Common Aerolíneas Argentinas check-in problems
EZE vs AEP terminal split

Solution: Verify departure airport on booking. Connecting domestic-international = transfer between AEP and EZE = 90 min minimum.
Smiles Diamond/Plus loyalty integration
Problem: Aerolíneas Plus loyalty (top tier Diamond) integrates with SkyTeam Elite Plus.
Solution: If you have Air France/KLM Flying Blue Platinum or Delta Diamond, you get equivalent benefits on AR. Use SkyTeam-tagged check-in lanes at EZE.
