Visitor Pass Program

If applying in advance: Please make your reservation at least 24 hours in advance of your visit. You’ll receive an email with your approval status and further instructions prior to your visit.

If applying for same-day admittance: You’ll receive an email with your approval status and further instructions within two hours of submission. LAN also accepts walk-in appointments in the Airport Operations Department. Please note that walk-ins will have a 10-15 minute processing window before using your pass for your information to be available in the system.

• LAN Visitor Passes will only be issued between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday-Friday. Passes will not be issued for admittance on Saturday or Sunday.
• LAN Visitor Passes will only be accepted at the TSA security screening checkpoint until 4 p.m. or until the checkpoint closes, whichever is sooner, Monday-Friday.

Picking up your pass when you arrive at the airport:

1. Park in the short-term parking lot. Parking rates will apply. Visit our Parking & Transportation page for details on rates.
2. Go to the Airport Operations Department, located on the second floor of the terminal, on the day of your visit to pick up your LAN Visitor Pass. Take the elevators inside the main entrance to the second floor, and the Airport Operations Department will be the last door at the end of the hall on the right. 
3. Present your TSA-approved ID to the Operations Department personnel to obtain your LAN Visitor Pass. You MUST present a valid TSA-approved ID to obtain your pass and proceed through security. No exceptions. 
4. Proceed through the TSA Security Checkpoint on the main floor of the terminal with your TSA-approved ID. You will be required to pass through the TSA screening checkpoint following all TSA policies and procedures, regardless of your TSA status (removing shoes, passing any personal items through screening, etc.) Passes are only valid for four hours.
