When to book
Chile's summer, from December to February, is the busiest time for Patagonia and Easter Island. Checking onward flight schedules before booking hotels and tours helps when those flights don't operate every day.
Direct vs. one-stop
Nonstop is the simplest choice from New York. Connecting through Miami, Lima or another hub can make sense when the nonstop is full, or when Lima or Bogotá is part of the trip.
When to call a travel expert
If this trip involves a stopover, a premium cabin, family seating, or anything urgent, a named expert can handle the whole itinerary in one conversation.
An overnight flight to Chile from JFK
LATAM flies nonstop from New York JFK to Santiago, usually leaving in the evening and arriving the next morning. As an overnight flight of more than ten hours, it's the kind of journey where a lie-flat Premium Business seat can make the biggest difference.
LATAM's newer Premium Business suite with a door is on refurbished Boeing 787s, while other aircraft have earlier seats. Check the scheduled cabin for your exact flight before paying extra for the suite.
Delta SkyMiles can be earned on eligible LATAM flights, and Medallion status can bring benefits, but check seating, baggage and lounge eligibility separately for your ticket.
