In-country Flights
Two private airlines - Lan Chile and Aerolíneas del Sur serve all major cities of the country with modern fleets. Because of the enormous distances, flying is a fast and safe alternative for travel within Chile. Reservations through travel agents or directly with the airlines.
Roundtrip Ticket
Lan Chile offers a Chile roundtrip ticket (Lan Air Pass) that can only be purchased in connection with an international airline ticket to Chile and before the trip. The Airpass works with coupons (max. Six per person) and is cheaper for passengers who fly to Chile with Lan (3 coupons USD 250.00, each additional one USD 60.00) than for the rest (3 coupons USD 350.00, each additional one USD 80.00). The coupons can be used within one month after the first internal flight, with some limitations on the routes. The individual flights can be booked in advance or on location, and they can be chosen freely, capacity permitting. The Airpass is definitely worthwhile for anyone who wants to fly more than twice within Chile.
Insurance
Before travelling to Chile, it's advisable to buy comprehensive coverage against loss of luggage and for international health insurance, as well as liability insurance. Private hospitals will recognize credit cards as a guarantee.
