I know from reading here that it's important to get to EZE at least 3 or 4 hours early. I also know that there are no good places to eat there. Some people have suggested that if you get to EZE before the evening rush that it's not too painful getting through security.

Is it worth it to go early, have dinner at the airport and just sit at the lounge? Or would you recommend having one last nice dinner in BA, maybe around 6pm, then heading to the airport around 7pm or so? Is the food at EZE so terrible? UA might serve food on my flight, but since it's so late, I think I'll just go to sleep as soon as I can.
