From touchdown to day one in Buenos Aires
Put a departure hour on the math: wheels-up at 10:00 from LAX puts you on the ground at EZE around 03:16 local time, once the 5-hour gain is applied. Hotel, meal and transit averages put a Buenos Aires day at $110 against $268 in Los Angeles — worth weighing against any fare premium for better flight times.
Buenos Aires undercuts Los Angeles by $158 a day on the dataset averages; let that shape how many nights you book at each end. The modest 5-hour eastbound shift keeps the Los Angeles–Buenos Aires trip easy to absorb.
