Cheap flights from Santiago to Mendoza

November is the cheapest month in this calendar, sitting just before Mendoza's summer and the year-end holidays. Mendoza's summer and the year-end holidays fall from December into February, which is usually the pricier stretch, and school holidays matter on both sides of the Andes.

If your dates are flexible, compare several days across late November rather than committing to one. The price calendar here runs from November through September, so longer-range planning is possible outside the main peaks.

Jetsmart, Sky Airline and LATAM Airlines are the first names many travellers check on this Chilean route, while Aerolineas Argentinas, Arajet, Copa Airlines, Cruiser Linhas Aereas and Lanperu widen the choice. Direct flights are available, but routing can differ by fare, so compare total travel time as well as price.

Fare inclusions vary by airline and ticket type, so read what each price covers before you pay. Some fares include little more than the seat, while others bundle services; once you add bags and changes, the cheapest ticket is not always the cheaper trip.

Arriving late can change how simple the last leg of this trip feels. El Plumerillo is Mendoza's airport, and evening arrivals may leave fewer transport options than an afternoon landing.

Decide how you will reach your hotel or bus station before you book, and allow time for baggage and border formalities if you are arriving from abroad. If you land after dark, a pre-arranged transfer is usually easier than arranging a ride at the terminal.
