arrive EZE about 8am, departing about 8pm SAME DATE
I searched and will possibly take tiendaleon bus to town just to walk around and have lunch before heading back to airport, my question is:
Since I will do some shopping in Tokyo, I am afraid if EZE custom will consider that I am bring good to the country, is anyway that my luggage can checked through, say: NRT-LAX-JFK-EZE-MIA-DFW-HKG? I am ok to pay $18 exit tax for the day-trip to city and I don't need to pay the "US$1xx entry fee". I just want a way my checked luggage to skip through custom in EZE to avoid possible issues. (Turn around like this is understandable in FTers but sounds very suspicious for custom officials)
As a side note: I visited BA ten years ago (day trip) and toured the Opera House and nearby area, given I want to take airport shuttle (e.g. TiendaLeon), where should I go?
Many thanks to all!
My suggestion would be to spend some time around the port, which is walkable from the bus. There's a very good new private museum of contemporary art as well as some nice places for lunch.
Another idea is to take a taxi to the Evita museum, visit the cemetery, and generally walk around Recolta where there are also good places for lunch. [Check this year's COW DO thread in CommunityBuzz for restaurant names and addresses from the first and last lunch. There's also a famous dead cow place in the neighborhood, IIRC one of the El Dorado branches but it doesn't take reservations.]
If you return to the airport with extra time, walk airside to the new C terminal and go to the new AmEx Centurion lounge (free for AmEx Plat and Centurion cards, accessible for a fee with other AmEx cards). it's nice.
