On December 19th we flew from Buenos Aires Newberry Airport, scheduled to leave at 3:55PM, to Ushuaia, Argentina on Aerolineas Argentinas Flight #1888. Due to Airport Air Traffic Controllers going on strike, the airport was filled to capacity and our flight ended up leaving around 5:15PM.


We landed an hour late in Ushuaia around 8:30PM.


We were transferred to the Canal Beagle Hotel by our Tour operator.
