We haven’t seen Santiago de Chile this inexpensive in a long time. Use it as an opportunity to explore Chile: Go to Vina Del Mar and Valparaiso. Go to the Andes. Do a few wine tasting tours. Go to the ice glaciers at Torres del Pine National Park.
For DC Residents: The fare is available for $620.
For Orlando Residents: The fare is available for $606.
For Dallas Residents: The fare is available for $576.
For New York/Tri-State Residents: This is a simple travel hack. Book the Washington D.C. to Santiago de Chile flight. Make sure to select a return flight from Santiago that routes back via JFK on the LAN non-stop. You will clear immigration and customs at JFK and will need to pick up your luggage at JFK regardless of your final destination. Go home and don’t take the JFK – Washington D.C. connection. To get down to DC for the outbound flight, take either MegaBus or Amtrak! It’s significant savings over JFK-Santiago flight.
