pastries filled with meat, cheeses and vegetables, or choripan, grilled chorizo sausage served in a crusty bread roll and topped with chimichurri. There are plenty of free outdoor attractions like public beaches, parks, plazas and historic districts too.

Once you touch down in Argentina, you’ll find the big cities – and small towns in-between – are well connected by the country’s train system. Buses are also easy and cheap to use for city or long-distance travel. There are plenty of licensed taxis that can be booked through apps. 

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to see more of what Argentina has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental. 

A country of buzzing metropolises, diverse ecosystems, iconic natural landscapes and golden-sand beaches, there’s something for everyone in Argentina. Enjoy the delicious food, rich culture and discover the country’s festivals throughout the year for a taste of the authentic Argentinian way of life.
