Having finished my trip in Buenos Aires I am making my way to Santiago. There are two airports in the city – AEP, which is rather central, mainly focuses on domestic and short-haul international flights, whereas more flights depart from the remote EZE. The time difference to travel to by car though isn’t significant, so I chose EZE which has a more friendly departure time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All international-bound passengers need to clear emigration first before arriving into the waiting hall. Terminal A and B are linked, so you should be access any lounges no matter what your gate is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a Star Alliance lounge near Gate 9 which is open to Priority Pass members. Dragonpass on the other hand works with VIP Club – confusingly it has the Visa Signature brand, but when I try to enter with one (Chase Sapphire Preferred) it’s not accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n

Surprisingly there’s an Amex Centurion Lounge as well near Gate 15. Follow the sign upstairs and you’ll see the familiar logo.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

It’s opposite to the Aerolineas Argentinas Lounge (Skyteam).<\/p>\n\n\n

Entering the lounge you’ll first come across the working area.<\/p>\n\n\n

If you’ve been to a Centurion lounge before the living wall and wall of suitcases shouldn’t be new to you. <\/p>\n\n\n

Moving on there’s the station for snacks and drinks with a posh Nespresso machine. There are some sandwich for grab-to-go. <\/p>\n\n\n

You can help yourselves to all the alfajors in the fridge, an Argentinian dessert specialty.<\/p>\n\n\n

The American Express Centurion Lounge at Santiago airport is very new and spacious with all the facilities you need to either work or rest. However, there’s no hot food provided, so don’t expect to have a nice meal here before your flight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
