1 hour connection in SCL
Will I make it?
I'm doing MDZ-SCL in LAN and SCL-GRU in TM (codeshare with LAN so I'll be ticketed since MDZ)...Do I have to go through inmigration?

1 hour int'l/int'l is a comfortable SCL connection. Quick transit security station, then right back upstairs to departures. I don't know if it has ever taken me more than 10 minutes from leaving the plane to the departures level. And then, if you walk incredibly slowly, you aren't more than 10 minutes from any gate.

Dom / Intl transfer would be tight for 1 hour, IMO. We just did IPC-SCL-JFK which was blocked as a 2 hour cxn. But a delay out of IPC cut our connection to about 1.5 hours, which we found fairly tight. The immigration line was easily 15 mins long. And it was a fair walk just to get there.
Now we did manage to squeeze 10 minutes in the LAN lounge before scurrying down to our gate, so it did work out.
