I just typed "Timatic" in google and got the interface for Delta as my second result. Put my countries in and it gave me the information you were looking for.

I apologize for bumping this thread, but my question is a bit more detailed. I understand that under normal circumstances, flying in on a one way flight shouldn't be an issue... my problem stems from the fact that Air Canada is run by morons (undoubtedly why they're going under). My boyfriend and I are moving down there in October and we'll be flying direct from Toronto. We have two dogs however and for some reason they will not allow more than one Kennel in cargo on a flight more than 8 hours long. For myself, I am a Chilean citizen and will be getting my chilean passport before flying into Santiago and so therefore am not expecting any problems. I know what documentations the dogs need and prefer to go overboard on that end instead of being caught of gaurd. My boyfriend however, is only Canadian. And it looks like we will have to take separate flights now, to get both dogs down there. Air Canada's only other solution was to drop $3000 on shipping them as Cargo :evil:

I'm sure that if even if they did question E regarding his one-way status while bringing in a dog, he could just explain that he's bringing him to me while on vacation, etc. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone on here who moved to Chile with their dog arrived on a tourist visa with a one way ticket? I'm trying to find out what, if any problems, E might encounter. He doesn't speak spanish and we're both fairly upset we'll have to fly separately, the dogs will be separated, etc. No sense in pouring salt on the wound once we get there by being caught unprepared.

Any insight is appreciated. Now if you'll excuse me, I must go hunt down some Air Canada executives and key their cars...

Again, there is absolutely no requirement for a round trip ticket to Chile under any law or current regulation. No one will ask in Chile, and no one will care, because it is not requirement. Only the airlines will try to rip you off with buying a ticket you do not need. He does not need to make up stories.

Anyone that ask at the airline, I would at the most tell them you are moving to Chile and will never return. Thus, the dog.

After that I would get very angry and talk to a manger if anyone at the airline pushed it beyond that point.

No official in Chile will ever ask you.

And don't quite a few people from the developed world travel as a tourist with their pets? The airline should be used to this. Know Timatic and insist on a manager if the frontline agent gives him a hard time.

I would not say anything about moving there as they will then insist on some kind of proof of a long-term visa. The counter is not the place to try to teach an agent about the details and fine points of Chile Immigration policy. STICK TO TIMATIC AND WHAT TIMATIC SAYS.

Where I left Calgary the first time I had a similar situation. I had a one-way ticket and the agent at the check in didn't want to let me check in. After the manager came over and I showed them that I had a couple visa's to buy a ticket they let me go through. Like Admin and eeuu said... you will only have troubles in Calgary, show them a visa and he will be through the gates. Once you get to Chile they won't ask any questions.

Also if someone questions the dog in Calgary just tell him to tell them that he vacations with is dog… beyond that it is none of their business.

Canadian Airlines are a tad more sensitive to the 1 way ticket issue then many other Airlines, as many refugees Chileans included enter Canada on one way tickets, to discourage this they demand you have a return ticket when entering Canada so they can send you home if need be, which they never do, so you end up living in a church basement like the ex-KGB guy here in Vancouver. Long and short of it since anyone entering Canada needs a return ticket they assume other countries are the same. I once bought a ticket to BA to get a ticket to Santiago from Toronto, or they would not sell me the ticket even though I had a return ticket for about 2 months later on another airline, Air Canada should go broke then we can get a real airline without all the legacy baggage Air Canada has.

I'll be traveling to Chile from LAX on a one way ticket on Wednesday, June 24th. I'm also going through Mexico City. The price was so dang cheap (298.00 us.) I couldn't resist. So, I'll post here again and let you know if they hassled me in Santiago about the one way and/or traveling via Mexico City.

You won't have any hassles in Santiago. The immigration officers at the airport in Santiago don't care if you have a one way ticket or not. They only check your passport; they won't even ask you for your tickets. Like it has been mentioned before, you will only get hassled at your departing airport buy an airline representative who is uninformed on what you are actually required to have in order to enter the country.

Just to follow up on my last post: I did fly into Chile on a one way ticket and not one Chilean agent said a word to me. They could have cared less.

Dear Chile2008:

What airline offered such a great price to Santiago ($298 USD)?! I am looking around at fares now. The only difference for me is that I would be departing from Dallas, Texas.

I flew from LAX and booked my trip online via Orbtz or Sidestep (can't remember). It was Aero Mexico (through Mexico City) and then LAN from Mexico City to Santiago. My daughter got th same price for her trip here in September.
