Prologue:

After an incoming flight so and so, I wonder how will be the return.
For those who did not read the first report it isapart of a AMS ZUR EZE ticket bought about one year ago for about 1.300 US $

I was hoping to provide you a report about the new unique departure hall in EZE. Thus a deadly (1+) working accident early in september leaded to a stop in the works and opening is delayed. Therefore the access to the terminal is a big mess and I needed nearly more time to be driven from EZE's entry to terminalA than from Obelisco to EZE's entry But due to a moussoon type weather I stayed in the"remis"! I did the checking with a person who was trying to make me turn to the english locuter that I am not.. thusI answered obviously in "porteno". Hadshort time to spend hereto drink a coffee. Usually this chain isexpensive surprisingly (especialy for an airport) it is quite reasonable an usually not crowded.

Quite a long queue in security controls as there was only one line out of three opened. Terminal A don't have any priority lane for business pax or CIP people only one for pregnant elder diplomats crew ...

The Washington imposed bodyscan is nearly never utilised! Luckily "migraciones" where less crowded and finally it tooks me15-20 minutesto be airside. Not so bad for once!

Amuse gueule: artichoke (leaves) pesto tomato pine pinions. The italian white wine is better than the swiss'sone tested for the inflight.

No rose for the Ché!

photo 640x640 3

Free range local shrimps goodas usual. Mango-papaya "mesclun" was disapointing. So wasthe"seasonal" salad.

photo 640x640 3

Beef filet excellent on the legumes side it was so and so.

photo 640x640 3

The crew worried about the steak cooking. For my taste it was realy fine.

photo 640x640 3

Cheese from Leyzin not bad Swiss camembert was mediocre and it's boring as for 6 LX WK long haul flights in one year it's allwayst hesame cheese selection

photo 640x640 3

Disapointing symphonie of desserts asyou can only choose one from two cakes (this one supposed from dulcede lecche but realy poor tasting) strawberry mousse or fruits salad. No offer for somemore. I afford a Bailey's and then remove thestuff from the table in order to start the nap that will be my night (landing at 2.00AM argentinian time).

photo 640x640 3

When I woke up the stuff jherstill there. Thisseat 11K has a large "feet box" but is quite narrow I wasnotableto fit my shoulders in when it goes to lye flat". About the "midnight buffet" it was poor quite an AirFrance Y one! Biscuits fruits micro Toblerone...

photo 640x640 3

Wake-up orange juice.

photo 640x640 3

The brioche is a must. Once again cheese and cold meat were so andso.

photo 640x640 3

Wehadto make some christianas upon arrival.

photo 640x640 3

Then we disambark at gatesD First time andI hope last time. A full mess. Then opened first the door 1L leaving the Y+ passengers free (When converting from LX to WK they removed the F class and some J seats and installed in the nose of the plane an Y+ class! Therefore a passport control in the jetty. And then security and border controls were crowded with people from east asia with huge quantities of hand lugage. Thirty minuts to ensure this. Then walk to gateA. All this cumulated with the delay of the plane when you had initially 70 minuts for your connection!

    Pour le prix je trouve que le repas est pas mal du tout. Bien mieux que ce que je peux avoir sur AV. Merci pour ce retour.

    A mes yeux il faut considérer le prix actuel et non le tarif de lancement, on est maintenant avec un vol cher (2200 - 2400) en particulier en comparant avec un vol certes indirect avec LX qui sera a 1800!

    Salut Jérôme!
    Ca fait plaisir de te relire!!!!! Un vol qui fait plus ou moins le job mais qui est loin de faire rêver... Une cabine J très mal placée à bord qui au final fait perdre un temps précieux à l'arrivée et une prestation d'ensemble très pale...

    Merci pour le partage mon ami

    Un YTR de Saraoutou c'est toujours qq chose de plaisant à lire. Pas d'erreur sur le temps de vol car cela semble long ? Merci pour ce reportage!

    Bien vu 13h iso 15! ça se traine un 340 mais tout de même
  • GRMY


    Merci Jérôme pour ce TR.

    Si c'est un poil mieux que le vol aller, cela reste assez moyen pour de la J.

    Le tout avec une arrivée qui n'a rien à envier à Paris Nous Aime.

    A bientôt !

    Hola amigo,

    Thanks for sharing this nice TR. For that price I think that I can put up with any deficiencies or imperfections from the airline. :P My trip from SFO-CDG in Premium Econ was a bit less than what you paid so don't feel so bad. ;)

    Looks like long lines at EZE is a fact that every traveler should confront whether leaving or arriving. As for the lounges I don't think they have been good at any Latin American airport from my travel experiences but it seems that this is changing.

    For a Swiss carrier I think more can be expected but the value for the ticket is good.

    Great bonus of the "parrillada".

    Always a pleasure to read your TR's.

    I didn't complain for the price paid it was a very good deal but I checked some random actual prices and it about twice what I paid and more expensive than the others!

    Lamentablemente debido a algunas persecuciones me parece que voy a parar mis publicaciones!
