If flying to Chile in business class is on your to-do list, check out these flights our team has found.

South American giant LATAM operates a few nonstop routes from the U.S. to Santiago, the Chilean capital, and we’re seeing plenty of availability from Florida.

Let’s examine how you can book this award flight.

Award Deal — Details

Getting to Chile can be a long journey, so being able to fly in a comfortable lie-flat seat (for a reasonable price) is worthy of your attention.

We found particularly great award space leaving from Miami and Orlando if you have some Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles handy.

If you’re not in Florida, it may be worth positioning yourself, as this is one of the best business class deals to South America.

Class: Business
Route: Miami (MIA) and Orlando (MCO) to Santiago (SCL)
Cost: As few as 50,000 points and $19 in taxes and fees
Travel Dates: March 2025 through February 20226
Award Seats: Up to 7 passengers per route

This is a great opportunity to experience the wonders of Patagonia via Torres del Paine National Park, explore the Atacama Desert, or enjoy the country’s famous wine and food regions.

Hot Tip:

If you happen to be in Cancun (CUN) you can book flights for as low as 35,000 miles in business class.

How To Book

Despite Delta and LATAM’s joint partnership, the best way to book these flights is not via Delta SkyMiles.

Instead, head on over to Alaska Airlines to score the best value.

You can easily search and sort flight results using Seats.aero to compare multiple dates and routes at once.

While Alaska Airlines currently offers the best value, other airlines are also available at slightly higher prices.

For example, you could fly American Airlines business class for 65,000 AAdvantage miles.

Hot Tip:

Don’t have any Alaska miles? You can transfer points into your Hawaiian Airlines account from Amex Membership Rewards and then convert them to Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve been hunting for business class deals to Chile, this is as good as its gets. While LATAM doesn’t offer the best premium cabin experience out there, it has gotten much better in recent years, and the available dates can’t be beat.

Plus, LATAM is debuting business-class suites with doors, and those suites are based out of Santiago right now. You could wind up in one of these brand-new suites.
