Flights out of Miami are getting dirt cheap

Just to let anybody know who hasn't checked lately; round trip, direct flights from Miami to Bogota are getting extremely inexpensive right now. I booked a round trip for January on LAN 2 days ago for $265 usd. Today, the same flight is $239! For LAN, the cheapest day for departure seems to be Saturdays, and the cheapest for the return is Thursdays.

So YOU like the lower prices? Stop and think about the why the price is dropping? With the economic downturn, demand is down so the airlines want to attract passengers to fill the seats. More importantly, oil is down to 60 a barrel so they can lower fares as well. You, the consumer wins with free market forces.

Maybe however, Obama will have the government re-regulate the airline industry and the government will set the fare not the free market and you can enjoy let us say....one thousand dollars minumum round trip Miami-Bogota? I am not saying this will happen but....think again about why you voted Obama? Just a thought mind you for I hope Obama does well but I didn't vote for him!

Johnny, I was looking to see if there was some good news that I could use to my advantage...yet, it is what it is. In another post, I reminded myself that I don't have to join every fight. I'll keep looking for helpful travel tips.

Sorry johnny2008, but the Democrats have said "regulate" and this could include the airlines so I mentioned this. Do I think it will happen? NO! However, we don't really know what the Democrats, supported by UNNIONs, and their leader, Obama will do? Time will tell....

I always find the cheapest rates directly on the actual airline's websites.

I'd be worried about YoBama too, if I was 'born in Afganistan' and 'lived in Afganistan'.... casa_de_norte. ;-)
