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

American Airlines operates a few nonstop routes from the U.S. to Santiago, the Chilean capital, and we’re seeing plenty of availability from Miami and Dallas.

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 Dallas if you have some Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards points handy. If you’re not in Florida or Texas, it may be worth positioning yourself, as this is one of the best business class deals to South America.

Class: Business
Route: Miami (MIA) andDallas (DFW) to Santiago (SCL)
Cost: Starting at 50,000 points plus $18.10 in taxes and fees
Travel Dates: March and June 2026
Award Seats: Up to 8 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.

You’ll be flying with American Airlines, which currently operates the Boeing 777-200 with fully lie-flat business seats in a 1-2-1 configuration, providing overnight comfort for the 8+ hour flight to Santiago.

Hot Tip:

If you happen to be in Cancun (CUN) or can get there reasonably cheaply, you can book flights to Chile for as low as 35,000 points in business class.

How To Book

Your best bet for booking these flights isn’t through AAdvantage. Instead, you’ll find the best value via Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards program, where awards cost just 50,000 points plus $18.10 per person — a solid deal for a long-haul business class seat to South America.

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

Hot Tip:

Don’t have any Alaska points? You can transfer Bilt Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy points to Alaska Airlines or earn with Alaska Airlines’ credit cards.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve been searching for business-class deals to Chile, this is as good as it gets. The best part of this deal is that you can fly from Miami or Dallas, and if you need to reposition from elsewhere in the U.S., there are numerous flights to these cities.
