The facilities are good. But the staff are great. Very helpful and in my case at LATAM their English language skills were perfect. The duty free shopping is pretty good too. The food and service at Loyola is great 👍
It’s one of the best airports in South America, clean, spacious, and fairly fast to ho through. Lots of work still to be done, and quite expensive with souvenirs almost 5 times more expensive than in downtown. Don’t leave your last minute shopping for the airport!
!!! ATTENTION: Taxi scammers !!!
Only take taxis that you ordered yourself (don’t accept if someone approaches you at the exit) !!! Best is to take Uber.
For the airport-organisation: please fight against the scammers. They destroy the reputation of the entire country Chile!

I flew in here on a Saturday morning in August. There were hardly any queues. The airport itself was on the smaller side. Not a lot to do here, but my journey through the airport was seamless. For the lack of stress 5/5.
The airport is nice, clean and attractive.
Unfortunately we had issues using cash at departures and also exchanging cash and both times the Chilean airport staff (MCDonalds and Cambio) expected us to pay more because they didn’t have the change available.
Being the departure gate we obviously wanted to use the last of our Chilean pesos but were advised that they don’t have change to give because cards are now typically used.
It wasn’t a big deal but a bit disappointing.
Also, would be nice if ground staff smiled a little and helped guests to feel welcome in a foreign country.

A very clean and well laid out airport. The only drawback was the exceptionally long line in customs. Be sure to allow you and your party time to get through security as it took much longer than most airports. Once you’re through security, the airport is easy to navigate with plenty of gift shops and restaurants to choose from.
Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport in Santiago, Chile, is an above-average airport with clean facilities, spacious concourses, and helpful signage in both Spanish and English. Customs lines move quickly, though there are over-eager taxi drivers outside. Overall, a comfortable and efficient travel experience.
