Should I fly into Ezeiza (EZE) or Aeroparque (AEP)?

EZE for international + most foreign carriers. AEP (Jorge Newbery) for domestic + regional (Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay). AEP is in the centre of Buenos Aires (15 min from Recoleta); EZE is 32 km south. The two airports are 35 km apart with no direct rail — allow 90 min by taxi between them. Always confirm IATA code on your ticket.

How do I get from Ezeiza to central Buenos Aires?

Tienda León bus — ARS 9,500 (~USD 8), 40-60 min direct to Retiro station. Best option. Pre-paid official taxi at the airport USD 30-40 (avoid touts). Cabify or Uber USD 25-35 (Uber legal status is contested in Argentina — Cabify is the safer choice). Avoid private buses run by hotels (overpriced).

Which terminal does my airline use at Ezeiza?

Terminal A: Aerolíneas Argentinas (home) + LATAM + AF + KLM + Iberia + BA + Lufthansa + United + American + Delta + Copa + Qatar + Turkish + Air Europa + Avianca. Terminal B: LCC (JetSmart, Flybondi). Terminal C: small operations.

Can I leave Ezeiza during a layover?

Yes — Argentina offers visa-free entry to 80+ nationalities (US, UK, EU, Australia, Japan, Korea + most others). Take the Tienda León bus to Retiro (40-60 min). Allow 5 hours minimum round trip. Quick option: walk around Recoleta + Cementerio de la Recoleta (Eva Perón's grave) — 30 min walk from Retiro.

How early should I arrive at Ezeiza?

International: 3 hours. Domestic at AEP: 90 min. EZE international can have long security + immigration waits at peak (overnight Europe/USA departures). Aerolíneas Business + SkyTeam Elite Plus get fast track.
