JetSMART is reshaping low-cost travel in South America with the launch of its new “All You Can Fly” membership. The airline announced the plan on April 9, offering passengers unlimited flights for a fixed annual fee.
A New Way to Travel More for Less
This plan allows travellers to pay once and access domestic and international routes for 12 months, marking a major shift in how low-cost airlines approach flexibility and pricing.
The new subscription is designed for frequent flyers looking for simplicity and flexibility. Instead of booking individual tickets, members can travel across JetSMART’s network without paying base fares each time, although taxes and additional fees may still apply.
The airline already has experience with subscription-based travel through its JetSMART GO programme, which offers a set number of domestic flights per year. Plans such as the “Smart Pass” and “Full Pass” allow passengers to secure lower fares on domestic routes, including popular connections like Santiago to Calama, Antofagasta, and Puerto Montt.
With “All You Can Fly,” JetSMART is taking this concept further by removing limits on the number of trips. The airline says the move reflects changing traveller habits, with passengers increasingly valuing flexibility over traditional booking models.
Expanding Network and Low-Cost Strategy
Founded in 2016, JetSMART has rapidly grown across South America, now operating more than 80 routes in countries including Chile, Argentina, Peru, and Colombia. Its fleet of around 50 Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft supports both domestic and international expansion.
The airline is backed by Indigo Partners, a group known for developing ultra low-cost carriers worldwide, including Frontier Airlines in the United States. Similar subscription-style travel products have already been tested in other markets, suggesting a broader industry trend.
For passengers, the new model could make frequent travel more accessible, especially across regional routes. As competition increases, flexible subscriptions like this may become a more common feature in the evolving low-cost airline market.
