I departed EZE for the US last night (November 9).

It's obvious that tourist season is ramping up, and there are many inexperienced flyers at EZE. I breezed through security/check-in using the UA elite security line, but it took 15 minutes to pay the departure tax (at the upstairs booth), 20 minutes to get into the security-screening area, and a further 30 minutes to clear security and immigration.

Traffic on the autopista was heavy, but not stop and go, and no accidents, but even then it took 65 minutes to get to the airport from Palermo.

Note LH has reinstated their EZE-FRA service, with a 9:50 pm departure, adding another 747 load of passengers in the evening bank of departures.
