What happens when you arrive at EZE
Keep your passport and any form you filled in on the plane with you the whole way, from the aircraft door to the exit.
On an international arrival you clear immigration, collect your bags and pass through customs, and the airport is open all night, so there is no hurry at that hour but there is also no crowd to wait in.
Buenos Aires Ezeiza Airport with children
The walk from the aircraft to the exit passes through the immigration hall and the baggage belt, so keep a snack and water within reach and something over the stroller for the night, if the flight lands late.
Leave the passports and the children's documents in your carry-on bag, not in the checked luggage, so you have them at the immigration queue.
Plan your stop at Buenos Aires Ezeiza Airport
