LATAM’s brand new non-stop flights from Sydney to Santiago are officially underway, taking off from Sydney thrice-weekly on Monday, Thursday and Saturday.
The flights will arrive in Santiago at 9:15am the same day (local time), with a journey time of 13 hours and 15 minutes.
LATAM’s Regional General Manager Valeria Alvano said passengers flying with LATAM from Australia will experience the “superior design and technology of the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner” with its “optimum comfort, security and efficiency”.
The service will complement LATAM’s nonstop service between Melbourne and Santiago which launched in October 2017.

The first Santiago to Sydney direct flight landed on Monday morning and was greeted at Sydney Airport.
The service from Santiago will depart at 1:30am local time on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, arriving in Sydney at 6:15am the following day (local time), with a journey time of 14 hours and 45 minutes.
The introduction of this Sydney to Santiago flight will provide double-digit growth in capacity year-on-year from Australia.
“There are many destinations in South America that top the bucket lists of Australian travellers, and we are thrilled to make the journey easier with our new direct flight from Sydney.”
Valeria Alvano, Regional General Manager, Oceania
“From our hub in Santiago, LATAM’s guests can take advantage of onward connections to 124 destinations throughout South America including favourites Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Cuzco, Sao Paulo, Bogota and Lima.”
Passengers travelling in LATAM Airlines’ Premium Business Class and Economy Class can sample an inflight menu that has been carefully crafted by a panel of renowned South American chefs with a perfectly paired wine list selected by Hector Vergara, Latin America’s only Master Sommelier.
The Dreamliner also features large auto-dimming windows, dynamic lighting and plenty of storage space.
