Sky Airline
Sky Airline is a Chilean low-cost carrier positioned as a no-frills, value-oriented option for domestic and regional travel; from a traveler’s perspective it focuses on keeping base fares low while offering paid add-ons for baggage, seating and priority services. The airline concentrates on short- and medium-haul routes out of its Santiago base (Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez (SCL)) and targets travelers looking for lower fares rather than a full-service experience. It operates independently rather than as part of a major global airline alliance.
Frequent Flyer and Loyalty Notes
Sky does not operate a full-featured proprietary frequent-flyer program like those run by traditional full-service airlines; loyalty for frequent travelers is typically handled through fare bundles, occasional promotions, or partner arrangements announced from time to time. If you fly regularly with Sky, check at booking whether there are mileage-credit options with partner airlines or corporate travel programs, but do not expect the same elite benefits or mileage accrual available from network carriers.
Where Sky Airline Flies
Sky’s main base is at Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL) in Santiago, and the carrier primarily serves domestic destinations within Chile alongside point-to-point regional routes across South America. The network is built around cost‑efficient, direct connections rather than hub-and-spoke transfer services, and the airline is not a member of a major global alliance, so through-ticketing and alliance connectivity are more limited compared with full-service carriers.

Aircraft and Cabin Classes
Sky operates short- and medium-haul services using single-aisle narrowbody jets typical for low-cost carriers; these aircraft are used on domestic Chile routes and regional South American flights. The airline’s onboard offering is focused on a single economy-style cabin, with optional paid upgrades and bundles that commonly include extra legroom seats, priority boarding, and checked-baggage allowances rather than multiple dedicated premium classes.
Tips for Flying Sky Airline
- Compare the base fare versus bundled fares or add-ons at booking since extra legroom, checked bags, priority boarding and seat selection are typically sold separately and can quickly raise the final price.
- Carefully review baggage allowances before you travel-checked baggage and oversized items are usually chargeable on low-cost carriers and rules can vary by route and fare type.
- Pre-purchase seats and any meals or special services if you want guaranteed seating or onboard food, as availability and options at the gate or onboard can be limited.
- Use the airline’s website or mobile app to check in and download boarding passes to save time at the airport, and arrive early at Santiago (SCL) during peak periods when lines are longest.
