Why book domestic flights in Chile?

Chile is one of the longest countries in the world, so flying is often the fastest and most convenient way to travel between destinations.


Because of its unusually long and narrow shape, navigating Chile by road can be challenging and time-consuming.


Domestic flights can help you save time, avoid long road journeys, and reach remote regions more easily, whether you’re exploring the Atacama Desert in the north or Patagonia in the south.


Additionally, if you’re heading to Easter Island, you’ll need to do so by air, as the island is extremely isolated and halfway across the Pacific Ocean.

Frequently asked questions

What is the baggage allowance on domestic flights within Chile?

Baggage allowance depends on the airline you are flying with and the airport you are flying from. Baggage allowance will be confirmed during the booking process, when it will also be possible to add extra baggage to your booking if required (airline-depending). Be sure to check your baggage allowance with the airline you are travelling with directly or look at your e-ticket as sometimes the routes and aircraft that you may be flying on may mean the baggage allowance varies. It will also be important to check the width, height and length restrictions of the baggage before you arrive at the airport, or you may be charged an excess baggage fee.

What time do I need to check-in at the airport for domestic flights in Chile?

Check-in times vary and are based on the airline you are flying with and the airport you are flying from.
