How far is PUQ Airport from Punta Arenas city?

When should I book flights to Punta Arenas?
For southern summer travel, book at least three to four months ahead since Patagonia capacity is limited and prices climb fast. Outside peak season, four to six weeks generally suffices. Flightmussy is free to search with no signup, and the 12-month heatmap helps spot dips early.
