Lounge access with LATAM domestic flights departing Santiago

[fuelforlife]

I've read the blog regarding lounge access for Qantas FF with gold or platinum status flying on LATAM flights without a QF number. but does this apply to domestic flights? The blog says that Qantas FFs can use LATAM lounges if they are operated by LATAM (ie not partner lounges) but does this only apply to international flights? Our domestic flights are premium economy, but I think LATAM premium economy passengers only get lounge access for international flights.
Has anyone had experience with LATAM flying domestically within Chile or to Buenos Aires?

It's my understanding that LATAM does not have any domestic lounges. All of their lounges are on the international departures side meaning you would need to hold a ticket for a flight departing from the international terminal. So my "solution" as my partner and I had a number of domestic sectors ( GRU > FLN on LA, XAP > PFB on AD, PFB > GRU on LA) was to make use of the lounge membership perk that comes with my AmEx Platinum card. So it might make sense to look around and see if you can get a cheap (or better yet no annual fee) card that gets you lounge access through Priority Pass or a similar such program. Keep in mind too that not every airport will have a lounge. There certainly wasn't a lounge in PFB.
