South America Deals: Calgary to Peru, Chile, Argentina - $700s and $800s roundtrip including taxes
20
May
If you've ever wanted to visit South America, today would probably be a very good day to check the airfare prices.
There seems to be a few unusually good prices to some South American destinations from Calgary today, on a variety of airlines (mainly involving Air Canada, LAN, and Aeromexico).
My pick:
If you feel overwhelmed by the choices, my pick would probably be the deals from Calgary to Santiago, Chile.
Chile rarely goes on sale (usually $1200+ from Calgary), and there's many great months to visit, such as November & December for the Patagonia area (summer in the southern hemisphere).
And late September to mid November for Santiago (spring time).
All of which fall in line with the months available for this deal.
Let's examine the available South American destinations in order of price, from Calgary...
Calgary to Lima, Peru (LIM) - $707 to $736 CAD roundtrip including taxes
When: late September 2015 to December 2015
Airlines involved: Air Canada, Aeromexico, and LAN
Heads up: There are a variety of different flight options, some involving overnight stays in Toronto, while others involve an overnight stay in Mexico City. If you want a flight without overnight stays, look for the $736 flights with 1 stop each way (usually in Los Angeles)
Click on 'Show Details' once you get to Kayak to review the itinerary. Some flights don't require overnight stays, and have just 1 stop each way (I've identified them in the links below).
How: search on Kayak, click through to Expedia or Travelocity
Example searches:
Nov 04 to Nov 14 - 1 stop on the way back, no overnight stays
Alternatively, you can fly into Lima (LIM) and out of Cusco (CUZ) for $656 to $689 including taxes.
How: Search on Kayak, click through to Expedia for booking.
Example dates:
Calgary to Santiago, Chile (SCL) - $775 to $802 CAD roundtrip including taxes
When: September 2015 to mid-December 2015
Airlines involved: Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, LAN, Aeromexico
Heads up: There are a large variety of different flight itineraries available for under $800. Most of those ones involve a stopover of at least 7 hours in Mexico City. There are also some for under $820 with shorter stopovers.
Tip: When you get to Kayak, try using the 'Durations' sliders on the left, and bring the 'Flight Leg' slider down to 21 hours.
This should yield some flights for $806 to $818 on LAN that are fairly decent in terms of travel time.
16 hours of total travel time each way is about as fast as Calgary - Chile can be done, and these ones are 20 hours.
How: search on Kayak and click through to Expedia
Example searches:
Nov 03 - Nov 13 - $802 - over Remembrance Day
Nov 24 to Dec 04 - $802
Calgary to Buenos Aires, Argentina (EZE) - $822 to $836 CAD roundtrip including taxes
^^ it's been many years since I've seen a Calgary - Argentina flight in the $800s.
When: October 2015 to early December 2015
Airlines involved: Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, LAN
Heads up: These have overnight stays on the way back, in Los Angeles.
How: search on Kayak and click through to FlightHub
Example searches:
Multi-City Deal: Calgary to Buenos Aires, Argentina and then to Santiago, Chile and then back to Calgary - $865 for all 3 flights!
It looks like Air Canada is now offering some amazing multi-city deals, where you can visit Argentina *and* Chile for just $865 after taxes, including the flight between Buenos Aires and Chile. I've definitely never seen anything like this before.
When: October 2015 to mid-December 2015
Airlines involved: Air Canada
How: search on Google Flights and click through to Air Canada to book.
Heads Up: In most cases, you can either do Argentina first, or Chile first. Either way, it seems to result it in a 1-stop flight in one direction, and a 2-stop flight in the opposite direction.
Example searches:
(these searches are for a 2 week trip, spending one week in Argentina and one week in Chile. It is possible to find longer trips by mixing and matching the departure/return dates from the various examples below.
For example, if you modify the dates on Google Flights to Nov 05 to Nov 11 to Nov 25 it will work as well).
