Good points guys! Thanks a lot!
My travel insurance covers up to 1200 USD in missed connections, which means when I am not able to take a flight due to a delay in the feeder flight.
Anyways, I also checked Expertflyer and it seems like AR has an interline agreement with LH. Does that mean - even though I am on 2 separate tickets - I can interline from AR to LH all the way and do not leave the airport or does that only apply to flights booked on one ticket?

2. The fact that the two carriers have an interline ticketing agreement does mean that you could have purchased a single ticket at booking. In order to add a segment now, the issuing carrier would need to resissue the ticket and collect whatever penalties and fees there are and then reprice the entire route. That might be a great deal of money or very little. The fact that you have inflexible tickets likely bodes poorly, but it is certainly worth a call to the ticket issuer which might be the issuing carrier or your TA.

What you guys think about that plan? Checking through the bags is then also not a problem.

I would be shocked if you were able to successfully check a bag through from AR to LH on separate tickets.
BTW, remember that both Buenos Aires and Rio have both domestic and international airports, so if there are IROPs, you might be able to switch between airports (with a very expensive taxi ride).

Yes, I know that and there would be EZE - GIG flights after my planned AEP - GIG at 13:00. So in case I miss that, then the option left would be to get to EZE and fly from there to GIG or take the 6:40am the next day. Yet is a 2 hour layover between 2 AR flights - as mentioned below - ok and doable?
Thanks
