Turkish Airlines Heads to Santiago Chile: Because Why Stop at 25?

Just when you thought Turkish Airlines was ready to kick back and relax, they’ve gone ahead and added Santiago, Chile, to their travel playlist! This marks their 26th destination in the Americas and their 10th in South America. Looks like Turkish Airlines glanced at the map and thought, “You know what? We could use a bit more empanada energy in our route lineup.”

The Route Less Traveled – Until Now
Starting December 18, 2024, you can jet off from Istanbul to Santiago, with a quick leg stretch in São Paulo, Brazil. So, you’ll be able to say you visited two continents in one go, even if you’re just sleeping through most of it. Turkish Airlines is really out here making geography teachers proud.

Why Santiago? Why Not?!
Santiago has got all the goods – stunning Andean views, a rich history, and more wine than you can shake a passport at. Plus, it’s a great excuse to tell everyone you’ve flown halfway around the world just to eat empanadas (which, let’s be honest, is a pretty solid life goal).

Bonus Perks for the Long Haul – Because Turkish Airlines Knows You’ll Need Them
If you’ve got a long layover in Istanbul, Turkish Airlines is ready to keep you entertained! With their “Stopover Istanbul” program, you can snag a free hotel stay and live your best vacation life before your vacation even starts. Or, if you’ve got 6 to 24 hours to kill, you can hop on the “Tour Istanbul” guided tour and pretend you’re an expert on Turkish culture before jetting off to the Andes.

Flight Details You’ll Pretend to Remember Turkish Airlines Heads to Santiago Chile

• Depart Istanbul (IST): 20:35, make a quick stopover in São Paulo (GRU), and waltz into Santiago (SCL) at 09:45 the next morning. Just in time for breakfast.
• Return: Leave Santiago at 11:40 and be back in Istanbul at 11:20 the next day. Somehow, you’ll arrive before you even left – take that, Einstein!

Why Should You Care?

Because now you get to casually drop into conversations, “Oh, I’m just flying from Istanbul to Santiago with a little pit stop in Brazil.” It’s the ultimate travel flex! Turkish Airlines is basically handing you a golden ticket to add another epic adventure to your passport.

So, grab your suitcase, brush up on your Spanish and Turkish, and prepare for a whirlwind trip to Santiago. You didn’t know you needed this, but Turkish Airlines knew you did – and they’re ready to take you there, one empanada at a time!
