Priority airport services
 
Hello,

Soon I am flying from GRU to EZE with AC and I am wondering is there any priority at immigration and security checks at EZE airport for Business Class passengers? Are those privileges also accessible for Star Alliance Gold (Lufthansa Senator) traveling in Premium Economy?

Regards

You will have the same priority as someone sitting in row 215 of an A380. And that's the sad facts.

EZE is (sadly) a very rudimentary airport in may aspects... no such thing as priority lanes for premium pax. Yet another thing that we have to learn from proper airports in Asia and the Gulf.....

(sigh)

I always saw the lack of priority at immigration as a demonstration of egalitarianism/irreverence which is a very Argentinian feature (and one that I am actually quite proud of).

There is a VIP package, though, where you are escorted to a separate lounge area, and clear immigration and customs there. Last time I checked, unless you had some premium Argentinian credit cards the price was 250 USD and I honestly don't think it's worth it.

You can get priority if you use the VIPS Club , which is manged by Aeropuertos Argentina.

Also, since the e-gates for Argentinos opened (both for arrivals and departures), the lines have been much more manageable for "the rest of us."

95% of all the Argentine issued high-end cards that offered this have since axed the service. Having used it quite a few times back when it was first introduced, I agree that is was really nothing special with only the no hassle private immigration/customs being of relevance... perhaps some local celeb/sports star spotting if that was your thing - but nothing more.
