British Airways has announced plans to significantly increase services to South America with a daily direct flight to Buenos Aires. Commencing October 26 British Airways will up its Heathrow to Buenos Aires flights to a daily service from four per week and will start flying direct to Rio from Heathrow instead of via Sao Paulo, cutting some two hours off the flight time.

Argentina is located in the southern cone of South America, in an area of almost 3.8 million square kilometres and is located between latitude 22¨¬ and 55¨¬. Its length of 2,800 km makes it a vast land where you can find tropical altiplano weather in the north, low and grassy pampas in the centre of the country, a huge mesa in the middle of Patagonia, huge mountains on the west, and beaches and cliffs on the east side.
