Ezeiza is 35kms from Buenos Aires City centre. There are 2 terminals: A and B.The terminals are walking distance of each other.
The airport has parking spaces available in a multi-storey covered parking garage and an open-air parking lot, next to Terminal A. There is no distinction between long- and short-term parking at the airport. Spaces are subject to availability and reservations cannot be made.
There are four car hire companies at the airport: Alamo, Avis, Hertz and Localiza, located in Terminal A Arrivals.
Ezeiza international Airport is a large airport. Ezeiza is the only international airport in Buenos Aires. What I like about the airport is the layout. It is not difficult to find what you are looking for example check-ins, arrivals and departures. The airport is marked clearly and you have information centers everywhere where you can make enquiries. There are also a lot of officials on duty.
The check-in counters are on the bottom floor and on the left wing of the building. You need to check the notice board to see at which counter you need to check in. The bording area is at the top floor. You pass through security with your boarding pass and then you proceed to immigration.
There are various restaurants and coffee shops where you can drink or eat something while you have the long wait for your flight. I find it strange that there is not enough places for people te sit. I would have expected more from such a big airport.
Ezeiza has an internet shop which is quite expensive. I paid 5 pesos for 1 hour. They also have pay phones and you can make international calls. There are gift and book shops and places where you can buy colddrinks etc. There are not many restaurants with WI-FI and I found it quite difficult to find a WI-FI spot.
The airport has a couple of bathrooms and I also liked the fact that the toilet was big enough to enter with my suitcase. The airport is very clean and with enough light.
