A Solid Travel Option to Santiago
The Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software indicates a fare of $521 for flights to Santiago (Basic Economy). Meanwhile, LATAM is offering a lower price of $495 for Basic Economy and $645 for Regular Economy on those same travel dates.
The $645 LATAM fare includes one checked bag and a standard carry-on. In contrast, the Basic Economy fare at $495 comes with several restrictions:
THIS FARE:
DOES NOT permit choosing your seats in advance.
DOES NOT include any checked luggage, with fees of $70 for the first bag and $100 for the second.
DOES NOT allow for any changes to the itinerary.
DOES NOT provide for cancellations, meaning no value for future travel if canceled after a 24-hour risk-free window.
