I really can't take any longer on this trip and there is no flight the following day. We can be fast on our feet and all being well, we should be at the airport by 1000, but if things went wonky, would rocking up at say 1130 still be doable?
I flew out of SCL in October on Iberia, on a flight departing at midday. I arrived at the airport at around 10:00 (so two hours before scheduled departure) and the check in area. had a very long queue. The exit passport queue and security were quiet and I found I had around 20 minutes in the lounge before boarding. I understand from colleagues that use SCL more frequently than me that the exit passeport queue can be very long.
