Buenos Aires

  • All international flights arrive and depart at the Ezeiza Airport (international airport) in Buenos Aires.
  • Most domestic flights within Argentina arrive and depart at the Aeroparque Jorge Newberry Airport (national airport), which is about 30 miles away from the international airport.
  • Plan at least 3 hours between the time you arrive at the international Ezeiza airport and when your domestic flight departs from the Newberry airport, to allow for customs and the approximate one hour ride between airports.
  • By Shuttle: Tienda León provides shuttle service between the two airports. Their counter is located at the baggage claim area. The shuttle leaves once an hour from 6:30am to 8:30pm and then irregularly between 9:45pm and midnight. Please check the schedule online for exact times for your arrival date. The transfer takes about one hour. It is recommended to buy tickets on the spot in case your flight is delayed.
  • By Taxi: You can hire a private taxi at the Manuel Tienda León Company counter in the baggage claim area. Additional taxi services are available at the taxi stands around the corner.
  • By Shuttle: Tienda León provides shuttle service to and from the center of town (Terminal Madera on the corners of Avenida Madera and San Martín) which runs every 30 minutes and takes approximately 20 minutes.
