Arriving AR from the U.S. around 0500. Departing AR on a domestic segment (IGR) around 0800. Will I have access to the Centurion Lounge and does it open by 0600?
Thanks in advance - Jamie

That's because unlike the US, most of the south and central American Centurion Clubs are TRUE Centurion clubs. They have great food, drink and service for Centurion members, and they only let Platinum members access the outer areas which aren't so great. I wish the US clubs were anywhere near as good. I don't even know why they call them Centurion clubs rather than Platinum clubs?

You will be filtered directly to immigration and not have any access to the lounges. (They are only accessible to people cleared to leave Argentina or in int'l/int'l transit.) I've never flown domestic out of EZE but don't believe there are any lounges for domestic departures.

At EZE, terminals A, B, and C are connected airside, although the check in areas are distinct. It's really one building and you can walk, although it can be a long walk.
I don't know how the few domestic flights at EZE are handled. What I've observed is that it all seems international, with passport control and security before one can go airside. Upon arrival, you're funneled directly to immigration, bag claim, and customs (where all luggage is X-rayed). I've never seen any path upon arrival that could lead to lounges.

New American Express Centurion Lounge at EZE
From what I read, the Centurion lounge at eze has no showers. Is this right? Flying UA later this week and I believe they use this lounge for business class. From what I read, sounds like I could walk to the Star A lounge for a shower after clearing security. Is this possible? Thanks.

And they have showers in the *Alliance loumge as well (as the OP Poimts Out) They area with the bathrooms all lined up with one door next to one another is kind of an odd design, but findinding the shower room needs the attendant

Just to clarify something, the Centurion Lounge is past security as well. They have showers in the Centurion Room (for Centurion cardholders). Anyways, unless you have that card I'd stay at the Star Alliance Lounge. Lately they've been having a good selection of wines, hot snacks and not overcrowded.

The Centurion has been less crowded following the withdrawal of lounge priveliges for Arg Gold Card holders. Lounge priveliges are also to be withdrawn early next year for Arg Platinum holders.

Your location in your Flyertalk profile would match mine if I completed it fully. ^
