Frequently Asked Questions
The transfer from hotels in downtown El Calafate to Comandante Armando Tola International Airport (FTE) usually takes 20-30 minutes under normal conditions. During peak season or with Patagonian weather (wind, snow), it can take 40-50 minutes. To ensure a stress-free boarding process, we recommend scheduling your pickup at least 2 hours and 30 minutes before your flight's departure. For shared shuttle services, the pickup window may be 10-20 minutes. We will send you the exact departure time and the meeting point in the hotel lobby via email or WhatsApp the day before. We monitor flight status to adjust our schedule accordingly.

All vehicles are equipped with heating, a spacious trunk, and are regularly maintained, making them ideal for travel in Patagonia. Extensive detours are not made unless arranged in advance.
