I am in LATAM VIP lounge now. While it is very reasonable in size and got a lot of amenities, it’s rather weak in hot food selection (I managed to find an oven with quiche and baked rice after two hours of searching, and was even more amazed as they have got three different kinds of cheese and cold cut, six different cakes, good collection of ice cream but... no hot food???) The wine collection is wide, including
Preferential check in
Private toilets
No hot food?
Good wine collection
Really good
Really great
real coffee.
Photo copier
Sleep area
Entertainment area
Huge shower room
Maipu selections. However they’re not top grade so I went back to my favourite bailey’s on rock. If you want to use the shower you will really need to be early to the lounge as over ten passgers waiting for maybe one or two slots. There is a sleeping area with four beds, no rooms though in a Bangkok massage shop setting; an entertainment room with kids yelling to a big TV screen; and a good photocopying machine that does the job if you want to take a copy of LATAM’s thermal paper boarding pass.
Overall reminded me the MH lounge, huge lounge but with limited budget for decor. Yes, I am spoiled with some of the top OW lounges such as the two CX Fs in Hong Kong, QR Al Safwa, and BA Concorde room.

@HypnoticSpecter: Despite any limitations of the LATAM lounge, readers should be aware that it is a far better atmosphere than the AA lounge.

It's a nice lounge but seems to me to have gone downhill a bit over the past couple of years in terms of food offerings.

Sorry, to clarify: I was asking about the dedicated check-in channel that funnels pax directly into the lounge, not about actually accessing the lounge once airside.

The lounge is airside. Seems to me that there is security checkpoint on the second level near the checkin desk. Not sure how you access it though. SCL is very efficient at checkin so doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

I think the dedicated check in upstairs may only be for LATAM flights - I usually check in with Qantas downstairs in the main hall and use the priority security line upstairs with direct access to the lounge.

You can use the immigration counter at the second floor after the LATAM priority check in just before the lounge, this is not restricted for use by LATAM elites/business passengers, just go straight when you get to LATAM preferred check in area; AA check in is downstairs though.

Visited the LATAM lounge at SCL today for the first time. It's a nice space with lots of seats, power sockets and views but food and drink is a bit disappointing. Champagne no longer available, only a Chilean sparkling now.
