Aerolineas Argentinas added a new flight from Rosario to Rio de janeiro for the summer season. With very good occupation the flight will continue twice a week for the rest of the year. AR offers better fares tha GOL operating the same route.
Note the new terminal almost finished. It will include 2 fingers.
Not much people at the AR counters

Final into GIG
Landed into GIG with a LATAM neighbor.
Woah what a cool report Fernando with some beautiful views on departure (I love when the clouds looks like that).
Minus the IFE aspect, seems like a very pleasant experience overall. Could be wrong, but last time I flew LATAM on a 3 hour route all we got was a couple of snacks so nice to see that a ham and cheese sandwich is offered.
Thanks for sharing!
