What is the best and cheapest way to get to the airport from the Cathedral?

The cheapest way is to take the bus, though it goes via the railway station

The best way is to take a taxi

3 € bus.
21 € taxi.

Busstop at Plaza Galicia, 600 metres from cathedral.

The bus was easy, peasy ...

During the bus strike last year I walked to the airport. It cost me a slice of Santiago cake and a café con leche!

...and depending on what part of town you're staying in it's not that far to walk to the bus station but Plaza Galicia is probably you're best option. Buses are regular but no harm to check in advance

as stated already...3 euro bus from Plaza Galicia
If you need assistance locating it or anything in Santiago, just go to the tourism office, which is very near to the cathedral. They are very helpful there and gracious and they will also stamp your pilgrim's passport.

Bus is very convenient. I've walked it!

We've all walked it once, albeit in the opposite direction

I just prefer not to walk it a second tine!

Bus from the main square and it's cheap!

So last year on my way out in a taxi I realized I left my last remaining m95 mask on a table outside my hotel near the Cathedral. Nice taxi driver drove me around Santiago until we found a farmacia open. He pulled to the curb on the third attempt, I came back with new masks.
