Any updates on how this is affecting Ezeiza?

It sounds like all flights to and from Patagonia have been postponed indefinitely. A friend of mine decided to go to Ushuaia for a week and was supposed to fly back to BA last Sunday. She hasn't been able to leave this whole time and now plans on taking a three-day bus ride back home. Pretty crazy.

Lots of international flights are being canceled out of EZE.

Friends incoming June 10th from Houston were canceled on Continental until Monday night, June 13th.

Arrived last night, Delta. First flight in for a few days. Think things are getting back to normal.

A friend of mine just completed an epic journey home from Honduras -- she left there Tuesday morning, finally got to BA at 1pm today (Saturday). She was supposed to have been home Weds am and leave for Austria on friday night -- her Austria flight was cancelled and rescheduled for Sunday night... hopefully she'll make it.

This is amazing, the ash cloud is effecting flights in NZ, and from the south island to AUS..
