Buenos Aires, Argentina is the primary gateway for visitors to Las Leñas. From there, you will transfer from the International airport to the Domestic airport. A charter flight takes you to Malarque and a bus transfer takes you to the resort.

Flights from the US typically depart the gateway airport in the evening and arrive in South America the next morning. This allows for time to sleep on the plane and to transfer to the resort once you arrive. Consider upgrading to business class for these overnight flights. What price for comfort and a good night's sleep?
