Question about airport in B.A.
 
We arrive via American Airlines (from L.A.) and my mother in law (coming from London) arrives via Air France. Our flights arrive within 15 minutes of each other.

1. Do we go thru the same customs section or are we in different terminals?

2. Is baggage claim a good place to 'try to meet up'? Or does someone have other suggestions.

Thanks a lot :)

Unless all gates are occupied, AA and Air France share the same terminal, baggage claim area and customs (possibly immigration as well)

Either area can turn into a zoo when more than one plane arrive at once. Don't count on air conditioning to work either.

Past customs and past the transportation booths, you'll find a huge information/meeting place area. It's circular in shape and it's located prior to entering the check-in area for departing planes. Very hard to miss.

Pro: visibility, known place
Con: you may get hussled by 'gypsy' taxi drivers / con artists every now and then.

As you exit the customs area into the main terminal there are coffee shops to the left and to the right of the roped off customs area....a good place to meet.

Don't take a cab from the gypsy cab drivers, just drink a coffee and wait for your mother in law....

And I have never been there when the air conditioning wasn't working....

Have a great vacation!

Jorge,
My next flight into EZE arrives a week from today....I hope my good luck continues

I love Argentina, but the heat and humidity in summer without air conditioning makes it unpleasant in BA....

We will be visiting at the same time :) We arrive on 2/10, a.m.
