How does Southamerica.tickets work?

The team uses three methods to discover the best flight deals exclusively for South America travel:

Are Southamerica.travel deals only last-minute, budget airline travel?

Absolutely not! We actively filter out deals on budget airlines that have poor reputations. We also exclude airlines that are known to deeply discount fares but charging an exorbitant amount of hidden fees.

We typically don’t send last-minute deals. Those are often stressful! Most of the deals we send are 2-7 months in the future. These timelines correspond with shoulder and “opposite season” travel, and windows that typically have the lowest flight prices. Planning ahead is the easiest way to save, and we’re here to serve as your source of wanderlust and travel inspiration.

We also frequently include peak season, summer, and holiday deals when our team, API calls, and @southamerica community detect a great deal!

  • Flights within South America to ensure you get the cheapest fares while exploring this beautiful continent (Buenos Aires, Argentina → Santiago, Chile)
