Edit ThisComodoro Arturo Merino Benitez is Chile's international airport, located 21 kilometers (13 miles) from downtown Santiago. Taxis are plentiful from the airport. Fares range from $15 to $20 to most downtown destinations. Buses, as well as shuttle services are also available. Buses operate 24 hours a day, servicing major points from the airport to the city center and costing a measly $2. For a few more dollars, you can ride a shuttle or a minibus, which can drop you at the doorstep of your requested address. Average travel time from the airport to the city center is an hour and a half.
