United : As per checking here, the Check in counter in Buenos Aires opens at 8:00AM.
Me: so i can check in for my flight departing at 10:05pm starting at 8am? are you sure? United has a single flight out of EZE to IAH daily at 10:05pm the day I am traveling and the counter opens at 8am ? It sounds not correct - can you please verify
Yeah, doubt the UA check-in (contract) staff would be around that early. Plan UA check-in desk to open around 6 or 7pm local time.

United website lists the minimum time for checkin for different airports. But OP was looking for the maximum time.
Yeah, a lot of US-inbound INTL flights I have been unable to even get an electronic boarding pass, in part, I believe, due to the need for docs check, local regulations, and screening interviews.
I have had my shares of flights to/from South America leaving around midnight, even with 4pm late checkout from accommodation, there would still be a lot of time to kill.
Nice you got in on the HGH fare!
