Most international flights arrive at the Ezeiza International Airport, while domestic flights arrive at Aeroparque. Currency can be exchanged in the airport at Banco Nacion. Teller machines are available and work with most major credit cards. Public phones are either coin or card-operated. Cards are available at the airport. You can also dial #19 to make a collect call. A bus company (Manuel Tienda Leon) offers transportation to downtown Buenos Aires and the ride takes about 40 minutes. The ticket stand of the Manuel Tienda Leon company is the first stand after you exit customs. There are also public transportation buses that serve downtown Buenos Aires at a cheaper rate, but we do not recommend it if you carry a significant amount of luggage.
