Buenos Aires is well-connected and easy to reach, with three airports, two coach stations, and a port and cruise terminal.
Buenos Aires is served by three airports, first offering international flights and the other two are mainly domestic.
Ministro Pistarini International Airport, Ezeiza (EZE)
The biggest airport in Argentina is located in Ezeiza, 32 km (20 miles) from the centre of Buenos Aires city. Most long-haul international flights arrive and depart from here, along with some domestic and regional flights. It is the international hub of Aerolíneas Argentinas and LATAM Argentina. The journey from the airport to the centre of the city takes about 50 minutes. Best transportation option would be either a taxi or the shuttle bus lines with reservation booths at the arrivals area both at Terminal A and Terminal C which will lead you to Buenos Aires city centre. The Manuel Tienda León Bus Company is very reliable with regular departures every 30 minutes between Ezeiza Buenos Aires airport, Jorge Newbery Buenos Aires airport and their main office in downtown Buenos Aires (1299 E. Madero Av.). The trip takes about 50 minutes. A taxi ride (white taxi Ezeiza) should take around 35 minutes and can cost around 450 Pesos or ARS (24€). You can also take bus line 394 once you go out of the arrivals area of Ezeiza Airport’s Terminal. Line 394 is going through Barrio Uno, Jorge Newbery Road, Post Office Headquarters, Monte Grande Railroad station, route 4, and Camino de Cintura.
Jorge Newbery Airport, known as Aeroparque (AEP)
Located in the city itself, in the Palermo neighbourhood, along the Río de la Plata, just 10 km away from Buenos Aires city centre. this airport is within 25 minutes of the main hotels in Buenos Aires. It is the hub for mostly domestic flights to other Latin American country destinations such as Uruguay, Bolivia, Brazil or Chile. Taxis would be the best option for transportation to the city centre.
Located 18 km (11 miles) from the city, El Palomar Airport began serving a range of low-cost domestic flights to destinations throughout Argentina in 2018.
