WOW!

Why are the airfares so high now a days. Am I looking in the wrong places or what? Is Copa Air my best and only option flying from Los Angeles to Medellin?

Thanks in advance....

Not sure what you are talking about. Airfare from MSY to MDE typically runs me about $650.00. Just checking expedia it is $450.00.

I understand what cazadorez is saying. Three weeks ago, I found flights from Albany, NY to Santa Marta for $590 on Continental. Today, the same itinerary is listing for over $2,000. So I'm looking at Spirit from LaGuardia to Cartegena for $440. I'll also have to pay around $100 each way for rental car drop-off between Albany and LaGuardia and about $60,000COP each way for puerta a puerta Santa Marta - Cartagena. Should have grabbed the cheap fairs when I could, but I couldn't get my scheduling to work out.

The best day to book is on Tuesday mornings so I have found. The prices are usually the highest on Sat and Sun (based on my research).

First it was high gas prices.

Now it is because most airlines are losing money hand over fist.

Travelocity may still have some of the cheep tickets left. I just got a ticket for August, >Pittsburgh to Bogota<
Delta $440. You have lo look at every site you can find. Delta was $600 for the same flight but through Travelocity it was $440
