Business class services SCL
Hi,
I have seen on OW website that SCL has Fast track service for emerald oax traveling LATAM, this is correct, it's only for international or for national flight. Where is this access. There is a immigration line for business class.
If I travel in a domestic flight can I check in the business class LATAM area, I read that this counters are located in a specific zone.

The walk over to the premium check-in is probably not worth the walk. It is at the far left end of the terminal, and after check-in/bag drop, you're routed right to the "private" passport control and security (which you cant use for national flights).
The national side of the airport is on the far right end. They try and get everyone to use kiosks for check in and then you go to a bag drop agent.

Hi,
I don't have any status in OW but will be travelling with LATAM in J from SCL to LIM. Will I be allowed to use fast track to security control in SCL? My flight is at 9:00 am, so fast track would be useful service

Absolutely. Ask to be dropped in the very last gate on the departures level. You will se an elevator and escalators taking you up to the fourth level where the preferente check-in is located.

Thank you very much
I've one more question... I'll be staying close to the airport before this flight. I have two bookings: a) Holiday Inn and b) Hilton Garden Inn. I know that the first one is within walking distance from the airport but being Hilton Honors diamond I'd prefer to stay in the second one. Do you know, if there's major difference between these two hotels, as regards time required to get to the airport (walking in case of H. Inn and by shuttle bus in case of HGI)?

Huge difference. The Holiday Inn takes 15 seconds to get to the terminal and you can leave whenever you want. The HGI is a 10 minute ride away and the shuttle is only every 30 mins

I felt that I would have been better off using the regular passport control?

Is there any point to using this? Last week I did, around lunchtime and there was 1 Policeman manning the passport control, and it took about 25 minutes to get through with the line 2 rows deep? Didn't help there was a change over of the staff manning the one booth, and there was clearly no rush being taken.

I have complained to LATAM about it a few times, but they claim that the have no influence on how many PDI officers are at the "fast-track". Early mornings and evenings are the worst. However, it is not consistent. Sometimes there are huge lines and only 1 officer and other times, there are 3 guys...
