Not earth shattering deal like previous LAX-LIM by AM in terms of cpm but this is the cheapest to Central America (especially YVR) at the moment, usually starting at $1000 even from Southern US.

Another advantage with GUA is AM goes there 3-4 times daily so you can create stops in MEX for almost 24 hours without increasing the fares.

From YVR,YYZ, and YUL, one can create 4 segment multi-city trip (AM doesn't give you such options), use Expedia's Multi-City instead to force long layovers in MEX.

Also in the mix, YVR/YUL/YYZ - PTY from $732 (YVR) which will yield the lowest cpm if that matters, same offer expiring Jan 31st.

Update: AM has extended the sale until Jan 31st with blackout dates -

Per fare rules pretty much everyday, I just checked June 30th - July 7th on Expedia and it comes up easily, since it expires tonight midnight I suppose it's the local time (now extended until Jan 31st).

You can also book on Delta too. I reason I used AM as example, you can see major sites around Mexico City without creating stopover, in my first post's example. You need to create 4 segments on Expedia's multi-city booking to make it work

YYZ-MEX AM693
MEX-GUA AM670 (next day)
GUA-MEX AM679
MEX-YYZ AM692 (next day)

Outbound - AM693 arrives at 1pm, enough time to get to National Museum of Anthropology.
Return - AM679 arrives at night, stay near airport, and go to Pyramid of the Sun next morning, more than enough time to catch AM692 in the evening.

You can also make this work with Vancouver and Montreal since they're flying twice dailies.

It's available almost every day in Jan/Feb/Mar (didn't check beyond that). There appears to be no min/max stay so if you want you can go and come straight back.

You will have to be quick though as the fare expires on 14 January.

Also from YVR it's a better deal than from YYZ/YUL; there're AV and CM deals at the moment for around $550-$700 from ORD, EWR, and YUL if I don't mind skipping MEX and need *A miles. All options here are in 737s and A320s so no lieflat seats.

From YVR, it's usually at least $1200, the same way AM's current $2200 CDG deal, from YYZ/YUL not great but from YVR it's much cheaper than the rest of the options.
