[PREM FARE GONE] Aeromexico US-SCL J $1,000(ish)
Have just seen from The Flight Deal that Aeromexico is offering $1,000 fares in I (biz). The link below indicates this is from JFK, but I seen it available from other airports (I searched from MCO).

Surely $1,000 is an error fare, but worth highlighting here anyway.

i wish this was available from the west coast. best i am seeing is 1500ish from SFO to EZE, but with fairly miserable connecting options. best hope at this point is that some other airline stupidly matches.

I'm hoping that JJ or UA come down - even if they don't fully match this price.
*flights where sleeping is actually an option - ie 7+ hours with a flat bed. So, no Avianca, Copa, or the dang TAM 777.

Booked two of these through JustFly.com...anyone ever used them before? Hoping this sticks, it's a lot of DL MQMs and MQDs! Although I think Aeromexico is one of the worst SkyTeam carriers.

I'm seeing some AM flights showing up on GF and Expedia out of SEA for ~$1,600. Not as good as the JFK deal but still a decent price

STEVE HOLT!
But why assume it is an error fare? Avianca is only slightly more. This is a good ROI with EQD on DL. Noticed can be same day turn and all in 787 if you are okay with a long layover in MEX on outbound.
...not that I'm buying it.

Long layover - it's ~14 hours (would really require a hotel as it's overnight).

Well - yea, fine. I don't know how to tell when it's an error. But Secret Flying has just posted the LAX-LIM fare of $615 in J as an "error fare" ... seems like a coincidence that this appears at the same time ....

This JFK-SCL is one heck of the deal, not just from pricing standpoint, but for the fact that MEX-SCL is on Dreamliner and the timing is perfect and saves 2 nights of hotels, nor does it require overnight stays at MEX (barring IIROP)

Bought this and debating whether to keep it - is 2h40m on the JFK-MEX-SCL outbound and 3h20m on the SCL-MEX-JFK return long enough to transit MEX?

JFK-MEX is 3 - 7 pm
I booked this overnight option as I rather explore MEX than JFK.
MEX-JFK is 7am - 2pm
You'll only have 2 hours to connect, too risky based on previous travelers' feedback so I book another flight later at 9am, it's a short flight during the day so I don't really need to sleep.
