    Beautiful surroundings indeed, but the layout is a bit confusing. Moreover lack of currency exchange at the entrance. Really long queue of check-in especially morning flight.

    Second floor in the section before passing migrations, there are not very well known seats (this is DGAC offices). Most of them you won't find occupied.

    If you want to exchange cash for Chilean Pesos, skip the AFEX and go to the 2nd floor Santander. They have a better exchange rate and no fees.

    Last minute postcards or packages to send? There's a tiny post office branch in the atrium on the way to domestic departures. Next to Dunkin Donuts, before security.

    There is a chance that your luggage gets unloaded to a random belt. We flew from Lima and one of our bags one on the Sao Paolo belt. Look around before declaring it MIA!

    A functional airport & great customer service; however, it's facilities should be updated. Santiago is such a beautiful and lovely city that such an airport shouldn't be this city's "first impression"

    No main area to shop & eat, instead things are scattered all around so you don't know what's available unless you walk around. There's much more than it seems if you can be bothered to explore.

    If you’re taking a uber to or from the airport, chances are they will drop/pi up at a parking lot- but there’s usually a bus waiting (free) to get you to the terminals

    No free WiFi along the airport except some caffes/restaurants (ask first)... Year 2015, come on!

    For LATAM Airlines, print your boarding passes and luggage tags in the self-serve monitors, then get in the “tag luggage drop” line. After that you can continue to boarding.

    Shitty airport. Make sure you get there after your check in / luggage dispatching starts otherwise you risk not having proper places to eat and sit. All the good stuff is past the departing gate

    Amex Platinum? No VIP lounge for you. But! If you are hungry: Fritz sandwiches in front of gate 19A is good and cheap!

    If you’re leaving the country in an international flight, arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure.

    DONT COME!!! These people don’t deserve to have tourism. Must invest heavily on technology and modernizing the whole place. It’s an insult to any traveler and very long lines even on a Wednesday night

    If you have to dispatch your hand luggage at the gate due to excess of weight and size beware that the ground workers may steal goods from your luggage before they put it into the airplane.

    Get close to the vip lounge for free wifi. There are plenty of seats just outise to relax with your laptop/smartphone

    A good idea is to buy a prepaid SIM card for $10 in the stores at third floor. Then charge them to buy a internet package called "bolsa"

    No transit hotels inside the airport. There is a lounge where you can pay USD70 and have a shower and snacks, that is all.

    Large airport. Pass migrations and security and wait inside where there is plenty of options for a meal, coffee or menial shopping.

    Preferential access is in fourth floor and connected to VIP lounge directory via immigration. However, this preferential access counter is too hard to find out.

    Oficial transfers might be the cheapest option to get to your place. It was cheaper than Uber for 2 pax.

    International terminal is much nicer than domestic. Remember to keep your immigration receipt slip - your hotels will ask for it

    It's the most important airport in Chile but It's very small. :S No free wifi networks and just a few restaurants.

    The airport is under expansion and the information system is messed up (it gives you different gate numbers in different screens).

    Modern airport, slow security, seems overcrowded. Sometimes quite long distances between gates for such a small airport. Many employees do not speak English.

    Visit the US Embassy and ask them why we haven't apologized to Chile for supporting Pinochet's attack on democracy back in 1973

    They are working hard to make it better but it has been a while at it - elevators that will not take you anywhere or not@atop at some levels (4) are annoying. Has the potential BUT not quite there yet

    Santiago International Airport is not huge, it's just ok. It seems that everything works pretty well, when I was returning home, there was a problem with the gate number displayed for our flight.

    En fila esperando a que haya un agente disponible para atender, like whaaat, nobody was there to receive tourists. And nobody was there to at least answer a question. Welcome to Chile!
