What is CO doing for lounge access for BF passengers in EZE (Buenos Aires)? Whose lounge are they using? Is anyone familiar with the amenities/services--are there shower facilities? Is the lounge accessible by arriving passengers? Thanks.

Same question for me. I'll be making the trip in June.

I will be flying to EZE with UA in one week. However, I will check out if there is any CO or partner airline lounge access for BF pax. I hope to travel with CO down to EZE in the future. Maybe Aerolineas lounge access in EZE?

Thanks, kaboom36. I'm surprised that my questions haven't been answered; I suppose that very few FTers have done the EZE flight.

Was there in EZE earlier this month. As a platinum elite was given access to the lounge. The lounge is a shared lounge that is not run by any airline as such. It is in front of gate 2 in the international lounge once you get past the immigration folks.

Quite a spartan lounge with no fancy stuff.

Restrooms: There are seperate Mens and Womens restroom with no shower facility.

Internet access: 2 desktop computers with free internet access. There was also mention of free wireless internet access but did not have a laptop to check it out.

Couches: There are like 12-15 couches that are arranged in 3-4 groups. In one corner there is a conference room table that can handle another 4-6 folks.

Snacks & Drinks: Soft drinks, wine and beer. Snacks were some local packaged cakes and biscuits. Nothing that would fit a breakfast or lunch for me

Hotel facilities: Dont remember seeing an onsite hotel at the airport. The dining facilities in the airport are also nothing fancy. You need to get out of the airport for couple of miles to get decent accomodation.

Hope this helps. Let me know.

n EZE while checking through the business class as a platinum elite, I made it clear that I had no bags to check in nor needed anything more than the boarding pass. The person checking me in was making small talk about my visit to Argentina etc...Then a supervisor stepped in and mentioned to him that I was just an elite passenger and not a business class passenger. Hence not to waste time on niceties with me. (I swear this took place right in front of me.)

Prefer the honest approach of just being efficient in checking me in and getting me there on time, instead of all the fakeness.

It's a crowded, smokey, unappealing generic lounge. Nothing to get worked up about and you're probably better off just walking around or shopping in the public areas of the terminal.
