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.

 The Rio Parana, near Puerto
Iguazu by Bwana_Brown
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. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 Boeing 737s Ready for Take-off
Within the City by Bwana_Brown
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

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. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

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

Ezezia is the international airport in Buenos Aires and if you are arriving/departing on an international flight you will be transiting through here.
The airport is quite small for an international airport and there seems to be some on going construction, but I found it to be quite efficient as we actually breezed through customs on our arrival.
They have a pretty small duty free area where you can make last minute purchases, especially for their delicious wine as well as a VAT booth and the Departure tax booth.
My choice of airlines is American Airlines which has 2 daily non-stop service from JFK to EZE (incidently, only an hour apart from each other). The flight is a grueling 12 hour flight especially if you are flying in coach, but the flights are both evening flights, which makes it a bit easier on the body. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

A very nice and clean airport, this was our gateway to Iguazu. We arrived for an early flight on LAN to the falls and we didn't wait too long at the check in counter. The agent was quite nice letting us know that our flight number and time had changed slightly, but that we were confirmed on the flight. He also tried to get us on an later flight from Iguazu Falls back to Buenos Aires, but said that the later flight would be too short of a connection time and he didn't recommend it, I am glad we listened to him for upon our return, the airport was packed and we got stuck in horrible traffic from this airport to Ezezia.
The airport had a few places to grab something to eat, a few duty free shops and security was a breeze.
The airport is much closer than Ezezia, about 15 minutes from the city center. Leave a Comment
