Each opens in a new tab, on the site's own pages. Some pay us a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you; most pay nothing, and what a site pays never decides whether it is listed or where.

No fare history on HKG–SCL yet, so this ranking is climate and crowds only. The price column fills in as the scanner collects.

Rain days are the days with at least 2 mm of rain.

Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in HK as well as at Santiago, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest in November and December; quietest in May.
