An update on the situation at EZE

I flew out of EZE for the US last night (Feb 9). Although I had no wait for security questioning (using the UA Elite line), and check in, the ecomony class lines were horrendously long.

Tax payment only took 5 minutes at the upstairs booth, but it took over an hour to get through security and immigration - most of that time was waiting to get in to the screening area. There were only two WTMDs open and a lot of inexperienced travellers it seems ...

I counted about 12 international departures scheduled for 9-10:30 pm, and the airport security screening was clearly overtaxed. There were many people asking to cut in line to be able to get to their flights, along with crew members trying to weave there way through the masses of passengers queueing up before the security screening.

So be warned!
