South America was the last continent to have direct flights to Australia restored following the pandemic. But the 3x weekly LATAM Airlines flights from Sydney to Santiago via Auckland were not yet running when Gus Higgins needed to travel to Argentina during February and March 2022. Instead, he redeemed Qantas Frequent Flyer points to book a Oneworld Classic Flight Reward in Business Class – travelling the long way via Europe.
In Episode 83 of the AFF on Air podcast, host Matt Graham chats to Gus about how he booked the trip to Argentina using Qantas points and what it was like flying to and visiting South America in early 2022. The interview also covers the unique travel money situation in Argentina, where you can get almost double the amount of Pesos by changing money at the unofficial exchange rate!
