About flights to Chile
Overview
Chile is a ribbon of a country running some 4,300 km down the western edge of South America, taking in the driest desert on earth, the wine valleys around the capital and the wild peaks of Patagonia. For UK travellers the entry point is nearly always Santiago, a modern capital framed by the Andes. Comparing fares in one place makes it easier to lock down the right flight for such a long-haul trip.
Best time to fly to Chile
Chile's seasons are the reverse of ours. Its summer, from December to February, is the best time for Patagonia and the Lake District, though also the busiest and dearest. The shoulder months of spring (October–November) and autumn (March–April) bring pleasant weather across the central regions and often easier fares. The price charts on this page show the cheapest dates for your route.
Main gateway cities & airports
The principal gateway is Santiago Arturo Merino Benítez (SCL), which handles almost all international arrivals. From there domestic flights reach Calama (CJC) for the Atacama Desert, Punta Arenas (PUQ) for Patagonia, and the remote Easter Island (IPC).
Airlines and routes
There are no direct flights from the UK to Chile, so journeys involve one connection. Common routings include British Airways and Iberia (via Madrid), Air France (via Paris), KLM (via Amsterdam), Latam and US carriers. Total journey times from London are typically around 16–19 hours depending on the layover. Comparing carriers for your exact dates is the surest way to secure the best value.
Popular places to visit in Chile

- The Atacama Desert: lunar landscapes, salt flats and clear night skies
- Santiago & the wine valleys: the capital and nearby Maipo and Casablanca vineyards
- Valparaíso: a colourful, bohemian port city of steep hills

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Chile
- Book two to four months ahead for this long-haul route.
- Travel in the shoulder seasons and avoid the December–February peak.
- Compare different European and US hubs — the routing can change the fare.
- Be flexible with dates; midweek departures are often cheaper.
Travel essentials
- Visa: UK travellers do not need a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days
- Currency: the Chilean peso (CLP)
- When to book: check the price charts on this page for the cheapest days
Baggage & hand-luggage allowance for flights to Chile
Your allowance to Chile depends on the airline and the fare you book. The table below shows typical long-haul allowances so you know roughly what to expect — always confirm the exact limits with your airline before you fly.
| Fare type | Hand baggage | Checked baggage |
|---|---|---|
| Basic / Light economy | 1 small under-seat bag | Usually none — add for a fee |
| Standard economy | 1 cabin bag + 1 personal item | Typically 1 × 23 kg |
| Premium economy | 1–2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 23 kg |
| Business / First | 2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 32 kg |
Indicative only. Allowances vary by airline, route and fare — always check your airline's baggage policy.
Packing & baggage tips
- Full-service carriers (e.g. British Airways, Turkish Airlines, KLM) usually include a checked bag on long-haul economy fares; basic/low-cost fares often don't.
- Cabin (hand) bag size is commonly around 56 × 45 × 25 cm — confirm your airline's limit before you pack.
- Liquids in hand luggage must be in containers of 100 ml or less, inside one clear resealable bag.
- Weigh your bags at home — airport excess-baggage fees are far higher than pre-booked allowances.
- Extra or heavier bags are almost always cheaper added online in advance than at the airport.
