Australians will often spend plenty of time here on their way into and out of South America and this $1.4 billion new terminal makes things far more pleasant.
Glance out the aircraft window, and you can’t help but notice there’s something entirely new here. Last February, Santiago lifted the curtain on a sparkling new international terminal, a whopping $US900 million facility with so many of the bells and whistles missing in its outdated old hub . I’m transiting through the airport today, arriving on a flight from Lima with a six-hour stopover. If I was coming in from Santiago, it’s about a 20-minute taxi ride from the city to the airport.
Even if you’re not travelling business class, if you have a stopover of more than a few hours, splash out the $US60 for access to the new LATAM VIP lounge. Here you’ll be able to enjoy excellent drinks, good-quality food, showers, comfortable seats, rest areas, a TV room and even a children’s play area. Well worth it for longer enforced stops.
