Aerolíneas Argentinas

Aerolíneas Argentinas calls its premium cabin Clase Club Cóndor. An iProfesional account of 10 August 2025 describes seats that become true flat beds, citing a 180-degree recline on aircraft such as the Airbus A330 and the Boeing 787. The same account places Premium Economy, not a business cabin, on the Boeing 737 fleet. The front room is therefore a long-haul condition, and the narrow-body fleet is offered something else. [1]

1 · POSITION

Aerolíneas Argentinas calls its premium cabin Clase Club Cóndor. An iProfesional account of 10 August 2025 describes seats that become true flat beds, citing a 180-degree recline on aircraft such as the Airbus A330 and the Boeing 787. The same account places Premium Economy, not a business cabin, on the Boeing 737 fleet. The front room is therefore a long-haul condition, and the narrow-body fleet is offered something else. [1]

2 · THE TABLE SET IN PORCELAIN

Service begins with a welcome drink and continues as a multi-course meal served on porcelain with metal cutlery. Argentine wines and sparkling wine accompany it, with unlimited snacks, coffee and a full breakfast before landing. A personal bag holds toothbrush and toothpaste, lip balm, hand cream, a sleep mask, socks and earplugs. Blankets and pillows are carried. The cabin is described through what is handed over rather than through what is built in. [1]

3 · THE SALÓN CÓNDOR AT EZEIZA

Business passengers reach the Salón Cóndor at Ezeiza, reported as a space of more than 1,000 square metres. It holds a buffet, a bar, coworking space, meeting rooms, massage chairs and showers, with Wi-Fi throughout. Ground handling runs under the SkyPriority heading: dedicated check-in counters, priority boarding and priority baggage delivery. The hours before departure are sold as part of the same purchase as the seat. [1]

4 · AN EARLIER CABIN OF THIRTY SEATS

The idea of selling space rather than seat count has a documented precedent here. The International Directory of Company Histories records that in 2003 an Executive Jet service was unveiled, using Boeing 737s modified to carry just 30 passengers in an extra level of comfort. The same reference dates the airline to 3 May 1949, when a government led by Juan Perón merged four joint-stock companies. A premium cabin is thus an old argument at this carrier, not a recent one.

5 · ⚑ CANDOUR

⚑ The airline’s own site could not be fetched for this entry, so the cabin, the table and the lounge above rest on a newspaper account of August 2025 rather than on Aerolíneas Argentinas describing itself. That account qualifies its 180-degree figure as relating to flights the airline has operated, so the present cabin is not established here. The thousand-square-metre lounge figure is the newspaper’s. The founding year is disputed between the two references cited, and this entry settles neither. [1–3]
