Cm: Bos-scl $336, 3.2 cpm

Seeing lots of dates for BOS-PTY-SCL-PTY-BOS on Copa for $336. 10,645 mi. = 3.2 CPM. Won't come up on ITA but I've gotten it to price through on Orbitz with SkyScanner, so I think it'll book. Pretty good deal!

Great! Seems like a "very very special" price, I tried other combinations and it is available also ex ORD.

NP!
I don't see anything past middle of December.
for those interested looks like the business class is about the same as the normal for coach. I don't live in Boston, maybe this is normal prices.
The business price goes well into March 2016

Cool find. This is a published fare BOS-SCL, TZ00F, base fare $240 r/t. Refundable against a $140 change fee.

Books into T. Valid routing is BOS-PTY-SCL only. Does not allow stopovers.Not upgradeable with CM upgrade certs (which exclude T fare class). Prices as $240 plus $83 in XT taxes, $5.50 in XC taxes, and $7 in XY taxes. Requires a 3 day stay e.g. Thu--Sun or Fri--Mon as shortest possible trip.

Not sure what the CM Y situation is like and this is a long coach trip. I have taken CM J previously on a PTY-LIM sector; it is like domestic UA recliner J but with slightly better food and pretty good service.

Thanks mherdeg for the clarification, since I couldn't find it on CM website and only on few ota's I thought it was a sort of mistake.

I think it's an inventory thing. When I look in ITA and places, I don't find "T" inventory available on the return sectors SCL-PTY-BOS. The outbound prices into T okay but the return prices in a more expensive fare class because ITA and other OTAs can't find T inventory.

However, Orbitz seems to have access to T inventory and is okay reserving and ticketing it. So maybe an issue with how different OTAs get different fare bucket availability given to them.

Thanks for the deets. Would love to hear how you found all this info if you can PM me. Or maybe you just clicked through the final Orbitz page.

As seris7 mentioned: available from ORD as well. Showing 680$ but once you click through:



Use flex-search to find available days. ^
