Anyone familiar with Sky Airlines?

I'm trying to book flights between Santiago and Puerto Montt in October. Sky Airline's website offers quite inexpensive fares in August and September, but there are no flights listed after October 1st. Is it just that they wait until closer to the date to post the flights, or is something else going on? I've seen mostly good reviews of this airline, but does anyone have more recent experience?

I guess my question would be if that is a seasonal route, but I'm sorry I don't know the answer.

As I recall when we booked a couple flights with Sky including one from Santiago to PM, there was a time frame when one could book. Whether that is what is going on here, I don't know. I also recall emailing with them, so you could try that.

Yes, I wondered if that was a seasonal route too, mlgb, but I'll try to email them, as you suggest, yestravel. Thanks.

I know you both have lots of info about Chile as well, so I'll be back with further questions as our plans take shape.

I was looking at flights with sky last year and had a similar problem - every time I visited the site I got different prices and classes of fare and sometimes the flights just were not available. No particular reason that I could find. I flew with them a few years ago and they were a good airline and v. Cheap in comparison with Lan etc.If you see the flight and fare book it quick!

Thanks for your perspective, crellston. Their prices seem so much better than the competition. I'm hoping that they'll post flights for October at the beginning of May.

We returned from Chile last week. We live in USA and did use SKY for Santiago to PM. No problem booking the flight. Checked in on my iPad after we arrived in Santiago. Reserved our seats on SKY website last Fall. Suggest sitting on port side of plane for best views of Andes. We booked the second to lowest fare WITHOUT knowing specific restrictions, but again, no problem. Loved their fares and the flight was nice.

<<but there are no flights listed after October 1st.>>
There are 4 direct flights a day showing when I search for October dates, with prices starting at $74 one way.

You're right, Odin, the fares are now available. I guess I just had to wait a bit.
