Travel to Trelew. Wow, what a problem. First the airline calls us as we are about to walk to breakfast to tell us that our flight to Buenos Aires this afternoon has been cancelled and the replacement flight will get in too late to get us to Trelew. Norm then told the representative that he expected to be put up in a hotel by the airline because the change was theirs and we had no advance notice. After a long time on hold and her speaking to her supervisors, she told us that we would be transported and put up in a hotel at the expense of the airline. We then went to the lobby to make new airport transport arrangements and then came back to contact the tour company to re- arrange our transports and hotel. As soon as we finished that call, the airline called again to say that they had found a way to get us to Buenos Aires earlier and would hold the plane to Trelew for 30 minutes so we could make the connection. I guess they really did not want to pay for a hotel room. They made all of the other passengers wait 30 minutes just so we could connect. The transfer worked great and we finally made it to Trelew late this evening
