Flight Deals from Seattle to Santiago from $605

The route from Seattle to Santiago is about 6,430 miles. There is no scheduled nonstop service on this route, so the flight requires a connection.

Methodology

Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

There are no non-stop flights from Seattle to Santiago; every itinerary connects. The quickest routing is LATAM Airlines via Los Angeles at 15 hours 50 minutes total — 2 hours 47 minutes from Seattle to LAX, a 2 hour 23 minute layover, then 10 hours 40 minutes on the long leg to Santiago. Alaska Airlines also feeds LATAM through Los Angeles, and Delta offers connections via LAX, Miami, and Atlanta.

Methodology

Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

Ground transport from Santiago's Arturo Merino Benítez Airport (SCL) to the city center includes rideshare (Uber/Cabify), official taxis, airport buses (Centropuerto and TurBus) that connect to the metro, public buses with multiple transfers, private transfers, and rental cars. Rideshare is the fastest door-to-door option and generally the most used for convenience, while the airport bus plus metro offers the best balance of time and cost. Official taxis operate from marked stands and should cost no more than around CLP 15,000 (about $23) to downtown. For budget travelers, the public bus plus metro combination is the cheapest but involves the most logistics. Rental cars are available from major agencies and start around $29 per day.

There is no nonstop red-eye between Seattle and Santiago, but connecting overnight itineraries do operate. LATAM runs the overnight long leg from Miami (departing 21:45, arriving 06:55) and New York JFK (departing 19:50, arriving 07:25), both arriving in the early morning hours, and Delta flies an overnight leg from Atlanta departing 22:10 and arriving 08:15 the next morning.

Methodology

Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

There is no nonstop service between Seattle and Santiago; the route is served by one-stop connections. The most common routing is via Los Angeles on LATAM Airlines, with Delta or Alaska Airlines operating the domestic leg from Seattle, and LATAM flying the long-haul segment to Santiago. Other connection points include Miami, New York JFK, and Atlanta, with Delta offering a single-carrier connection through its Atlanta hub. LATAM operates the long-haul leg on most itineraries, while Alaska Airlines and Delta provide the domestic feeder flights from Seattle.

Santiago has one main airport, Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, which serves all international and domestic flights for the city.

Link light rail is the most popular and economical option, taking about 38 minutes from SeaTac/Airport Station to downtown Seattle for just a few dollars. Taxis and ride-shares like Uber and Lyft offer a faster, door-to-door trip of roughly 20 to 30 minutes from the third floor of the parking garage, though they cost significantly more. Driving yourself is possible via I-5, but downtown parking is expensive, so many travelers skip the car unless they need it for exploring outside the city.

There is no nonstop service from Seattle to Santiago; connecting itineraries are typically flown by LATAM and Delta. LATAM operates the long-haul legs on Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 aircraft, while Delta uses the Airbus A350-900. Shorter domestic feeder flights are flown by Alaska Airlines and Delta on Boeing 737 and Airbus A321neo aircraft.

Methodology

Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

There is no nonstop service between Seattle and Santiago, and the route is flown one-stop via Los Angeles, Miami, New York, or Atlanta. The carriers scheduled on these connections are Delta Air Lines (SkyTeam), Alaska Airlines (oneworld), and LATAM Airlines, which belongs to no alliance. Other alliances may serve the route through connections, but Delta, Alaska, and LATAM are the airlines currently flying it.
