Domestic and internal flights in Chile

Chile stretches more than 4,000 kilometres along the Pacific coast, so domestic flying is essential for moving between the north, centre and Patagonian south. Airlines flying within Chile include LATAM, Sky Airline and JetSMART, with daily flights linking the capital to the Atacama Desert in the north and the lakes and glaciers of the south. Most travellers fly domestic to cover the country's extreme length without days of bus travel or to reach Patagonia and Easter Island. If you’re flexible, our travel hacks show how small changes, mid-week dates, alternative airports, off-peak hours, often reveal noticeably cheaper domestic fares.

The cheapest domestic flights in Chile often come from flying on weekends rather than mid-week, avoiding the December–February summer peak when Patagonia and the central coast fill up, and booking early for the Atacama and Easter Island where seats are limited and sell out fast. Based on Kiwi.com booking data, Saturday departures within Chile were on average 10% cheaper than Wednesday departures between May 2025 and April 2026, Saturday is the cheapest day to fly domestically, Wednesday the priciest. Set price alerts for the route you want and book the moment the fare drops, and check our travel hacks for more tips on finding budget domestic fares without compromising on schedule.
