- Fare feels too good to be true? Don't call the airline!!!!!!
- Double check that the fare is actually in Business or First as some online search engines or OTA's confuse booking classes on some airlines.
- Post as many details as possible about the First / Business fare, including fare class, fare basis, one-way / roundtrip, sales channel, sample dates & total price, including taxes.
- Post the details within the thread itself and not in the post title field as any information typed here cannot be seen by members accessing the thread using mobile devices.
- Refrain from posting fare requests or engaging in off topic debates such as fare trends, specific aircraft configuration or visa requirements
- The deeply discounted international fares discussed here are almost always specific to a certain country of origin, so don't ask if it works in reverse (e.g. a SFO-LHR-SFO fare usually won't work LHR-SFO-LHR). Domestic fares more commonly work in reverse.
- Last, but not least, Don't call the Airline!

Indeed it is. That fare can be found all the way up to and through July 2014! After that, it looks like it almost doubles.
I've found the historical average fare in Y is around $500, but does anyone know what the average fare is for J/F on say, the SEA-MGA route?

Seattle to Managua for ~ $700, SAP for ~ $800, and other Central American cities for around $1000 is nice. Colombian cities were also temporally around $1000 though they are back to the ~1300 range now.
