Aerolíneas Plus - Aerolineas Argentinas' Frequent Flyer Program

Aerolineas Plus is the carrier’s frequent flyer program; members earn miles on Aerolineas flights and with participating partner airlines and non-airline partners, and those miles can be redeemed for award travel, upgrades and other redemptions depending on availability. The program integrates with SkyTeam partners for earning and redeeming on alliance flights, which increases award access across partner networks. Aerolineas Plus is generally worth crediting to if you fly Aerolineas regularly or value SkyTeam award and status benefits, though casual flyers should compare earning and redemption options if they also fly other alliance carriers frequently.

Tips for Flying Aerolineas Argentinas

  • Use Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP) for many domestic and regional flights when you want a short transfer to central Buenos Aires, and expect international flights to depart from Ezeiza (EZE).
  • Check fare rules carefully at booking because seat selection, checked-baggage allowance and change/refund conditions vary by fare class and route.
  • Credit flights to Aerolíneas Plus if you plan to fly Aerolíneas frequently or want access to SkyTeam award availability and elite benefits.
  • Bring extra time when connecting between AEP and EZE since transfers between the two airports can take significantly longer than intra-city transfers.
