Your time period is the absolute height of the busy season. It is a seller's market.

Things will change after Jan. 15.

That is about normal for this time of year. I paid $700 for that same flight last new years eve and I bought my tickets in October.

I just checked AA.com

$532 R/T but then you add taxes... $618

You could save some $$$ by going Dec 26-31 ... $479 RT w/ tax $567

Hell, it's too short of a trip in my eyes.... happy hunting

LAN out of Miami to Bogota is the same price as AA. With superior service and amenities.

BEWARE of gold diggers.

Damn short trip it is, reason why I want to stretch it to the max, but any return flight during the first week of Jan/08 will double your cost, and I'm returning 01/02, so I'll pay through the nose.
Wife took our two-year old Sophia for "show-'n-tell" until Feb 12 and I just got to were I just had to go...
I got a return trip on 01/02 via AA for $779.70, & was about to book Avianca Ft Laud-Bogo $290, then their server crashed; or maybe they just quit at 2:00am.

Its across the board tickets are high...well talking about January and February and I hunt trust me..I go back and forth....Copa is tacking on a higher fuel surcharge now...Tougher for me because I go to Medellin...and Bogota has more options......I ended using miles with Copa and American for January..which I got a good price 35,000 with Copa and 30,000 with American but did that three weeks ago.. Lets see if the fuel goes down and prices get back down inbetween 400-450 out of South Florida.. Cheapest including taxes right now for January and February is Copa at 506.00 only on www.copaair.com for MIA-MDE don't know about Bogota or other cities..won't pay that..because I am one cheap son a bitch don't give in to the airlines will wait one of the airlines will need to start filling seats after the holiday..

Cheers...Flying out 12/21 out of MIA if I survive will be crazy..Avianca had that ticket since June..
