Spending the Night at the Airport
The terminals at Santiago Airport remain open 24 hours, so it is possible to spend the night if you have a canceled flight, a long layover, or an early morning departure. For a more comfortable rest, it is recommended to bring earplugs and an eye mask, as the environment can be noisy and brightly lit.
Rest Areas
- Public Areas (before security): You will find seats in the departure areas of both terminals. The atmosphere is usually quieter at night, although with fewer comfortable seating options.
- Boarding Areas (after security): This is where the largest number of seats are located, some of them without armrests. The VIP lounges are the best option for quality rest; several operate 24 hours (Salón VIP Pacific Club in T1, and LATAM Lounge, Primeclass Andes, and SkyTeam Lounge in T2) and offer sofas and a much quieter environment.
Services Available Overnight
If you need to spend the night at the airport, keep in mind that several key services continue to operate 24/7:
- Food and Drink: There are several cafes and restaurants open all night in both terminals.
- Wi-Fi: The connection is free and unlimited throughout the airport.
- Baggage Storage: You can store your bags at the luggage storage service, which operates 24 hours on the first level of Terminal 1.
- Showers: Available only inside the VIP lounges.
- Currency Exchange and ATMs: Basic financial services remain available without interruption.
