Fly Now to Latin America

This is a great time to travel to Mexico and Central America if you are looking for a deal on airfares. This time of the year is shoulder season in most of Latin America, so demand is not as high as it will be in July and August when the kiddies are on vacation.

Best sample round-trip fares on American, not including additional taxes and fees, are:

* $228 from Miami, FL to Guatemala City, Guatemala on American
* $248 from Boston, MA to San Pedro Sula, Honduras on American
* $288 from New York City, NY to San Jose, Costa Rica on American
* $485 from Washington, D.C. to San Salvador, El Salvador on American
* $494 from Dallas, TX to Guayaquil, Ecuador on American

See this AA deal page on SmarterTravel.com for more and remember that other airlines will sometimes end up matching the deals. Or it could be even less on Taca or Copa. Keep in mind you can move overland in Central America pretty easily if you’ve got the time, so if a flight to El Salvador is $300 and one to Guatemala or Honduras is $650, head to El Salvador and make it a two or three country trip.

There are also some deals floating around for Peru and Argentina. null .
