Editorial snapshot
Flying to Santiago rewards the traveller who books early and travels light on assumptions. Fares from North America dip noticeably in the Chilean winter (June through August), when the city is quiet but entirely functional. The Andes are the real draw — ski season runs July to September. For wine lovers, the Maipo and Casablanca valleys are essentially on the doorstep. Best suited to curious, independent travellers who want a South American capital without the chaos.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
Santiago's fare calendar flips the northern-hemisphere logic: peak prices hit in January and February (Chilean summer and school holidays) and again in July for ski season. The sweet spot for budget travellers is April through June, when demand drops and fares from North American hubs can fall 25–35% below the annual average.
| Month | Price Band | Demand | Travel note |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | Peak | High | Chilean summer holidays; book 10+ weeks ahead for best fares. |
| February | Peak | High | Harvest season begins; Viña del Mar Festival draws large crowds. |
| March | Mid | Medium | Grape harvest in Maipo Valley; warm weather, easing crowds. |
| April | Budget | Low | Autumn foliage in the Andes; excellent value fares available. |
| May | Budget | Low | Low season; mild weather, fewer tourists, best street food prices. |
| June | Budget | Low | Coldest month; ideal for budget travellers, city museums shine. |
| July | Peak | High | Ski season peaks at Valle Nevado; book flights and lodging early. |
| August | Mid | Medium | Ski season winds down; fares ease slightly mid-month. |
| September | Mid | Medium | Chile's Independence Day (18 Sep); expect domestic travel surges. |
| October | Mid | Medium | Spring arrives; pleasant temperatures and blooming Andes foothills. |
| November | Mid | Medium | Pre-summer shoulder; good balance of price and weather. |
| December | Peak | High | Holiday travel and Southern Hemisphere summer; fares spike fast. |

IATA: SCL · 17 km from Santiago city centre · 20 km from Providencia
SCL is Chile's main international hub, handling virtually all long-haul and regional arrivals. The airport operates two terminals — Terminal 1 for international and most domestic flights, Terminal 2 for low-cost carriers including JetSmart. Arrivals are generally smooth, though immigration queues can build during peak summer months; the automated e-gate lanes move considerably faster for eligible passport holders.
