Disculpe, con permiso, and perdón
I understand that all three of these terms can replace the English phrase “excuse me”. However, I am a little confused about when the best time to use each one is.
My current understanding is:
Disculpe - trying to get attention of someone (eg. your servers attention at a restaurant)
Con permiso - translates to “with permission” and is used when passing by someone
Perdón - can be used for any form of excuse me?
Can you also say “disculpe” when passing by someone? Thanks for your help!

.- When calling for attention:
Perdone. Disculpe. Por favor. Perdón.
.- to ask for a space (interrupt a line, or things like that) Permiso or Con permiso, Disculpe, perdón, perdone (you would use here "excuse me")
.- If you want to say you are sorry:
Lo siento. Disculpe. Excúseme. Perdón. Lo lamento.

En Chile:
-Permiso/¿Me da(s) permiso? (when passing by someone)
-Disculpe/a: yes, trying to get someone's attention or interrupting.
-Perdón/perdona/e, Perdóna/e-me, Disculpa/e-me: 1.Apologizing but also disculpa works for this. 2. Desagreeing.
Examples:
(At a restaurant) -Disculpa/e, me traes sal par favor.
(Apologizing)- Quiero disculparme/Quiero pedir disculpas por llegar tarde, disculpa/e por llegar tarde or Quiero pedir perdón por el error que cometí. Perdón/a/e/ame/eme por el error que cometí. *Yes, I would use "perdón" for something worse*
(Disagreeing)- Disculpa/disculpe/discúlpame/discúlpeme or Perdón/perdona/perdone/perdóname/perdóneme pero no estoy de acuerdo con la medida.
