Most international flights enter Chile via the Santiago airport.
Save your visit to the huge, industrialized city of Santiago for later in your trip when you have become acclimated. There are several jet flights to Puerto Montt each day and the flight time is only about one hour. Chile also has privately owned fleets of comfortable long distance busses which reach everywhere, including Puerto Montt. The busses cost considerably less than jet flights. An airport shuttle will drop you at the Santiago bus terminal.
