Thanks OP! I found DCA-DFW-MIA-LIM and back a few days later for $252.70. 9860 miles works out to 2.6 cpm I believe. Looks like next day turn arounds are available with at least one extra connection but I love Peru so happy to spend Labor Day week down there.

!

What sites and dates are the OP and Tclin using to find these?

yuel, you come up with some fantastic fares to Latin America. The LAN/AA connection comes in at $336 for late May with the online discount, which is sweet enough. Again, what sites and dates are you using?

Tclin: Your tip is phenomenal. I'm afraid I only see UA connecting with TACA to LIM and it's well over $1,000 for late May. Not seeing a connection at MEX, either. Site? Dates?

Thanks much. Still confused by Tclin's post, though.

I have tried many ( NYC; PHL BOS etc but not found any. However AA ex. NYC show $ 1000 + normally $ 400-500 so something must be going on at AA. Possibly in process of massive new fare download ex other cities to LIM. Will wait until later this morning. What a fare to get close to Machu Picchu.

FYI, LIM - CUZ is flown by LAN TACA StarPeru and Condor. Sometimes TACA is very cheap depending on day but they only have 1 flight each day each direction.

Ex-pda. You don't need to use kayak if you know how to use ITA. More accurately, that's a LanPeru fare (QLESP517).

Seasonal restrictions:
PERMITTED 18AUG THROUGH 08DEC OR 01JAN THROUGH 17JUN
DEPARTURE FROM FARE ORIGIN.

- Sat stay required
- LP/AM metal from/to MEX

Last edited by Tclin; Apr 17, 09 at 8:01 am.. Reason: added complete seasonality

Overly reliant on icons above, I just want to say in words what I meant: Wow. Just wow. We drop more than this on a hotel room for a night. And considering all the t&f these days... Wow.

Any speculation on why? Is LAN in trouble? (Apropos of the "too good to be true" feeling.)

LAN is hardly in trouble - highly profitable. And a great airline even.

Various airlines have been offering similar $200-300 fares from Europe to Lima for weeks now. It would seem that the Lima market is very soft with airlines trying to keep up their service.
