EZE connection time
Hi!
My flight from Frankfurt should land at 06:25 and I was wondering if can make it to a flight to Ushuaia that leave at 9:50. I've baggage to claim and drop and also passport control.
Is it too tight or should be enough? My other option is to take a flight from AEP airport later but i rather not do that,
Thanks!

Fine
3.5 hours to transfer is more than enough time. The foreigner immigration line can take time (Ive done 1 hour waits a few times, also 5-10 mins many times) but thats usually a little later in the morning (8-10am arrivals from USA) and getting bags and customs is like a couple mins at most. Not worth the transfer to AEP, its a long drive (45 mins or more depending traffic), unless you have a crazy hours long delayed flight you should be fine.

If this is all on one ticket with the domestic leg on AR, I wouldn't be terribly worried about it. In the worst case, if you land in EZE too late to make your flight, AR can put you on another flight - they have a few. In the worst worst case, you might have to make it to AEP on your own, but that's not a huge problem if you have a few hours between flights.
I definitely would NOT do this if your flight to USH is on a separate ticket, particularly if it's with one of the low-cost carriers. It's not unheard of for airlines in Argentina to suddenly move their flight departure times up by a few hours. I personally wouldn't risk it.

Hi! I'm using this one here for my question as it is pretty similar, hope you can help :-)
Landing in EZE at 07:55 am on LH510 in C. Would like to book a seperate ticket from EZE to USH on AR1884 in Eco, departing 09:50 am. LH510 on time performance seems ok, just once 30 minutes late in the last 10 days, rest was between 07:40 and 07:55. I do NOT have to clear baggage and recheck, just hand luggage. Will I make it to my domestic AR flight at 09:50? My research so far showed that there is no airside transit, so everybody needs to go through immigration in EZE? Thank you for your help :-)
(Alternative would be AR1888 at 11:55 from AEP. I guess this should be ok even with the conncection from EZE to AEP...?)
