About Our Buenos Aires Ezeiza Airport (EZE) Guide

Updated: July 20, 2026

Who runs this Ezeiza (EZE) guide?

This site is an independent, non-official guide to a single airport: Ministro Pistarini International (IATA code EZE), the Buenos Aires gateway 22 km from the city that nearly everyone calls Ezeiza. A small editorial team researches and writes it for passengers, not for the airport's operations desk. We are not connected to Aeropuertos Argentina 2000, the company that has run the airport since 1998, nor to Aerolíneas Argentinas or any other carrier or transfer firm. Our only job is to answer the questions travellers actually ask before they fly through EZE.

The airport's official channels handle flights and facilities well. They spend less time on the practical worries of a first-time visitor: which terminal a flight leaves from, what a fair taxi fare into the city looks like, whether to carry dollars or pesos, and how long immigration runs after a red-eye arrival. That gap is the reason this site exists.

Why a whole site about one airport?

Ezeiza is Argentina's main international gateway, and for most overseas visitors it is the first and last thing they see of the country. It trips people up in predictable ways.

The first confusion is which airport you even want. Buenos Aires has two. Ezeiza (EZE) takes almost all international flights; Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP) is the small city airport that handles mostly domestic and regional routes. Book or land at the wrong one and you lose an hour crossing town. From there the questions pile up: Terminal A or Terminal C, an official airport taxi versus a booked transfer, the bus that costs a fraction but takes ninety minutes, and a currency situation that makes paying for any of it more fiddly than it should be.

Rather than flatten all of that into one page, we cover each decision on its own: the terminal layout, the routes into the city, how to pay in Argentina without losing money, and what to expect at passport control.

What makes this different from the airport's own site?

The official site is built around the airport as a place to run. This one is built around your trip through it. We answer in the order a journey actually happens: land, clear passport control, collect a bag, find the right way into the city, and pay for it without losing money on the exchange. Each answer is a full page rather than a line in a table, because the details are where people get caught out. An official counter taxi and the tout who intercepts you first look identical for the ten seconds it takes to make the wrong choice.

Experience shapes what we choose to cover. We track the things that quietly change a trip: a route suspended for runway works, a wait that doubles in the morning peak, a currency rule that flips which payment method saves you money. When one of those shifts, the page that depends on it changes too.

What does the guide cover?

The site follows a real trip through EZE, in the order you meet each step:

Getting in and out: arrivals and departures, live flight status and terminal wayfinding.
Ground transport: official airport taxis, private transfers, the shuttle bus and the drive downtown, with real fare ranges instead of vague estimates.
Money and time: how to pay in pesos or dollars, current immigration waits, and where to sleep near the airport before an early flight.
Disruptions: event-driven changes such as the 2026 runway works, which suspend or reroute specific long-haul flights.

How do we keep the information accurate?

Airport information goes stale fast. Fares drift, routes get cut, terminals get renamed. We work from primary sources first: Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 for facilities and official notices, and the airlines themselves for schedules and disruption plans. When we quote a price or a wait time we date it, and we return to the pages that change most often instead of writing them once and moving on.

For example, when the 2026 runway rehabilitation was announced, we built a dedicated page listing which airlines suspended or rerouted flights and checked it against each carrier's own notices rather than a single news report. We also write from the passenger's side of the desk, which means we say when something is genuinely uncertain rather than inventing a tidy answer. Spot a fare that has moved or a detail that has aged badly? Tell us and we fix it. Corrections are welcome here, not an embarrassment.

How does the site pay for itself?

The guide is free to read and runs on advertising and affiliate partnerships. Some links, including transfer bookings through GetTransfer, may earn us a commission when you book through them. That commission never changes the advice. We describe the taxi, bus, transfer and rental options as they really compare, and we flag the cheaper choice even when it earns us nothing. When a partner option is not the right one for your trip, we say so plainly.

Are you the official Ezeiza airport website?

No. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 or any government body. For official matters such as lost property, formal complaints or operational questions, contact the airport operator through aeropuertosargentina.com, and always confirm flight-specific details directly with your airline. Everything here is guidance to plan with, not an official notice.
