Most major international airlines have offices in Santiago and offer regular flights to and from Santiago's international airport.
Domestic Flights
Domestic air travel grows more popular every year, thanks to the Chile's geography and the excellent reputation of its domestic airlines. There are three major domestic carriers: LAN Airlines, Sky Airlines, and Aerolineas Sur.
Discover Chile by plane - domestic airline routes bring travelers to beautiful deserts and salt flats of the North to the breathtaking South full of expansive forests, temperate jungles, fjords and sparkling glaciers.
LAN is the most comprehensive carrier,
offering low airfare to all the above destinations. Sky Air will fly to
most of these destinations (it's worth checking their website regularly
before booking). Aerolineas Sur has the most limited domestic service -
flying only to Antofagasta, Puerto Montt,Punta Arenas and Iquique.
LAN used to be the only option for domestic air travel in Chile. But in the past few years two airlines have begun to compete for Chilean routes, substantially lowering airfares for domestic trips. While LAN still offers some of the lowest fares, it is no longer the only option for air travel here.
Here's a list of the domestic airlines in Chile:
LAN Airlines
