WiFi & Connectivity
Stay connected at Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport — free WiFi, eSIM options and local data for Chile.
Airport WiFi at SCL
Entel, Movistar Chile, Claro and WOM all cover the airport and greater Santiago well; any of the major eSIM resellers piggybacks on one of these networks, and it's worth activating before landing since Chile's mobile data is inexpensive and reliable citywide.
The rebuilt T2 terminal (fully operational since 2023) is large and modern, so wifi generally holds up fine for basic browsing — treat it as a backup rather than your primary connection if you need anything bandwidth-heavy.
