Aeroparque Internacional Jorge Newbery

Close to downtown, Aeroparque, as it's known, is very convenient. This is the BA airport for domestic flights plus neighboring countries.

If you arrive early, you can go for a walk in park across the street.

Decent restaurants for coffee, snacks or a meal. The waiting area in the second floor is way nicer than a newer airport would ever have with comfortable chairs and tables overlooking the park and river in front of the airport.

The security process is quick, efficient and almost friendly.

Small airport is in downtown Buenos Aires. The plane landed on the tarmac, and we were taken by bus to the terminal. There was a long ladies room line & an endless walk to the other end of the terminal to get on the taxi line as many doors were locked. Outside we had to walk the distance of the terminal to get to the front of the taxi line. We couldn't just get in a taxi we had to get on WiFi, scan a code , enter our destination, get price and show the code to the driver. Without checked luggage it took an hour to get in a taxi & we are hot, wet and very tired.

This airport is also known as "AEP". It is 1 of 2 airports in Buenos Aires. It is located in the Palermo area and is right along the Río de la Plata. It is also very close to the city center which makes it kind of nice when grabbing a taxi to go to/from there. It is a hub for airlines such as Jet Smart and Aerolineas Argentinas, however, there are a few other airlines that fly in/out of here as well. It is mainly for regional and national flights, but there are some international flights in/out of here.

Again, the airport is easy to get to from the city since it is so close. We took a taxi and barely experienced any traffic going there. Once there, it takes a few minutes to get your bearings and know where you need to go. For a small airport, this is a very busy place and can be overwhelming. I know there is only so much crowd control the staff can do, but give it a little extra time when coming here due to the crowds and people just being in the way.

There is a lack of information type of desks and/or stands which makes it a little nerve-racking. Search for "that person" with a lanyard if you know what I mean and ask for help if you need it. Depending on the airline you are flying, it could further the confusion from staff sending you to the wrong place and/or just not being helpful. As you know, the airport itself is not responsible for the nightmare experience of any airline, nor the poor organizational, customer service, etc. skills of the airline employees you choose. Just be prepared for anything.

It is a clean airport and it has a lot to offer as far as shopping and restaurants. There is a Hard Rock Café and a duty-free shop to name a few. Security was thorough and quick, which we all can appreciate. Once past security, it was easy to navigate...thank goodness! There seems to be more than ample amount of seating if needed and there is wi-fi too.

Very basic airport, close to Buenos Aires City Center. Used AEP airport for a flight back to Sao Paulo. Airport is pretty much no-frills with limited facilities. International terminal has a duty free shop, a few cafe like venues, Outback Steakhouse and no airport lounge. Also only one bathroom, as the terminal is small, but it was clean. Not too many places to charge your phone/computer ... There are charging stations near gate 16, but they're usually being used by others.

One good benefit of this airport is that immigration and security are pretty fast in the international terminal. I sped thru immigration in about 10 minutes.

While lounge access is nice, I would rather have a speedy immigration and security process over a sub-par lounge. Overall an average airport that got the job done.

The domestic airport in Buenos Aires is small and in downtown and not really where you would walk to or walk around. It was decent and fairly quick at security.

AEP was such a breeze to go from Santiago, Chile. The flight was a bit rough with landing but that's not entirely the airport's fault.
When getting off of the plane, we walked for maybe 5 minutes to get to customs. Customs took a little while but there were a lot of employees so the line was moving at a reasonable speed. After customers, we walked through a shop and immediately saw our luggage on the belt. I was shocked that everything was so close to each other and it was easy to navigate. Surprisingly, we didn't have to get our bags xrayed even though most people had to.
Finding taxis were easy but they definitely bombard you over it. Simply go to a black and yellow cab and you will be fine. We actually met a taxi driver who spoke English and gave us a little tour of the city while driving to the destination (he told us the fee beforehand so we weren't being overcharged for any extra driving if there was any. I know NYC does that sometimes). He was wonderful and gave us his number to call him if we need anything.
All in all, great airport! But I will update when it's time to fly through it again shortly.

It's relatively new. Easy to navigate. One uses this airport for domestic flights. As well as flights to from neighboring country (look at a map) Immaculately maintained. Well air conditioned. Lots of seating. Easy checkin, even when you have to buy for excess luggage and wait on another line after checkin. Security line well staffed and easy to get through. Security agents attractive, which is nice when you have to be patted down. Lots of places to get food. If you read reviews where people and whine about the airport they are to be discounted. They are the types who live to complain. Oh, very clean bathrooms.

Domestic airport servicing local flights. Facilities are very mediocre.

Had to use this airport on a recent flight between 2 cities in Argentina. It was during lunch time and We wanted to get something to eat. The food choices were very limited. A few cafes to choose from and we decided to go with one that had a reasonable menu that served alcohol. The service was terrible, to be expected.

Security lines were not long at all, we got through in 5 min. The airport is not huge so it was a short walk to our gate. Bathrooms are not super clean and the WORST part is there were no power outlets to be found anywhere!

Need an update to the modern world.

Gayle and I were recently in and out of AEP on the following occasions:

- A 5:05 AM flight to Trelew
- A 1:05 PM flight to Igazu
- A 9:40 AM flight from Jujuy, a layover, and then a 2:00 PM flight to Bariloche
- A 11:50 AM flight from Bariloche

The only real issue Gayle and I had during our multiple experiences here was the fact that the Jujuy to Bariloche connection required collecting our bags on the Arrivals side of the airport and then walking over to the Departures side and going through Security again. That's a lot of hassle for a "hub and spoke" transfer.

Here are the positives:

- Straightforward check-in at the Aerolineas Argentinas counter. All we needed to do was pick whether we were flying North or South and get in the right line, which moved along.

- Straightforward Security screening. There were 2 lines with a simple scanner and usually a simple pat down. Sometimes we needed to take our electronics out, but never our shoes.

- Nice shopping and dining options. We had Lunch one day at the Hard Rock Cafe and early AM coffee and sweets at Havana.

- Decent free Wi-Fi, although reception struggled within the Hard Rock Cafe.

- Clean and roomy Departures area and clear status update boards. However, I'm still trying to figure out what pre-embarque really means.

- Direct and easy bus transfers between the gate and the plane, or the plane and the baggage area. I'd rather go directly on the plane, but this alternative wasn't too shabby.

This was perhaps our best Argentina airport experience and shines well above our International Airport experience.

Clean, efficient and surprisingly bigger than I was expecting. The security checkpoint is a joke. The "pat down" I got after the alarm went off was a half hand on the gut and lower back.

Most of the places to grab food and drink are before the security checkpoint so I'd recommend going there if you have time. Past security is pretty much a Hard Rock Cafe, where the service was amazing but the food sucked, to no surprise. Plus, downstairs before security has places where you can overlook the ocean.
