What do Argentine card rules mean for a flight to Miami?

A payment by Argentine card in foreign currency carries a 30% advance tax collection. The PAIS tax ended on December 23, 2024. The 30% collection under ARCA General Resolution 5617 stayed, and it covers international passenger transport bought by card.

In June 2026, El Cronista reported that ARCA still kept the 30% on tourism and other spending abroad. The amount can be credited against income tax or personal assets tax, or claimed back from January 1 of the next year.

A SatFares fare is in US dollars and paid from a crypto balance. Pay in stablecoins; local tax and exchange rules still apply. Argentine tax and exchange rules also apply to how you buy, hold and spend crypto. Paying in crypto may be a taxable event in your country. This is not tax advice; see flights from Argentina.

Is there real demand for crypto flights from Argentina?

Yes, by one measure. Argentina sends about 720 monthly searches for Travala, a crypto travel site, the same as the United Kingdom. This is an estimate from the seodata.dev keyword tool, dated October 12, 2026. Among Spanish-speaking countries, it is the largest source of that search.

Buenos Aires also has a visible crypto scene: BTC Map lists 86 places within 25 km of the centre, 16 of them verified since 2025.

What refund rights apply between Buenos Aires and Miami?

The US DOT refund rule, in both directions, because each flight touches the United States. It covers scheduled flights operated or marketed by airlines serving the country.

If the airline cancels, or changes the trip by 6 hours or more on an international itinerary, you can refuse the alternative. The refund is then due in the original form of payment, unless you accept another form (14 CFR 260.10).

At SatFares, an airline cancellation gives you the choice of a refund in USDT or USDC within 7 days, or a balance credit, as you choose. Your flight booking will be bound by the fare rules and Conditions of Carriage of the airline(s).

Which airlines fly Buenos Aires to Miami?

In our latest market fare survey, the airlines observed for Buenos Aires to Miami included LATAM, Arajet, Copa Airlines, Avianca, Aerolíneas Argentinas. On October 12, 2026, for a departure on November 11, only Aerolíneas Argentinas flew non-stop from Ezeiza. LATAM connected through Lima or Santiago, and Copa Airlines through Panama City. Avianca connected through Bogotá, and Arajet through Punta Cana.

Sanctioned airlines are left out of the survey, and so are itineraries with a stop in the United Kingdom or a sanctioned country. These are market fares, not our selling price: the live price at checkout may differ.

Miami International's August 2026 fact sheet gives the general picture: 92 airlines and 20 non-stop passenger destinations in South America. Schedules and fares change, so the live search shows the airlines, stops and total for your dates.

What data does the airline need for a flight to Miami?

Each traveller's full name as in the passport, date of birth and gender, required by the US Secure Flight program. Passport details also go to US border authorities before an international flight lands.

We pass these data to the airline only. No ID upload, no selfie at checkout. Airline ID rules still apply. Entry rules for the United States depend on your nationality: check them with the US Department of State or a US consulate. We do not give visa advice.

Can I use crypto in Miami after I land?

At some places, yes. Miami has 142 places on BTC Map within 25 km of the centre (October 12, 2026). That is the highest count of the 30 destinations on our list. We sell the ticket; paying on the spot is another matter. Argentina is also a trade partner of Miami airport: $3.38 billion of trade by value in 2025. See flights to Miami.
