Recent Traveller Feedback
Flew JetSMART from Santiago to Buenos Aires on a Smart fare. Brought a small 45 cm personal bag plus a 55 cm cabin roller. Together they weighed about 9 kg under the 10 kg combined limit. Gate staff at SCL were checking sizes with the sizer so I made sure both bags fit properly. Budget airline experience overall.
Booked JetSMART Plus from Santiago to Lima so one checked bag was included. Mine weighed 22 kg which was under the 23 kg limit and measured about 152 cm linear. Check-in was straightforward and the bag arrived on the belt in LIM without any issues. Good value for a South American budget carrier.
Departed Santiago Arturo Merino Benitez Airport on JetSMART. Standard 100 ml liquid rule at security, all toiletries inside the clear plastic bag. Security line moved at a reasonable pace. Duty-free purchases after security stayed sealed with the receipt as required for connecting flights.
