LATAM VIP Lounge at Santiago Airport
The LATAM lounge has three separate lounges, exclusively for Elite LATAM Pass customers. The Premium Lounge is for Platinum-category LATAM Pass customers, or if you are traveling in the Premium Economy LATAM cabin. The Signature Lounge is for Black Signature and Black-category LATAM Pass customers, as well as passengers in the Premium Business LATAM cabin. And finally, the WorldMember Lounge is for WorldMember or WorldMember Limited Santander customers.
I was in the Signature Lounge and the space is quite spacious, with indirect lighting, providing passengers with a feeling of comfort and rest. In the central area, there are two large modules, with armchairs and side tables. In addition, there are several comfortable armchairs distributed along the side aisles, which have side tables and power outlets. At the back of the room, near the bar and buffet, there are several tables and chairs for meals.

For travelers who want to rest before their flight, the lounge has more private and quiet rest areas. Furthermore, for those traveling with children, there are entertainment areas with televisions and rooms with toys.
The LATAM Lounge in Santiago is famous for a reason. It really is a very different experience in terms of service, comfort and food and drink options. It is worth a visit for anyone passing through Santiago on an international flight!

Food and Drinks
Since I was in the lounge at lunchtime, there was a buffet with several options for lunch. There was a variety of salads, soups, ricotta pancakes, meat and pasta options. In addition, there was a delicious selection of charcuterie with cheeses and cold cuts.
In other parts of the lounge, it was possible to help yourself to savory snacks, burgers and a variety of desserts, including ice cream options in a minibar.
The bar had a wide range of alcoholic beverages, including a selection of premium drinks such as Chilean wines, sparkling wines and beer, and the option of requesting local drinks such as pisco sours. Non-alcoholic drinks included still and sparkling water, soft drinks and even a machine to make fresh orange juice.
