.... to Córdoba!
When booking, we noticed that there is a third airport here besides EZE (international) and AEP (primarily domestic flights): El Palomar (EPA). From there, we could have booked a flight to Córdoba with FlyBondi for less than € 40, but it was at a very late time. Although the airport is conveniently located for us, we decided to take a € 54 flight with Norwegian at 16:00 from AEP. Leandro thought it was a very good decision. According to his assessment, FlyBondi only got approval due to the owner's friendship with the current president Macri and otherwise has a very bad reputation.
In the evening before the flight, the giant cactus on the terrace says goodbye with a beautiful blossom: queen for just one night.
In the morning, I decide to be optimistic and leave Schulz&Schulz behind. We will also be driven to the airport with a guaranteed seat.
Of course, also on the plane, and surprisingly with plenty of legroom and even coffee, tea and water, even though the Norwegian website said: 'sin servicio'! Clean plane, smooth handling and quick boarding, relatively punctual, friendly staff on the ground and in the air. What more could you want? Full marks - gladly again.
For the turbulence during the flight and the terrible welcome weather, the (judging by his pronunciation, Argentine) pilot cannot be blamed. The light cloud cover and showers in Buenos Aires in the afternoon, which allowed a nice view of the Delta shortly after take-off, turned into a dense layer of fog with heavy continuous rain in the course of the 90-minute flight to the west. Fortunately, we were picked up by car!
Unfortunately, in the continuous rain, the exposed electrical lines for the house during construction had submerged. Therefore, the neighbors had to be supplied with a power cord laid through the window across the yard in order to at least provide power for the refrigerator and cell phones.
Romantic evening by candlelight, beer and pizza delivery.
