I agree with virtualtroy, although judging from my experience today, if one isn't persistent in speaking to the right people, you won't have access to the lounge.

Prior to joining the check-in lines, we asked the lady at the entrance to the lines if we could get access to the lounge. Her response was that it was not possible. She suggested we ask at the Comodoros check-in. When our turn came up in the Comodoros line, the open desk was down to the right from the actual Comodoros check-in desk.

At the completion of check-in, when I asked about getting our BP's stamped to get thru immigration, all we received was a blank look and a "That's not possible for a domestic flight." When I mentioned that I "spoke" to someone who recently accessed the lounge while on this flight, again he replied a little more forcefully that this was a domestic flight and there was no domestic lounge at SCL. When I pointed out once again, that I spoke to someone who recently accessed the lounge while on the Easter Island flight, he gave up and suggested I speak to the Comodoros check-in agent.

At the Comodoros desk, there was no problem. The lady quickly stamped our BP's "Isla de Pascua" in big bold red ink, and "Access to Salon VIP" was written in pen. We were off to immigration to see how our luck would hold up.

The first immigration officer looked puzzled when he handed him our BP's. He asked the officer next to him if this was possible. I understood the first part of the response "Si", but didn't quite get the rest of it. Our immigration officer didn't quite believe his colleague, so a supervisor was called in. Again, the same resonse was understood "Si", and we were thru.

I am typing this form the Neruda Lounge in SCL (with a glass of great Carmenere at my side!). Proof position that with a little persistence, you can get in to the lounges on the SCL flight.
