Meeting a flight at El Calafate Airport
- Check the board again just before you leave. Estimated landing times often change while a flight is in the air.
- "Landed" means the aircraft is on the ground, not that passengers are out. Allow time for taxiing, disembarking and baggage, and longer after an international flight with passport and customs checks.
- If a flight disappears from the board or shows as cancelled, the airline will have the latest rebooking information.
- Picking up a rental car? If your flight is late, contact the rental company before the desk's closing time.
