Editorial snapshot
Flying to Chile rewards the traveller who plans ahead. Fares from North America and Europe tend to be reasonable outside of the Southern Hemisphere summer (December to February), when prices climb and seats on popular routes fill fast. It suits the explorer more than the beach-hopper — think trekking permits, glacier hikes, and pisco sours at altitude. Book 10 to 14 weeks out for the best fare-to-seat combination.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
The shoulder months of April, May, and September offer the most competitive fares to Chile, with fewer crowds and stable weather in Santiago and the Lake District. Avoid December through February if budget is a concern — Southern Hemisphere summer drives fares up sharply, especially for Patagonia-bound routes.

IATA: SCL · 16 km from Santiago city centre · 20 km from Providencia
SCL is Chile's main international gateway and one of the most efficient airports in South America. The international terminal (Terminal 1) handles all major carriers including LATAM, American Airlines, and Copa Airlines, while Terminal 2 serves domestic and some regional routes. Immigration queues are generally manageable outside peak summer months, and the baggage claim is well-organised.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Centropuerto Bus | CLP 2,700 | 45-60 min to city centre |
| Transvip Shared Shuttle | CLP 7,000-12,000 | 30-50 min to Providencia |

IATA: PUQ · 20 km from Punta Arenas city centre
PUQ is the main gateway for travellers heading to Chilean Patagonia, Torres del Paine, and the Strait of Magellan. LATAM operates regular connections from Santiago, and the airport is small but functional.

| Taxi / Remis | CLP 10,000-15,000 | 20-25 min to city centre |
