Time to go

(6-7 April 2012)

This travel has been in the planning phase for more than one year and yet we have not been able to book the tickets earlier than 40 hours from the flight that took us from Zurich to Buenos Aires. I am still surprised that one can just do it, like that.

Do you know that flying is the third most dangerous mode of
transportation, if you count by journey? 

This was mostly a traveling day, and as I am scared of flying, a terrible one. Once in Buenos Aires, we decided to flight further south, to Patagonia. We booked right away a one way flight ticket to El Calafate and before the sunset we were at destination. Hopefully, from now on, there will be no more flights.

Numbers*.  The ticket, Zurich-Buenos Aires and Peru-Roma, costed about 1200 Eur, while the one way flight to El Calafate, was about 200 US$. In particular, we bought the flight to El Calafate online from the airport, and we saved 100 US$ with respect to the price that they were giving us at the LAN counter at the same airport.



* As I hope that these posts will be useful to others, I am going to report some details at the end of the post, just to give you an idea of resources employed, mostly time and money.
