Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires.

Ezeiza International Airport is the main Airport in Argentina. Many International flights land here before flying to other parts of the country. It is situated 35 km from Buenos Aires City. The airport has currently two terminals: A and B. They are walking distance from each other. If you are using a transfer company or taxi, they will ask you with which Airline you fly and drop you off at the correct Terminal.

Parking space and Car Hire at Ezeiza International Airport.

The airport has parking spaces available in a multi-story covered parking garage and an open-air parking lot, next to Terminal A. There is no distinction between long- and short-term parking at the airport. Spaces are subject to availability and reservations cannot be made. Please note that parking is very expensive.

There are four car hire companies at the airport: Alamo, Avis, Hertz, and Localiza, located at the Terminal A Arrivals. You can also book a taxi at the airport or use Manuel Tienda Leon. Manuel Tienda Leon is a very good alternative transfer company and one we always use. They are cheaper if you are traveling alone and is my preferred choice when traveling to and from Ezeiza.

Navigating Ezeiza International Airport.

Ezeiza International Airport is a large airport.  What I like about the airport is the layout. It is not difficult to find what you are looking for, example check-ins, arrivals and departures. The airport is marked clearly and you have Information centers everywhere where you can make inquiries. There are also a lot of officials on duty.

The check-in counters are on the bottom floor and on the left wing of the building. Big notice boards will indicate at which counter you need to check-in. The boarding area is on the top floor. You pass through security with your boarding pass and then you proceed to immigration.

There are various restaurants and coffee shops where you can drink or eat something while you wait for your flight. I find it strange that there are not enough places for people to sit. I would have expected more from such a big airport.

Wi-Fi at Ezeiza International Airport.

Ezeiza Airport has undergone a lot of changes over the last year (2018) and free Wi-Fi is now available at the boarding gates. They also have comfortable seating areas where you can charge your electronic devices. We did not stay long enough at the check-in counters and did not try the Wi-Fi on the ground level. McDonald’s offers free Wi-Fi if you are stuck without it.
