Getting to the airport can be part of the journey too. Between check-in, security and the wait before boarding, there’s time to take a break, enjoy something delicious and treat yourself before getting on the plane. A hearty burger, a croissant, a grab-and-go sandwich or a dessert can become that little pleasure that makes the time before your flight even better.

At Aeropuertos Argentina, the food offering brings together options for different moments and cravings: from Argentine classics to international flavors and sweet treats. It’s a selection designed for eating before a flight, recharging your batteries or simply making the most of the wait with something delicious.

Burgers to make the wait more enjoyable

At Hard Rock Café, the Messi Burger puts a loaded spin on the classic burger: a double portion of beef, provolone cheese, sliced chorizo, caramelized red onion and the restaurant’s spicy, smoky house sauce. It comes with seasoned French fries, making it a dish for those looking for something flavorful and filling. The result is a combination of textures and flavors that can be enjoyed from start to finish.
