I'll be traveling to Buenos Aires and (maybe) Santiago. I'm Platinum, have AC Membership and will be booked in Business. What lounges will I have access to at each location?

Thanks.

Regardless of your AC membership, your being Platinum and flying international will entitle you to any OW Lounge access throughout your itinerary. Your flying Business would allow you to Arrivals.. but there aren't any where you're travelling to.

In Santiago you can relax at AA AC, LA lounges or both !

So on an itinerary of ORD-GIG (via MIA) would I have lounge access in ORD and MIA or just MIA?

If it's all connections you're welcome both at ORD and MIA, based on your AA Platinum, at any Admirals Club; If you're connecting in GRU, there you're also welcome. Were you EXP you'd be welcome at the Flagship Lounge in ORD.

Enjoy !

If you drink alcohol, make sure you have a pisco sour at the SCL LAN lounge.

I am flying J to SCL via DFW. Are there OW lounges better than the AC's in DFW?

Beware, there are two LAN lounges at SCL: Mistral and Neruda. Make sure you go to the Neruda one, which is further away. It is worth the extra walk!

We're still just talking about cold cuts and cheese-- I like the lounge, but I wouldn't describe it as having tasty food by any measure.

The Lan Neruda Lounge is at Gate 20; Where's the Lan Mistral lounge ?
