A flight from South America to what I am assuming is the US is a LONG flight. The guy was locked into a seat next to the OP, who could be misconstruing his politeness for ... attraction.
Also, it seems like the guy had plenty of opportunities to exchange numbers if he wanted to. It's not as if it's a big surprise when the plane lands.
So, OP, as long as you consider these things ^^^, I say go for it, but keep your message short and benign, as in, "Hi, just checking to see if you were the Joe Blow who sat next to me on the flight from Santiago."
And PLEASE report back!
I've had long flights across an ocean, and had to sit next to someone who wanted to talk to me the whole flight. Within 30 minutes of taxiing the runway, I let it be known that I was involved, and that gave me the peace and quiet I needed to sleep most of the way there. Of course, I have noticed that a lot of people here don't quite get the obvious.
I wouldn't do it. What are you going to say, "hi, I thought we had a connection even though neither of us made an effort at the time to obtain one another's email address or phone number do I thought I'd cyber sleuth and find out your contact details"
Do what's best for your well-being. If you think you'll eventually regret not knowing if there was ever the possibility of something, go for it. Accept the possibility that he may not reciprocate.
I think it's better to deal with actualities than hypotheticals, and you have the chance to do so.
I decided to go ahead and message him figuring my options were (A) Continue as is and never speak, (B) Message him, he doesn't answer, and we continue not speaking, or (C) Message him, he writes back, and possibly something could happen. If he was just being polite before and doesn't want to respond then so be it. Worst case scenario is I end up right where I am now, but at least I would know and not have to wonder. Definitely worth finding out! I'll let you know how it all goes.

I also say do it ! IF you see yourselves together by Using the famous 1-10 scale. If you rate the two of you similar.
Also , in case you don't know a lot of people sign up on Linked IN and never go back on it. So if you get no reply try FB or some other sites that may be more popular.
Hey Snowlove,
Just curious to see if he got back to you. Hope you're well.
