REVIEW: SkyTeam Santiago de Chile (SCL) Lounge

SkyTeam has four lounges in Vancouver, Dubai, Sydney, and Santiago de Chile, all locations that don’t have a local alliance airline.

I was in the Santiago de Chile lounge during the early morning hours last Saturday, when it was rather empty, and was able to snap a few photos. This lounge is also available through Priority Pass and Lounge Key networks (check their apps or websites for entry requirements and hours).

You can access SkyTeam’s page for lounges here.

Location:

The lounge is on the E-pier, which is a bit of a hike after you enter the international area of the airport after passport control and security check.

Entry:

The agent was confused by my entry and had to confirm with her colleague if I could visit. I was flying on Aerolineas Argentinas in Premium Economy with a Flying Blue Platinum status, which maps to SkyTeam Elite Plus (certainly lounge access eligible).

Breakfast:

The only hot option beyond some soup and toast was scrambled eggs, which could be ordered using the QR code.

Bar:

The bar area is located right when you enter the lounge, but it was closed at the time I visited, early in the morning.

Lounge:

There is a small designated VIP area (not sure who is eligible for this).

They had a laptop station with a printer.

There is an area with three chairs where guests can have a nap.

Conclusion

The main lounge at SCL airport is the LATAM one, which is the “flag” carrier of Chile. Four SkyTeam airlines serve Santiago: Aerolineas Argentinas, Air France, Delta, and KLM.

I am not a huge fan of the color scheme of this Santiago lounge, but overall, it gets the job done.

There are four piers at SCL, and I assume that the airport and these four airlines have coordinated their gates to be at the E pier, where the lounge is located.
