==Air==
You can find a lot of information about Argentina's Airports (and flights) at [http://www.aa2000.com.ar AeropuertosArgentina].

=== Domestic Flights ===
Airports
* Buenos Aires Domestic airport is Aeroparque (AEP).
* Mar del Plata's airport (MDQ)

Domestic companies :
* Sol Líneas Aéreas ''SOL'', low cost company ([http://www.sol.com.ar homepage] ; [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol_L%C3%ADneas_A%C3%A9reas wikipedia]) (~515pesos ~115EUR for AEP-MDQ-AEP).
* Aerolíneas Argentinas ([http://www.aerolineas.com.ar/ homepage] ; [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerol%C3%ADneas_Argentinas wikipedia]) (~139EUR for AEP-MDQ-AEP).
* Andes
* Austral
* Lade
* Lan Argentina


=== Whole world ===
Mar del Plata's airport (MDQ) doesn't seems to be an International airport, which means you'll have land at Buenos Aires airport : ''Ministro _Pistarini_ International Airport'', '''EZE''' (''Ezeiza'' is near Buenos Aires).

You can then travel from Buenos Aires to Mar del Plata by Train, (Bus ?), or plane (see Domestic flights above). 

An overview of the companies going to EZE can be fount on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministro_Pistarini_International_Airport#Terminals_and_destinations wikipedia] page.

There are many flight search engines,  http://www.sidestep.com/ is for example good service.


=== Europe ===
* Some people don't recommend going through Madrid because of frequent and long delay during transit (which means you might want to avoid the companies Iberia, Air Europa and Aerolíneas Argentinas) YMMV

* Varig is supposed to have fairly good rates, usually. 

* Lufthansa has a direct flight from their Frankfurt hub to EZE; at Lufthansa prices, though.

====France====
* Varig is supposed to have fairly good rates, usually. 
* Air France is have some direct flights PAR-BUE (~13hours), and ''fairly'' good price if you reserve in advance (it might already be too late).
* Alitalia via Rome might be a good option
* British Airways will get you to transit in London, that trip is likely to be much longer.

* Conseils aux voyageurs (Ministère des Affaires étrangères) ([http://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/conseils-aux-voyageurs_909/pays_12191/argentine_12200/index.html go]) : ''...Le voyageur de nationalité française doit présenter un passeport en cours de validité à son arrivée sur le territoire argentin pour y séjourner moins de 3 mois...''
