Is EZE easy to connect through?
EZE is Argentina's primary international gateway, but it is not a seamless hub — most connections require exiting security, clearing immigration and customs, reclaiming checked bags, and re-checking in for the next flight. This makes tight connections risky, especially since EZE lacks a dedicated international-to-international transit corridor found at major global hubs. Terminal A and Terminal C are physically separate buildings connected by a free shuttle bus (or a roughly 15-20 minute walk along the perimeter road), as there is no covered walkway. Passengers connecting between international flights in Terminal A typically must pass through immigration and customs, then re-enter security screening for departure, since EZE has no dedicated airside international transit zone.
