Currently No Priority Pass Lounge @ EZE

There were two for ages, the UA RCC and the Sala de las Americas. Both have closed. The new AR lounge served as the PP lounge for a bit, but (since I don´t know when), it left the program. There is a sign on the door that ´ya no aceptamos Priority Pass´and the PP website has nothing for Argentina.

For better or worse, for richer or mostly poorer, it does seem to be.

Haven't been back to EZE in 10 months, but sad to hear the RCC closed. Been going there for many years, most recently in December '12 when my flight was canceled and we had a 50 hour ordeal, including many hours lounging in the RCC. :-(

Heading back down to EZE later today, guess there is no special treatment this time, so will spend more time browsing duty free with those blue dollar pesos..

There's a large new *A lounge, if you otherwise had RCC access.

Priority Pass has just announced that the Star Alliance lounge is a member of PP.

Where is this lounge located?

Looks like DL now uses terminal C for departures?

I'm not quite sure what is B and what is C. It is rather confusing during the construction. I believe that B (as an actual terminal check-in point) doesn't exist, but C check in and A check in (for int'l departures) end up in an airside-connected area which contains the decrepit A gates and the modern B gates (with no letter designation along with the gate #). The AR lounge (Skyteam, which would be used by DL) is further down the same pier (near approx. gate 16) as gate 9, so if you have access to one, you have access to the other.

Last week DL's ATL flight was leaving from Terminal B, Gate 9 - right below the LAN/* lounges.

Was just in the Star Alliance lounge at EZE. It was by Gate 9 but down the hall from the LAN lounge. As we entered the "dragon" asked if we were Priority Pass. I said that we weren't, merely Star Alliance. Lounge ok, wine just fine, food not so great. I assume that the Priority Pass people can go here.

During the last year, DL check in counters moved from A to C. If you enter the airport at C, the AR lounge is not so far and also is pretty close to the gate DL uses.

However, all of the airport is connected airside, so after check in, passport control, etc. you can use whatever lounge admits you, although you do need to be aware that it can then be a long walk to your gate.

Priority Pass now nearly worthless for USA-time departures:

Star Alliance Lounge Buenos Aires
Opening Hours
23:00 – 15:00 daily. Cardholders will not be admitted into the lounge outside these hours.

That's weird, since Turkish Airlines flight departs at 23.55... gate time is at around 23.20.. they only let their business class passengers use the lounge for 20 minutes?
