I did this flight to visit the Ferrari factory in Maranello city.
Ezeiza airport has 3 terminals (A, B and C).
A: For international flights
B: international flights (currently remodeling)
C: For regional flight. Its also the Aerolineas Argentinas Terminal.
However alitalia served from the terminal C. I don´t no why.
Some spotting in C Terminal:
Aerolinas Argentinas 340-300 whith the old livery. Destination MIA
Iberia A 340-600 (In he left a LAN 320 tail and in the right my plane.
Alitalia 777-200
Boarding Pass. In line waiting for Clase Magnifica boarding (Alitalia´s First Class)
Gate 14 Boarding on time
Porto Rotondo The name of the 777
Rush Hour! The occupancy was 90%
Our neighbor and in the back a 777 BA Tail
IFE
Climbing
12hs left
Flight service began with drinks and snack
The treatment of the FA was efficient but not value added in the entire flight. There was no re filling and gave it the feeling that they wanted to finish their work fast.
Snacks
The IFE was very poor. most of the movies were only in Italian. Only had two premieres and a selection of 8 other movies
Lunch was pasta or meat. I chose meat.
Over the Atlantic
This was the dinner.
Over the Sahara Desert
Connecting Flights
FCO finally at terminal G
To finish some pictures of my ferrari experience. It was a dream come true
This is me!
I hope you like the report. I see many reports from Europe, USA and Asia but not in South America. I have many more to upload.
I welcome your criticism and comment
Until next time!

Fantastic report! Thanks so much for sharing and welcome :)
2013-12-15 17:57:20This FR is not going to improve AZ's poor rating, with substandard catering, IFE and FAs. I wonder if flying AZ in economy is anybody's dream come true, but I can understand that visiting Ferrari's factory can be for some.
2013-12-15 18:10:45It's great to greet a new contributor to FR from down down south. Most French people have heard the name Ushuaia from a popular TV program, but few have ever been there, and reports from there with a local's perspective will be most welcome. Thanks for this FR and looking forward for more !
the end justifies the means.... Tks for you welcome :)!
2013-12-15 18:15:55Great report! I loved the pictures of EZE's widebodies!
2013-12-15 18:30:43And I agree with you! There aren't many reports from South America! We should upload more flights! ;-)
Bienvenido y suerte!
Thanks for this report and welcome .
2013-12-15 18:35:53The catering seems very poor.
If you have a look on my reports you can see that I went to Patagonia;)
Thanks a lot for this new FR and welcome here!
Quite average AZ experience, tight seat and so so catering.
You can improve your report with larger pics and an overall view of the cabin (taken while going to the loo for eg).
I really liked the Ferrari bonus, thanks for sharing!
See you soon.
2013-12-15 20:14:20tks so much.
2013-12-15 21:31:45I'll take it into consideration for next FR :)
Thanks for sharing your first FR and welcome aboard
Not a great flight with AZ :(
Nice bonus with this Ferrari tour and drive
2013-12-15 23:08:54Thanks for this FR.
2013-12-16 11:47:27Average service in AZ Y again...
Thanks for sharing this first report here! AZ product in economy is not very convincing. What a contrast with their great Business product. Overall a good first report--I would add that larger pictures are welcome along with comments in the summary section to explain the rating you have given. Thanks again for sharing!

After reading your report, I am not going to rush on any Y AZ long-haul ticket !
The F.A. were loving their job, the catering is so poor an not yummy at all : a scandal for a 12+ hours flight.
No need to ask why AZ is close to bankrupcy !
Thanks for sharing and welcome on board.
