Wow - Hope they sort this out before we fly to Mendoza next weekend!! This may explain why it took us several hours on Saturday just to pay for our tickets. Aerolineas has a fairly archaic IT system which probably doesn’t help… It was pretty entertaining watching Hoff pull out his laptop and show his reservation confirmation to the ticket office…

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Frustrated passengers smashed ticket counters and threw objects at airline staff at Argentina’s main airport on Saturday after the country’s flagship airline canceled international flights for a second day.  Television images showed damaged ticket counters and broken glass in the main hall of the Aerolineas Argentinas terminal, where passengers angry at delays caused by a baggage handlers strike and a walkout by ticket counter workers shouted down an Aerolineas Argentinas employee and threw objects at him.
