Arrival & Departure Information
Please review the following information before confirming your flight arrangements to Argentina. Many Antarctica travelers like to begin their journey by spending a few days in Buenos Aires to get over jet lag and also to allow for any possible weather delays en route. Note that cruises are not like other trips—if you arrive late, you miss the sailing and you can’t catch up.
It is always an overnight flight to reach Buenos Aires from the US, so you will have to book your flights to depart the US a day prior to the start of the trip. Buenos Aires has two airports; please book your flights to EZE, Buenos Aires’ international airport.
If you need to transfer in Buenos Aires from the domestic (AEP) to the international airport (EZE), allow at least four hours connection time in order to accommodate required customs and security checks. The international airport can be congested and the lines very long and traffic in Buenos Aires can be slow.
