Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport

The airport operates with distinct terminal areas for larger international services and a separate domestic/low‑cost terminal area used by some local carriers. Check‑in, security and baggage reclaim are organised by terminal; low‑cost carriers commonly use a different hall or satellite area, so verify your airline’s assigned terminal before travel.
