I had an extremely negative experience during boarding on my flight from Miami to Buenos Aires with Aerolíneas Argentinas on January 17 at 5:25 p.m., which completely compromised the beginning of my trip.My name was called over the airport loudspeaker, and when I went to the boarding gate, a staff member — an elderly woman — began to demand, in an authoritarian and rude manner, that I present a return ticket from Buenos Aires to the United States.I explained repeatedly that I did not have such a ticket, as my itinerary was the following: I traveled from Buenos Aires to Brazil, stayed in Brazil for a few days, and only afterward traveled from Brazil to the United States — something absolutely common, legal, and regular.The staff member did not allow me to explain, constantly interrupted my attempts to clarify the situation, and maintained a rigid, imposing, and humiliating attitude, including raising her voice in public. At no point was there any listening, empathy, or respectful treatment.Only after she requested my Argentine DNI, which I promptly presented, was the situation resolved and boarding authorized — clearly demonstrating that the previous demand was unnecessary from the beginning.Although boarding was ultimately allowed, the public embarrassment, aggressive tone, and lack of courtesy completely ruined the start of my trip. I boarded the flight stressed, upset, and regretting having chosen this airline.When we purchase an airline ticket, we expect the minimum: respect and courtesy. Unfortunately, that did not happen.I am sharing this account publicly so that other passengers are aware that this type of treatment can occur during boarding with Aerolíneas Argentinas.
