[FARE GONE] DL: MSP/ATL/others to Georgetown, Guyana $398
Can get it to around 4.4 cpm from MSP routing through DTW, ATL, BOS and ATL, CVG. Late August into at least late November. Bookable at DL.com and elsewhere. Not bad these days.

Thanks OP! It's about $495 from SAN. I'd noticed it around $800 a few weeks ago and was wishing I had a VDB voucher to cut down the price. For $500 I had to bite for a week in October. Anyone been to Guyana on vacation before? Quick research shows a good bit of eco-tourism opportunities. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

"Movie star Pauly Shore has a party mansion called the Class Act after his 1992 movie of the same name. The mansion is situated on the outskirts of town in a former mangrove that was drained in order to build the property. During January and Febuary when Pauly is in residence, there are many "invite only" parties to attend with B-list semi-celebrities like Matt Dillon, Carrot Top and Seth Green."
Other than that, maybe waterfalls, jungle, the highlands or an alternative entry to northern South America?

I grabbed one of these, too: $399 from FLL, through JFK, for 7212 MQMs. Going in September for 2 days. Any ideas on things to do there?

I thought the falls tours at http://www.airguyana.biz/ looked interesting, though not much less expensive than the flights there. I'm going in November (thanks to a VDB voucher); care to be a Guyana Pig?
I was interested in going to Jonestown but apparently it's been abandoned and returned to the jungle.
The waterfall does look interesting, yeah the tour is $$$ but don't know that there's any cheaper way to do it.
Also looks like Suriname is a 3 hour bus / van ride from Georgetown. If things get boring in Guyana I suppose I could see what's across the border although looks like a visa is required for US citizens.
