After a sudden trip to Argentina to spend christmas with my family, I am back. I have just arrived (a couple of hour ago) and I want to put some pics from my digital camara. Well this time was a charter flight from my local airport. Both flights were on an old IB B747-200, decorated in a tacky way (today) christmas decorations all over, crew with Santa hats while serving and the way back with many turbulences and delays due to weather conditions. Flight entreteinment regular stuff, with Harry Potter on both segments. Meals: Chicken with vegetable and rice, seafood salad and christmas desserts. Breakfast: Omellet and grilled tomatoes, croissant and fruit salad. The flight back, a basket with christmas desserts, fish and noodles and an entree of canapes, champagne….and breakfast (quite late due delays) bacon and eggs, with mushroom, kiwi and pineapple and doughnut. Fully booked. While in Argentina I made to internal flights to Patagonia (Ushuaia) on the pic, where the airport is really wonderfull, surounded by mountains and to Iguazzu falls. Quite well mainteined, with nice interiors and great food in both flights. Hope you like it. My take off (obviously I didn´t took the pic and was my cousin) one internal fight, and after arriving to my plane.

Some good pics and also a good report. You’re like an old scrooge not appreciating the airline’s attempt at being Christmassy!! 😛
Good read none-the-less.

Great pictures there Keltic, the 747 is such a graceful aircraft. Thanx for posting a good read for us. 🙂

As far as the country is concerned, touristically, it´s great. I hadn´t been in Patagonia yet and despite staying there only for three days, I really enjoyed the landscape, like a explosion of nature. Iguazzu falls was just two days and the rest two days I was in Buenos Aires. The bad part was the decaying state of the country. So close to Spain and so distant in terms of standards of living.
