Whenever I've travelled to SCL, I've found the fares to be quite high and it was a hard upgrade. The plane used to sit in SCL all day but then AC finally realized that they could fly overnight to SCL and then have the flight return to YYZ that morning - better for aircraft utlisation but meant that connections would need to overnight in YYZ.

Finning has a large operation there and plenty of mining companies as well.
