Cheap Flights from La Paz to Santiago — $296

El Alto International Airport (LPB) serves La Paz as the country’s main international gateway and a high-altitude hub, handling both full-service and regional carriers as well as some low-cost operators. Located about 13–16 km from downtown La Paz (roughly 30–50 minutes by car depending on traffic and altitude), transfers are commonly by taxi, shared minivan or prebooked shuttle; expect fares to vary with service level. Clicked domestic flights and connections to other Bolivian cities are frequent, though ticket prices can feel higher than regional averages due to operational costs at altitude. Pros: modern facilities and many international connections; cons: significant elevation, longer transfers to the city center, and variable on-site services.

Fly direct from La Paz to Santiago for the quickest, most convenient way to cross the Andes — fewer hassles, no layovers, and more time to enjoy Chile’s capital. While connecting flights can occasionally be cheaper, a nonstop option saves hours and offers a smoother, more comfortable journey worth the upgrade.

The airport offers a broad range of services and connections, which can make it convenient for international transfers, though congestion and occasional delays are possible during peak periods.
