Getting from Ezeiza International Airport to the city

The coach

• Manuel Tienda Leon operates the scheduled service between Ezeiza and Terminal Pellegrini in central Buenos Aires, near Retiro.
• Departures are frequent through the day and tied loosely to arrivals.
• The company also runs onward transfers from its terminal to hotels, which is worth taking with luggage.

On prices

Argentina is the one country in this section where quoting a fare would mislead you.

• Peso fares are revised extremely frequently.
• Any figure printed in a guide is out of date, sometimes within weeks.
• Read the price at the counter or the operator's own site on the day you travel.
• Card payment is usually the better rate than cash conversion, though the situation changes; ask.

Booking inside the terminal

• Coach, remis and transfer desks are inside the arrivals hall.
• A remis is a booked private car with the price agreed at the desk - the standard Argentine alternative to a taxi.
• Do not accept a ride from anyone who approaches you. The official desks do not tout, and this is the ordinary rule at large Latin American airports.

Two airports

• Ezeiza (EZE) - international, about 35 km southwest of the centre.
• Aeroparque (AEP) - domestic and regional, right by the river a few kilometres from the centre.
• Connections between them take an hour or more. Check which one your onward flight uses; the names are not interchangeable and the difference is an afternoon.
