If you're planning to visit Easter Island, flights from Santiago are often cheaper when booked with a LATAM international ticket.
Flights from the US and Canada
American Airlines, Delta, and LATAM offer nonstop flights from US cities like Miami, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Atlanta. It's also possible to fly via Colombia, Peru, or Brazil. Expect to pay $950-1600 in high season.
From Canada, Air Canada and LATAM fly from Toronto to Santiago, with high-season fares ranging from C$1450-1800. However, it’s often cheaper to fly via the US.
Flights from the UK and Ireland
British Airways operates direct flights from London to Santiago, but traveling via Madrid, Buenos Aires, or the US is often cheaper. LATAM, Iberia, and Air France also offer connecting flights. Expect to pay £900-1200 during peak season. Even the shortest indirect routes take at least 16 hours, while US layovers add even more travel time.
Flights from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa
Qantas and LATAM provide direct flights from Sydney and Auckland, with high-season fares ranging from A$2500-4500 or NZ$3000-4400. Indirect flights through Los Angeles or South America are often cheaper.

Round-the-world tickets
If Chile is part of a longer trip, a round-the-world (RTW) ticket could be a cost-effective option. Prices start around £2400, and airlines like British Airways, LATAM, Iberia, and Qantas participate in these ticket networks. Companies like Trailfinders and Round The World Flights can help tailor a Chile itinerary.
