Chile’s Travel Sale Starts Monday: Up to 60% Off Flights, Hotels and Packages

Chile’s version of the Travel Sale — the annual discount event organized by the hotel and tourism association ACHET — opens Monday, August 31, for three days, with advertised discounts of up to 60 percent on flights, hotels and packages through travelsale.cl.

If August ends with a sale, September can start with a ticket. Chile’s Travel Sale, the travel industry’s coordinated discount push, runs Monday through Wednesday — three days in which airlines, hotel chains and agencies cut prices across the country’s platforms.

What the Travel Sale Is

The Travel Sale is Latin America’s coordinated answer to Black Friday for travel: a fixed window in which the industry — airlines, hotels, tour operators, online agencies — publishes discounted inventory at the same time.

Chile’s edition is organized around ACHET, the country’s hotel and tourism association, and concentrates the offers on the portal travelsale.cl plus the channels of participating companies.

What Kind of Deals to Expect

Discounts are advertised at up to 60 percent, typically covering domestic routes — Santiago to Patagonia and the north — plus hotel nights and packages, with some international fares mixed in.

As with every coordinated sale, the deepest discounts apply to specific dates and limited inventory: flexibility on travel dates is the single biggest lever for actually getting the headline prices.

A Note for Chile-Based Expats

For foreign residents, the sale is the best-priced moment of the year to book the classic Chilean long hauls — Easter Island, Patagonia, San Pedro de Atacama — which are otherwise among South America’s most expensive domestic trips.

It is also the natural window to book year-end travel home or regional hops; just confirm residency documentation requirements with the airline, as some Chilean fare classes are residency-linked.

Chile vs. Argentina: Don’t Mix Them Up

Argentina ran its own Travel Sale in mid-August; Chile’s edition starts August 31. The two sales share the name and the format but are organized separately and sell different inventory.

If you saw coverage of the Argentine edition two weeks ago, the deals starting Monday are new and Chile-specific.

How to Shop It

Start at travelsale.cl for the coordinated offers, then cross-check directly with airlines and hotels — some reserve their best fares for their own sites.

Compare the final price including taxes and baggage, which is where Chilean domestic fares differ most; and book inside the window, since sale fares typically expire when the event closes Wednesday night.
