UA to LAN at EZE

Hi All - I read some of the prior posts on this topic and I'm a bit dense so I'm still confused.

I'll be arriving in EZE on UA and then have a 3hour layover before my connection on LAN to SCL.

1. It sounds like I can stay Airside
2. It sounds like I may be able to avoid immigration and customs
3. It sounds like I need to find a way to print out my boarding pass on Lan.com prior to arriving in EZE

Is that all accurate? Also, does anyone know if UA will agree to interline my bag all the way through? I'm actually doing LAX-IAD-EZE-SCL

Thanks!

If for some reason you can't print your BP in advance, find a gate that has a Lan flight departing and ask for help. (I don't think they have a dedicated service counter there). If you have any access to the AA lounge (OW status, flying LA in J), go in there for assistance. The airport is pathetic. If you don't have RCC access (or if it is closed) you may want to consider a day pass for the AA AC. It is nothing special at all, nor are there any showers, but the terminal is a dump.

(After posting, I see you are a 1K) - ok, the RCC has limited hours - go in there if open, and as a 1K, maybe a nice agent (they are usually quite nice in there) might be able to help you track someone down to check in for the LAN flight, and you'll have a place to camp out for awhile.

Thanks everyone for the quick feedback. I was there last year and have no recollection whatsoever of the arrival process. I think I was a bit excited to notice and also somewhat sleepy from traveling for so long to get there.

I recall departing and being very crowded in the shared RCC at night.

If I can't print out my pass, I'll try to round up someone somewhere airside.

Thanks again!
