Charter Flights: Puerto Montt-Futaleufu route. These flights fly direct over the incredibly rugged Andes, in view of the active Chaiten volcano. This can be a spectacular experience. However these flight are not scheduled every day of the week. The airline company takes your reserve off the reserve form link on this page, and will attempt to schedule a shared charter flight, using the significant demand for this route on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Thus, we need to get your request for a reserve in as soon as possible. Once you have agreed to let exchile charge your credit card, we will then pay the Charter company. You will then be sent a voucher to confirm your flight.
Though more expensive and weather dependent than coming in through Argentina, This is a fast, and easy way to get to Futaleufu just minutes away from the village itself. However we only recommend this route when you are already committed to traveling in Chile before or after your exchile trip. You are allowed 15 kilos of luggage, if you are over you will have to you pay an extra luggage fee, and risk that all of your luggage may not make your flight. It usually does however. In the case of flight being suspended due to weather they will often divert to the coast near Chaiten. This flight is cheaper than a direct flight to Futaleufu. The cost difference will be refunded for the shorter flight, however we will apply the difference for getting a vehicle to drive you from the coast near Chaiten, to Futaleufu about 3.5 to 4 hours east. You will arrive in time for dinner. If bad weather happens on the return the airline company informs us and we apply the difference to get a vehicle to drive you down to the coast near Chaiten for a flight back to Puerto Montt. This is why you should not schedule flights departing Puerto Montt before 4 pm. Our office will work to solve these unplanned problems if you encounter them in route.
Plan to spend the night in Puerto Montt before your flight to Futaleufu. Upon arrival call the airline company and let them know your name, and ask them what time you should be at the smaller airport called Aerodroma La Poloma. (airport code SCPF) It is 10 minutes from the City Center of Puerto Montt. Taxi drivers know where it is. Make sure you are not going back to the jet airport, Tepual (airport code PMC). Upon arrival at this small airport there is a small office near the main hanger, let them know you have arrived. IF you are arriving in Puerto Montt, the morning of the charter flight departure, it is possible to make this exception by securing approval from our office in advance. If our office has approved this method it means the charter company has approved delaying the departure of the charter airplane for a reasonable time after your incoming flight has been scheduled to arrive. You will need to arrive on the first flight possible (around 8 am), claim you luggage, grab a taxi for the twenty five minute taxi ride to the La Poloma airport.
