General hint: To see all and cheap possibilities use search-engines, depending on your country: kiwi, megaflieger, opodo, whichbudget, jetcost, momondo, greitai. It’s advised to use such search-engines only to get the information, NOT for booking, because you have to book your bicycle too and that can cause problems using the search engines.

March 09 – March 26. Flights from El Calafate. March 27 – till the end. Flights from Punta Arenas. You can finish the ride at the other points as well.
