My partner and I are heading to Buenos Aires 03/Julio for ~10 days. flying VARIG from JFK, connecting in GRU, and arriving EZE at 1025 (booked as a US Airways *Alliance C award so can't complain about the routing)...
We'd like to head up to Iguazu for a couple of days and, for convenience, are considering doing it first thing the Sunday we arrive. The best possible (and latest) flight departs AEP at 1405, or approximately 3-1/2 hours after our arrival in EZE. Do you think that's enough time to clear immigration at EZE, transfer to AEP and check-in for the "vuelo de cabotaje" (domestic flight)? My gut tells me this is too tight a connection, in which case we'll make the trip later during our stay. Any thoughts?
PD: Gracias por esta discusión... aún estamos planeando nuestro viaje a la Argentina y la información aquí nos está ayudando bastante... Por lo que veo, vamos a tener unas vacaciones estupendas.
Arrzzee-- Sorry for the delay but Ive been away from FT for a couple of days. You are fine with your transit time, you should be able to make it to AEP with no problems at all. I suggest you just take a care from EZE, perhaps Manuel Tienda Leon or another of the authorized car service companies (use the booths that are right there as you exit customs) and you will be fine.
Have a great trip and thank you for visiting Argentina!!!!
