Now that flights, as above, are being displayed again, indicating the resumption of tourism shortly, I have found suitable choices for our trip in Oct/Nov- delayed from 2020. However, on tracking them through via Googleflights etc the prices carry a note to the effect that one is subject to UK regulations and the other those of Chile. There is a difference between the pricing and I’m wondering what the implications of booking under the Chilean site are, given we’re clearly not Chilean. Is it to do with local law, currencies etc?
I ask as there is £1k difference in Bus class and the local bus price is only slightly more expensive than UK economy. Additionally, price varies according to %age refund capability etc
Anyone have experience of booking in this manner? Is it risky? Given it’s over our birthdays I’m keen not to mess up. Anything else I should be aware of?
Many thanksFairly sure I booked flights domestic flights in Chile on Latam in 2018 on the Chilean site to save money. I don’t think there’s any restriction/ID requirement, and we certainly didn’t encounter any problems. That was a while back though and worth checking very carefully with Google Translate.
@Matt: many thanks for your experience, I’ll make a note and see what transpires.
I booked SCL to IPC through the Chilean web-site Business class one way flight for the same price as UK economy.
Had no issues whatsoever.
@blindman67; thank you very much for your input. I decided to play safe and booked this morning, so looking forward to it after 2 years of cancellations. 👍
Reawakening this thread.
Using http://www.lan.cl even VPNed to Chile, I get a redirect to the international site albeit in Spanish. Prices are the same as Google Flights search (an actually not bad £227 in economy return). Am I missing a trick?
