Cached-fare history: across 4 months, Nov is the cheapest for AMS → SCL. Best time to be there: Oct–Apr.
Fares bottom out in November around $878 and peak in September near $1,321 — a $443 spread across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 19 hours outbound, on a 14-night trip — ticketed under Air Canada, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $878 for 12,012 km each way, that works out to about $37 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $40 typical of ultra-long-haul fares here. Across the 24 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Santiago, this fare ranks 5th — 17% above the $750 from Stockholm. For context, the middle fare among the 23 routes of similar length we watch out of Amsterdam is $700.

AMS → SCL, answered.
Is $878 a good price for Amsterdam to Santiago?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $1,040 round-trip and this fare is 16% under it, about $162. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Amsterdam to Santiago?
Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Nov comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Santiago are Oct–Apr — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book AMS → Santiago?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 4 months of cached fares, Nov comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Amsterdam to Santiago?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Air Canada. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
