Has this ever happened in the past? Any other options? The Taca flight strands me in El Salvador for 5+ hrs! yikes.
Your best options are Copa (through PTY) and United (through IAH or IAD). Are you looking for prices during the event or right now? Don't focus too much on prices now, as they probably will be substantially higher during the WC.
