"Arrival is straight forward"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Small airport and gateway to the Antarctica. Ushuaia is a tourist destination and claimed by Argentina to be the southernmost city in the world. Check in is straightforward on street level. You go up a flight of stairs for security check and to your gate. Ample sitting space. There were a couple of small shops selling souvenirs. Jetways to aircraft. On the main floor there is a large duty free shop selling the usual "international" brands of chocolates, perfumes, and liquor. Also a cafe for food and drinks. Arrival is straight forward. Luggage arrived quickly in baggage claim and put through a casual security check. Taxi dispatcher at exit arranges for passengers to get into vehicles for their respective hotels. English widely understood by airport workers. They are also very helpful. The town is very close by - visible from the entrance to the airport - aned reached in 10 minutes. The airport caters to the huge tourist flow there. Views from the airplane while landing and taking off are dramatic with scenes of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago spread out. Window seat is a must. Nearly all the flights to Buenos Aires from Ushuaia are to the capital city's domestic airport which is far away from the airport that caters to international flights to the U.S. and Europe.

"wifi was unusable most of the time"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | Ushuaia copies El Calafate in the design and in doing a lot of things right for a small regional airport - but it doesn't do it as well. The good things include using airbridges even for small regional jets (helps get you out of the cold wind), fast check-in and security staff, a nice clean terminal, lots of meter taxis (less than $200 to most of town). However, there were fewer toilets, badly organised cafes with limited food, flight info was often wrong, and the wifi was unusable most of the time.

Ushuaia Airport customer review

Flew in and out of here on our way to a ship. Arrival was straight forward and baggage arrived quite quickly. There was a customs check on arrival for plant material even though this was a domestic flight. Departure check-in was fast the departure gates are upstairs although we did not find any signs to tell us. At the time of writing the airport tax is 13 pesos. There is free wifi internet available at the airport a cafe with not too high prices but little public seating. Although a modernish building users will notice that the roof leaks in numerous places quite badly.

Ushuaia Airport customer review

Small modern wood-paneled regional airport. Helpful tourist info desk located just before you exit the building. Airport is located close to the town on what was apparently a bird nesting area so taxi rides are cheap. I arrived in Ushuaia by plane and departed by ship so cannot comment on check-in procedures and facilities.
