Not sure I'm posting correctly, but I have two options for flying through EZE (on way to Ushuaia): Delta (arriving 10 am, which gives us 3 hours to clear immigration & customs and re-check in) and American (arriving 9 am, with a 4 hour layover). Would prefer to do Delta but travel agent is advising American to give enough time. We're traveling business. Any advice appreciated.

I arrived at EZE 3 weeks ago, plane touched ground 8:49am and there were 4 other planes that arrived in the last 40 minutes (UX Madrid, UA HOU, AA MIA and DL ATL). I was expecting a big long line at Immigration... so I decided to deplane last and get some pic from the airplane cabin (my companion wanted a pic from the Captain seat). We finally deplane at 9:10 and took 5 min to the Immigration, then a 20 min wait time (long line but not bad at all), then collect our bags and we were out by 9:45am.

I arrived last week on (03 Sep) from DFW. Off the plane and through immigration very quickly. However, it took over one hour for the bags to show up, which was very disappointing.
