 | Buenos Aires Flights and Airline Tips | 1 - 10 of 33 |  | Ezeiza is smaller than i could imagine before ...there are several small terminal ...after my plane landed at 2355h we spent some time on the customs where you need the stamp and show the paper writted before in the plane for non nationals where you have to describe how many days will you be there, and where will you go in Argentina... stupid bureaucracy inspired by stupid rules ...well the customs are so bored and you will waste quite enough time just for a bloddy stamp.... After the baggage claim process there is the main hall .... PAY SO MUCH ATTENTION TO THIS...never never never take any cab on the street in front of the arrivals hall....there is a stall just in the middle where you can see fares to Capital or surroundings ...they will type your name and where you go and the driver after some minutes will come to u and ask for ur ticket (you pay there, not to the driver) and he carry u wherever u need or u ask for ... its a great deal Its reallly DANGEROUS to take a cab outside in the airport and more dangerous at night !! The main reason u dont have to pay them inside the cab is dued so many harms at hand driving in Buenos Aires main city and surroundings Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

I flew from Barcelona through Madrid To Ezeiza also known as Ministro Pistarini after 13 or 14 hours flying... the flight was in a jumbo aircraft and the service into was excellent ...i can say that Aerolineas has a great catter to the passengers into the planes..maybe its not the best on the airports because there are a several strikes every year and you never know beforehand if your plane will take off on time or will be delay Barajas was a chaos.....so long corridors and at all well designed and sometimes lost in those long halls and corridors walking astrayed by there...a real mess Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

I had pre-booked our international flights to Argentina some months before. Checking various deals on the internet, I eventually settled on 'airfareplanet.com' and their US$900 per person round trip tickets via Delta Airlines. A short 3-hour drive over the border into Maine, USA allowed us to depart from Bangor. From there, it was short hops to Cincinnati and Atlanta before the 9.5 hour overnight flight direct to Buenos Aires on a Boeing 767. The customs and immigration formalities at the International Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional Ministro Pistarini), referred to as 'Ezeirza', were quick and efficient. Luggage was soon delivered and we were on our way into Buenos Aires on a beautiful, sunny morning (after dodging waves of blizzards in both Canada and USA)! One thing we noticed in both directions, was the elderly age of the passengers in the departure lounge. This seems to be a popular destination for people taking the whole tour package, including the exotic cruises to the tip of South America or Antarctica. We actually had quite an entertaining conversation with a group of American seniors while waiting for our return flight. Many of these guys had served in the US military and were very familiar with New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland on Canada's east coast as a result of American military bases set up during WW2 ! I did not take any photos during our long-haul travels, so you will have to settle for this one as we left Buenos Aires on an internal flight and were only moments from landing at Puerto Iguazu, near Iguazu Falls.

Located on the banks of the Rio de la Plata, and within the city limits, is Aeroparque Jorge Newbery. This serves as the hub for local flights, so we got to know it well due to our two internal excursions to Iguazu Falls and then the Andes Mountains. We found it to be a nice airport, smoothly functioning and the the flights by Aerolineas Argentinas actually operated almost on schedule! The taxi ride here from our hotel cost A$11 (US$3.50), so no complaints about access! The only serious problem that we had on our four individual internal flights was AA losing both of our suitcases here when we were in transit from Puerto Iguazu to Mendoza (almost all internal flights pass through BA instead of flying directly from one city to another). They managed to return them to us a day later, so no damage done! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

The Ezeiza International Airport is located 34 kilometers (21 miles) outside of the city, but is easily accessible by a great highway system. Once inside, there are numerous shops, cafes and excellent public facilities. You can take a shuttle or a cab into town. I arrived very late at night and there was no traffic into town so my cabbie drove about 120 kilometer per hour and got me to my hotel really fast. You can arrange for a Radio Taxi (safest, but not the cheapest) from the airport at booths inside the terminal. It's easy, because you pre-pay and can use a credit card, but you'll probably end up paying too much. The Radio cabs were charging around 45-48 pesos, while I paid 28 with a local cab.

This fairly small airport is almost always your gateway into Buenos Aires. It is located a bit out of town and will take around 30 minutes to get into town. Best option if you are alone is to take the bus into town however with as little as two people you will find a taxi to be the best choice both money wise and also time.

There are two airports in Buenos Aires so make sure you know which one you are flying in and out of. The international airport Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE) is 26 miles outside of Buenos Aires, allow 45 minutes to an hour to get to/from the airport. We flew United Airlines direct back to Chicago out of this airport, be sure to also allow plenty of time to get through the line at the airport. Also, there is a departure tax that has to be paid at the airport, we paid $18 US per person and airport personnel said it is currently never added to anyone's tickets. We were upgraded to Economy Plus both coming and going, Friendly Skies indeed! The other airport for domestic flights and flights to Uruaguay, Jorge Newbery Airport, is very close to the city right along the River, I was amazed at how fast we got to our hotel, only around 15 minutes. Very easy to get through, of course, we didn't have to clear customs here. There is an ATM in the airport which dispensed both pesos and USD. We had drivers included in our package but I've read that you should use radio taxis to and from the airport, slightly more expensive but reliable and less of a chance of getting ripped off.

Most international flights to Buenos Aires arrive to EZEIZA Airport, south of the city. It takes at least an hour to get to the center and you can either take a taxi or bus service. Just leaving the baggage claim area you will see the tourist agencies offering you transport, hotels and usual trips too. The transportation company I used was Manuel Tienda Leon. They are totally professional and I'm sure you won't have any problems with them. Theme: Airplane

I was among the first able-bodied and unencumbered people to board Aerolineas Argentinas 1257. There weren't enough people on this flight to start a fight. Even counting the crew, if there were 25 people total aboard this flight, I'll eat airline food (economy class) for a year. I settled into seat 22-C and we pulled out spot on at 7.45 p.m. with the usual safety lecture. Wheels left Brazilian soil at 7.57 p.m. The absolute dearth of humanity made it look like I could get a modicum of sleep after the supper trolley rolled through on this comparatively short flight. I tried to lift the armrests but they wouldn't go up. I checked to see if that were true in all rows. I went two rows behind me and the armrests did go up. Life was good. We made our climb, but the meal trolley hadn't rolled through. I saw them load the food aboard the aircraft in one of those high lift trucks. A stewardess told me that turbulence delayed meal service. This is the first airline I had ever flown where mild turbulence delayed meal service. Ridiculous! I have seen crews on all other airlines, even Varig, serve COFFEE in worse turbulence than this. They finally turned off the "fasten seatbelt" sign and started rolling the trolley through. I don't know why they even worried with the trolley. With the sparse cabin, they would have done it just as fast handing out the meals two by two. The plane started to shake a little as the trolley was rolling. I was afraid they would park it again and never get to 24-C. When it finally got there, the meal was pretty barren- spinach canalones with marinara sauce, a ham and cheese platter with potato salad garnished with a lime, a hard roll, and some chocolate cake. I wanted Guaraná, but they didn't have any, so I settled for water instead. Oh well, this was only a 3-hour flight. Wheels hit Argentine soil at 21.45. We parked in the middle of the tarmac and boarded a shuttle bus that took us to terminal B. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes, Brazil's low-cost airline, began operating direct flights between Southern Brazil and Buenos Aires about three years ago. It was GOL's first international destination and has been since then very successful. Today the company offer flights to Buenos Aires from most of Brazilian states. I made it to Buenos Aires from Curitiba (South of Brazil) and later came back to continue my trip to the North of Brazil. After browsing various airline sites (TAM, Varig and Aerolineas Argentinas also have flights between Brazilian cities and Buenos Aires) I found it the best option. And as soon as you book, the cheaper it usually gets. I booked my flight some three months in advance and payed about 250 euros (return). All the flights are to Buenos Aires' International Airport Ezeiza and they usually have connection in Assuncion (Paraguay) or Sao Paulo.
