I'm not going by train... I'm going by plane

Both my current and previous jobs have allowed me to travel a lot around the country and Latin America in general.

Normally, depending on the airport, the security controls when boarding the plane are more or less demanding, but there are always a minimum of controls that we must go through, such as those related to the identification of the passenger and hand luggage (lest we hijack the plane).

... Both my current and previous jobs have allowed me to travel a lot around the country and Latin America in general.

Normally, depending on the airport, the security controls when boarding the plane are more or less demanding, but there are always a minimum of controls that we must go through, such as those related to the identification of the passenger and hand luggage (lest we hijack the plane).

In an era of continuous cabotage trips, I was surprised more than once that when I went to AEP and registered, I was given both the Round Trip and Return ticket (currently it is still happening). However, the first time I received it I took it as something natural since I assumed that also when I presented myself to the airport for my return, they would ask me for my ID to identify me. To my surprise, I was never asked, and I remember that day I directly entered the exit door of the plane.

Paying attention to every detail of the process, and waiting so much that at the time of delivering the ticket they will go through a barcode scanner to verify whether or not it was the correct ticket, and that they ask me for the DNI to verify if I was the correct passenger, I got a second surprise: They did not do it, they just trimmed the boarding pass, stacked it and gave me the heel.

I remember that trip back home I couldn't sleep thinking about what I had experienced, something in the process was definitely failing... but will it be so so?

  1. Will I really be able to travel for free?
  2. Is it possible that the trip of Ida is done by one person and the return one by a different one?
That's how it all started. Seeing that flight after flight to the interior with the same airline (which, by the way, at that time suffered many internal conflicts), I decided to try it for myself with the webcheck-in.
