Santiago is served primarily by Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL), the country’s main international hub handling most long-haul and regional flights and a focus for full-service carriers as well as low-cost airlines. Located about 16–20 km northwest of downtown, travel time to the city center is typically 20–40 minutes by taxi or ride-hailing, 30–50 minutes by airport bus, and around 40–60 minutes using public transit connections once metro extensions are considered; fares can range from modest bus tickets to higher taxi and ride-share fares. SCL is generally well-equipped with lounges and dining options but can be busy during peak periods; it’s convenient for international connections, while travelers on tight budgets may find cheaper fares on low-cost carriers operating here. Santiago also sees occasional domestic-focused services from smaller fields or secondary terminals that can be used for regional hops; these facilities usually cater to budget and regional carriers and can be closer to suburban neighborhoods. Ground transport options vary and may be simpler for short domestic transfers, though amenities can be more basic than at the main international terminal. Such terminals are practical for quick domestic links but may have fewer dining and lounge choices and limited late-night services compared with the primary airport.

Rio de Janeiro is served primarily by two airports with different roles. Rio–Galeão (GIG) is the main international gateway and tends to host legacy carriers and long-haul flights, while Santos Dumont (SDU) sits much closer to downtown and typically handles domestic and regional services, often flown by full-service and low-cost regional airlines. Galeão is about 20–25 km from the city center; journey times by taxi or rideshare are usually 30–60 minutes depending on traffic, with airport express buses and an expanding rail connection offering lower-cost options. Santos Dumont sits roughly 2–7 km from central neighborhoods, reachable in 10–25 minutes by taxi or metro, making it convenient for business travelers but smaller and sometimes busier during peak hours. Fares can vary widely with traffic and carrier choice; expect airport transfer costs to range from budget bus fares to higher taxi or app-based fares. Pros: Galeão provides broad international connectivity and more amenities, while Santos Dumont offers unbeatable proximity to downtown; cons: Galeão can be farther and affected by traffic, and Santos Dumont is limited in long-haul options and space.
