Baggage, seats and classes on the Santiago to Punta Arenas flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Santiago to Punta Arenas. Full-service fares typically include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy

How much is a flight from Santiago to Punta Arenas?

The cost of a flight from Santiago to Punta Arenas depends on the date, the time of day, the carrier, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we verify the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost on WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Santiago to Punta Arenas flight is often not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Santiago to Punta Arenas: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from Santiago to Punta Arenas is normally booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our team applies on every booking:

• Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we look up
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays

We answer "what is the cheapest way to fly from Santiago to Punta Arenas?" many times a day; the answer for your date comes back by WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.
