I am going through a travel agent who uses the Apollo system. But you must use the TACA flights operated by Trans American Airlines LIM-CUZ-LIM to get this to price. Using Lan Peru flights won't price it this cheap.

Dates I booked:
AV 49 20SEP LAXBOG
AV 25 21SEP BOGLIM
TA 7 22SEP LIMCUZ
TA 8 27SEP CUZLIM
AV 74 28SEP LIMBOG
AV 48 28SEP BOGLAX

The fare calc is as follows:

LAX AV X/BOG AV LIM 18.00KEPP00Y7 TA CUZ Q31.00 33.00ZED00RHG
TA LIM Q31.00 39.00WED00QNG AV X/BOG AV LAX 18.00KEPP00Y7
NUC170.00END ROE1.0
FARE USD 170.00 TAX 2.50AY TAX 30.80US TAX 5.00XA TAX 4.50XF
TAX 7.00XY TAX 5.50YC TAX 15.00DY TOT USD 240.30

It looks like the fuel surcharge of 130.00YQ doesn't apply if you are making an internal connection on TA?

I already booked my ticket from central MN to LAX using NW miles. Entire trip cost (flights) $251.30!

Anyone want to join me?

Oh, pleazzzze!

For me, when I check on Cheaptickets, it shows up as

$251
+ $337 taxes & fees =
$588
per person

And I was seeing the $242 fare earlier.

Can anyone shed light on the booking engine and dates that they are using that is still showing this as $242?

Not dead in Apollo. Keep looking somewhere.

Cheaptickets confirmed $242 this very moment,
Sep 20-28.

But can't find the $4 Cuzco using cheaptix multi-city.

Booked LAX-LIM 11/27-12/16 on Expedia. $243 with fees. E-Ticket.

Question from a newb..
 

So if avianca is a partner of delta, and delta is a partner of northwest and nw allows mileage on K fares... can i get mileage from this flight on my nw plan?

Getting closer on the CUZ fare mentioned. On Amex Travel I'm able to price it, but ultimately get the below message about the TACA flights when trying to purchase. Imma keep playing with it, though...any other tips/hints would be great, though!


One or more of your flights cannot be confirmed with the participating airline.
Due to heavy volume some low fares sell out very quickly, and one or more
of your flights is no longer available at the fare you selected.

Thanks for the clarifications...I think that the dates are now somewhat more limited than they were when the fare was first available. Oct 7-14 was bookable for the $242 when I first searched.

Nope.

I've found a way to get to CUZ for even less than fti, but when I get all the way to the end and give my info and CC number and click "Purchase", it returns We are sorry but your selected flights are sold out.. Argggggh!!!

Cheap Tix down?

Too bad. But mine is ticketed :).

TA must be in L for the cheapest fare (even as low as $216.30) but mine was ticketed with TA in Z one way and W the other.
