What FLL to EZE looks like
The FLL to EZE sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Fort Lauderdale FLL to Buenos Aires EZE is a long haul sector of 7,144 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a week.
Fort Lauderdale FLL is a major hub in the network held here, 168 scheduled destinations and 340.6 departures a day. Buenos Aires EZE has 58 destinations and 109.4 departures a day.
Fort Lauderdale carries about 3.1 times the departures of Buenos Aires, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Buenos Aires runs 2 hours ahead of Fort Lauderdale in January and one hour ahead in July, because the two ends do not change their clocks together.
The pair sits inside the Americas, a corridor where the site already publishes 13 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on FLL to EZE from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| FLL to EZE | 0.14 | 1 | none held |
| EZE to FLL | 0 | 0 | none held |
No operating carrier is recorded on the nonstop, which is why the connecting routings below are the plan for FLL to EZE rather than the fallback.
The return leg EZE to FLL carries no scheduled nonstop at all, so a courier coming back does it with a connection.
At about once a week the nonstop is thin enough that a consignment which misses it waits days rather than hours, which is the case for reading the routings below before promising anything.
Between them the two directions put about 1 departure a week on FLL to EZE, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 9h 06m block time on FLL to EZE. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to FLL | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At FLL before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| FLL to EZE in the air, estimated | 546 min | 13h 36m |
| Formalities at EZE | 90 min | 15h 06m |
| Delivery run in Buenos Aires | 45 min | 15h 51m |
| Door to door | 951 min | 15h 51m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for FLL to EZE is 15h 51m.
A courier who leaves Fort Lauderdale at 09:00 local is on the ground in Buenos Aires at about 20:06 local and at the door by 22:21 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Buenos Aires, the last useful departure from Fort Lauderdale is around 04:39 local.
At 15h 51m the mission uses most of a sixteen hour duty day, which leaves no room for a delay before a rest at the far end becomes the honest answer.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 11 of them join FLL to EZE.
| Connecting at | FLL to hub, flights a day | Hub to EZE, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medellin MDE | 2.29 | 1.14 | 7,160 | 10h 47m |
| Aruba AUA | 1.29 | 0.71 | 7,244 | 10h 51m |
| Panama City PTY | 1.29 | 7.29 | 7,243 | 10h 52m |
| Bogota BOG | 2.29 | 3.43 | 7,150 | 11h 03m |
| Miami MIA | 2.86 | 6 | 7,153 | 11h 08m |
| Punta Cana PUJ | 2 | 3.29 | 7,498 | 11h 09m |
11 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Medellin MDE, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through MDE the routing covers 7,160 km against the 7,144 km nonstop track and takes about 10h 47m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 41m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Aruba AUA at 10h 51m and Panama City PTY at 10h 52m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Fort Lauderdale, Miami MIA is 34 km away by great circle and carries 230 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires AEP is 31 km away by great circle and carries 57 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for FLL to EZE in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
