Which routes is JetSmart launching from Florianópolis?

Budget airline JetSmart is adding three international routes from Florianópolis (FLN) for the upcoming high season. Travelers will be able to fly directly to Buenos Aires and Santiago starting October 2, with Córdoba joining the network from December 16.

Why does this matter for expats and travelers?

Florianópolis is one of Brazil's top beach destinations, and these new low-cost routes make it easier than ever to combine a Brazilian summer holiday with a trip to Argentina or Chile — two of South America's most visited countries. JetSmart's presence typically means competitive fares, which is great news for budget-conscious tourists and expats hopping between countries.

What should you know before booking?

All three routes operate through the high season, which in the Southern Hemisphere runs from October through early March. This timing aligns perfectly with peak beach season in Florianópolis and summer holidays across South America. Travelers are advised to book early, as low-cost carriers tend to fill seats quickly during the peak period.

  • Buenos Aires route: starts October 2
  • Santiago route: starts October 2
  • Córdoba route: starts December 16

Tips for planning your trip

Florianópolis International Airport serves the island's growing tourism scene. If you're planning to visit from Argentina or Chile, October is an excellent month to avoid the biggest summer crowds while still enjoying warm weather. December onward brings the full Brazilian summer rush, so flexibility with dates can save you money.
