Argentina is huge—flying saves time but buses are comfortable and cheap. Long-distance buses have reclining seats (cama suites = 180° beds!) from $50-120. JetSMART and Flybondi offer budget flights from $110. Trains slow and limited—buses faster. Book buses at Retiro station in Buenos Aires or online. Flights essential for Patagonia.
