Ban became the most high-profile person to fall victim as the eruption of Chile's Puyehue volcano, high in the Andes, entered a second week, spewing ash that has disrupted air travel from South America to Australia.
In a bizarre coincidence US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had to cut short a trip to Africa on Monday to avoid another ash cloud from a separate volcanic eruption in Eritrea, a US official said.
Ban did not have time to change his arrangements after his flight was diverted to Cordoba and he had to slog it 700 kilometers (440 miles) overnight to Buenos Aires in a bus.
"He and his delegation went to the capital by bus through the night," said UN spokesman Martin Nesirky.
All ended well as Ban, who marked his 67th birthday on Monday, made it to the capital in time to meet Argentinian leaders and win their support for a second term as secretary-general.
"We are very happy to welcome him and to say to him that we support with joy his re-election at the head of the United Nations," said Argentine President Cristina Kirchner.
Buenos Aires airports suspended domestic and international flights on Sunday night for the third time in a week, prompting a crisis meeting Monday to assess the situation, the Argentine Civil Aviation Administration said.
"Meteorological conditions have worsened again, with forecasts that the cloud of volcanic ash will remain suspended in the area over the Ezeiza airport and the Jorge Newbery Metropolitan Airpark," the agency said.
At the Ezeiza international airport, an Ecuadorn tourist anxiously awaited a break in the dusk cloud to fly home for medical treatment.
"We're biting our nails, we're so anxious," she said.
Daniel Alegrin was stranded at the airport after flights to Alicante, Spain were delayed for a week.
"We come from Rosario (Argentina) and the (airline) refused to assume responsibility for our return home on grounds that it was a natural disaster," he said.
Montevideo's Carrasco international airport in neighboring Uruguay also suspended operations, with more than 70 flights cancelled, officials said.
Laura Vanoli, of Uruguay's Office of Meteorology, said the ash cloud was expected to remain over the country into Monday night.
"After that, the trend is toward an improvement of the situation," she said, adding however that "as long as the volcano is in eruption the cloud will come and go. We don't know how it will evolve."
The June 4 eruption has been hardest for tourist areas near the volcano like the alpine resort of Bariloche, whose airport has been closed for a week, and Villa Angostura, which is 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the volcano.
Strong winds have carried the ash cloud half way around the world, snarling travel as far away as Australia.
The Australian carrier Qantas said all flights in and out of the southern island of Tasmania and to New Zealand remained grounded Monday, but it lifted a ban on flights to and from the southern Australian city of Melbourne.
Hours after the airline began working through the backlog of thousands of passengers stranded in Melbourne, it cancelled several flights into Adelaide after the plume moved into South Australian airspace.
The ash has already forced the cancellation of several international flights from airports in Argentina and Uruguay, and Qantas said three international services to Buenos Aires and Los Angeles were also halted.
More than 110 Qantas flights were cancelled on Sunday and Monday, delaying at least 20,000 travellers while as many as 25,000 more passengers have been disrupted by Qantas's offshoot Jetstar suspending some flights.
The eruption in 2010 of an Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjoell, caused the biggest aerial shutdown in Europe since World War II, affecting more than 100,000 flights and eight million passengers.
Puyehue is located 870 kilometers (540 miles) south of the capital Santiago in the Cordon Caulle complex nestled in the Andes mountains.
The June 4 eruption sent columns of debris 10,000 meters (six miles) high , blanketing a picturesque region of mountains and lakes straddling the border between Chile and Argentina in a snowy white ash and prompting the evacuation of some 3,500 people.
Its last major eruption was in 1960, following a 9.5 magnitude earthquake -- the largest on record.
