Santiago’s main gateway is Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International (SCL), the country’s largest international hub handling most long-haul and regional flights and commonly served by full-service carriers as well as several low-cost airlines. It sits about 15–20 km northwest of downtown Santiago, with travel times typically ranging from 20–45 minutes by taxi or ride‑share depending on traffic; airport shuttles and the Line 1 metro extension plus bus services can also connect you in roughly 30–60 minutes for modest fares.
