Cheap Flights to Chile

Which airlines operate flights to Chile?

The airlines that are available to you when you’re booking your flights to Chile will all depend on what airport you are departing from and where in Chile you want to go. Easter Island for example is only reachable from either Santiago or Tahiti, both offering just one flight a day. From Santiago the only airline that operates the route is LAN. To other areas of Chile you’ll be able to find flight tickets from British Airways, LAN, American, Air Europa and Air Canada to name a few. Due to the distance you’ll more than likely be combining a couple of airlines together to complete the journey, which isn’t always a bad thing. By comparing different airlines together you can figure out who provides you with the best value for money and will help you find the cheapest flights to Chile.

How to get from the airport to the city centre?

Santiago:

Getting from the airport in Santiago isn’t necessarily a difficult task although you are slightly limited on your options. The most convenient way to get into the city is via a taxi. Once you go through customs you’ll find some taxi counters. From here you’ll want to buy a flat-rate ticket. Generally all the pricing is competitive and rather similar although you might be able to barter down the price slightly. You can usually expect to pay between 13,000 CLP – 30,000 CLP (£15.00-£35.00) for the journey. Once you’ve paid for your ticket, the firm you are travelling with will usually escort you into the main lobby and help you find a designated driver. This is to prevent people from getting into cabs who aren’t legitimate so don’t worry. Another option is to go to one of the bus firm counters, there are a few available and they will be cheaper than the taxi. That said, it is worth pre-arranging bus transport at least 24 hours before your flights to Chile.

Easter Island:

Easter Island is a very limited place to visit. It takes an incredible amount of time to get there and once you land you’re only option of transportation is a taxi. You can find them outside of the airport and the distance isn’t far at all. A lot of people tend to either hire a 4×4 so they can easily find their way around the island and all of its amazing ruins and monuments, although paying for a guided tour is recommended so that you don’t miss out on anything. You can rent a vehicle from the airport but this is best arranging in advance when you are booking your flights to Chile.
