Cheap flights to Buenos Aires
Hello fellow travelers,
My husband and I are new to flyertalk and were wondering if anyone in the online community might be able to help us find the cheapest possible plane tickets to Buenos Aires, Argentina. We plan to fly out at the end of December. Typically, I would buy the tickets far in advance; however, in light of the financial crisis, I am wondering if it would be better to wait. Does anyone think it likely that airline tickets will drop drastically in the upcoming week despite the holidays? They seem to have fallen even within the last few weeks, and I am wondering whether the trend will continue. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Travel on!

It's hard to predict prices, but its already late to be looking for deals to SA over the holiday season. You may get lucky if demand falls off sharply, but its rare to see sales to S. America over the X-mas/new years break. If you can find something at a price you can afford, I'd take it. You're not far from the 21-day advance purchase, that is usually required for the better deals.

South America in their summer is a pretty popular destination that doesn't have a huge amount of capacity compared to other routings like TransPac or TATL. It is also holiday time, so you have foreign ex-pats returning home, ex-pats from abroad heading back, tourists, etc..
You can find some relative bargains for business class - AC is showing (out of YVR) for $3.8K CAD all in vs the normal $6K+ - but I wouldn't count on any economy sales.
