In all my years of flying this was new to me. An int'l airport like EZE and a airline like LAN, and they are closed until 16:00? We used the down time to get a sandwich and a drink. Once we went through LAN biz class check in, paid our $18USD dept tax, we were through security and in the air side VIP lounge in about 30 minutes. I guess we hit the airport at just the right time. No lines any where to speak of.
Lan has a big gap of time w/no flights, and I've left on the same/similar flight a few times (and arrived before check-in opens). It is a great time to deal w/EZE. I'll be on it again in under 2 weeks.
