Argentina has lifted its ban on direct flights from the UK, with services set to resume in December.
The Foreign Office confirmed the change in a travel advisory issued on Monday (1 November), which coincided with Argentina reopening to international travellers under strict conditions.
"Argentina has lifted the ban on direct flights to and from the UK," said the FCDO. "Direct flights between Argentina and the UK are scheduled to resume in December."
The FCDO added there were indirect flight options that could be used to connect with the UK, and advised anyone seeking to travel to check with their airline or travel company.
On Monday, Argentina’s borders reopened to travellers fully vaccinated against Covid-19, so long as they have completed their full course of a recognised vaccine at least 14 days prior to arrival.
They must be able to prove their full vaccination status via the Mi Argentina app or via a document issued by a national or state-level health authority, and sign an electronic declaration within 48 hours of travel.
They must also present evidence of a negative PCR test for Covid-19 taken up to 72 hours prior to departure, and must take a further PCR test five to seven days after their arrival.
Non-resident foreign nationals visiting Argentina have to have medical insurance with comprehensive cover for Covid-19, and must comply with "preventative measures" for 10 days starting from the time of their negative pre-travel PCR test result. These measures include not attending large gatherings or using public transport, unless they have express permission.
Non-resident foreign nationals who are not fully vaccinated against Covid-19 are not allowed to enter the country for tourism purposes, according to the FCDO.
