AEP · Buenos Aires city-side Aeroparque for domestic and regional flights — not Ezeiza. Priority Pass covers AMAE airside near Gate 1 (domestic, 24h listing) with crowding risk. Excellent close-in ground access via Costanera buses and taxis.
EZE · Argentina’s long-haul gateway works when you respect arrivals≠departures and treat Priority Pass capacity as real. Strong lounge menu on paper; Gate 9 congestion, terminal letter chaos, and the EZE↔AEP land transfer punish careless plans.

Arrivals building ≠ departures building
International passengers clear Arribos Internacionales then walk landside to Partidas / Terminal B for connecting departures.
Gate 9 cluster is crowded; PP capacity is real
Star Alliance, LATAM, and Admirals/Iberia all sit opposite / near Gate 9 Level 2 — wayfinding and queues collide.
No MCT invented — budget the landside hop
Intl→intl or intl→domestic that leaves sterile area means immigration + bags + customs X-ray + landside walk to Partidas.
