In October 2026, Buenos Aires launched the ‘Stopover Buenos Aires’ initiative, a collaboration between Visit Buenos Aires and Aerolíneas Argentinas. The program encourages transit passengers arriving from outside Argentina to extend their stays by 24, 48, or 72 hours, offering benefits in accommodation, gastronomy, and cultural activities.

Concurrently, airports across Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia have been expanding passenger rest amenities. In Argentina, the My Pod Boutique Capsule was introduced at Ezeiza International Airport. Similar expansions include various Dragonpass facilities in Brazil and the introduction of sleep capsules at Bogotá’s El Dorado International Airport in Colombia, which offers both individual and double cabins for hourly use.
