Crazy price drops to Central America!! From $391 roundtrip after taxes

Update: December 13th - The fare war to Central America appears to be over. Prices on all airlines look to be back up to the $700-$1000 range.
------

Update: December 12th - The crazy prices to Central America continue, with Delta and Continental getting in on the action now. Delta & Continental look to have matched many of the prices put out by AA, on certain dates.

This also gives you a better chance of finding more reasonable flights (shorter stopovers, no overnighters) to Central America.

Here's what I've seen so far, using a 3 day flexible date search on Kayak...

Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR) - $381 roundtrip after taxes (reasonable flight lengths both ways on Delta)

Tegucigalpa, Honduras (TGU) - $362 roundtrip after taxes (Delta: long flights both ways, Continental: long flights on the way there, short ones coming home)

Belize (BZE) - $403 roundtrip after taxes (Delta: long flights on the way there, reasonable ones coming home).

-----------------------

American Airlines has just made an unadvertised cut on their fares to Central America from all across Canada. The prices are ridiculous, and I believe the largest overall price cuts from Calgary to Central America, ever.

Here's what I've discovered so far...

- Prices between February and May look to be affected the most
- Some routes on AA to Central America require an overnight stay in the U.S.

Here are the cities that have dropped , and I'll provide an example search on Kayak in late February for each one.
Try your own dates and see what comes up. Play around on Kayak to find cheap ones with good routings.

You can also play around with a multi-city search, and fly into one of those cities, and out of another, for a cheap price.

Huge fare war from Calgary to Amsterdam - $616 roundtrip after taxes - affecting fares up to May 2012

There's a huge fare war to Amsterdam (AMS) going on at the moment. You do see the occasional charter flight on Air Transat to Amsterdam that drops down to this level, but it's extremely rare to see nearly all the major airlines drop a price to Europe like this that affects such a large range of dates.

Expedia promo to Vegas. Not as interesting as last year, but still interesting.

Those of you that have been following my posts for nearly a year might remember the Expedia flub last November that lead to packages to Vegas for as cheap as $19/person after taxes & fees for flight + hotel packages from all across Canada.

Good June 2012 deal to Scandanavia - Into Norway and out of Sweden - $865 roundtrip after taxes

There's a few reasons I like this deal. For starters, it involves 2 Scandinavian countries that rarely ever seem to budge from their expensive price tags.. It's also in June 2012, and it's pretty rare to see a deal to anywhere in Europe this far ahead of departure.
