Or get open-jaw fares including Buenos Aires or Santiago at just $2,730. But this sale bonanza will be discontinued on Nov. 27, so the time to act is now.
Ever watch the Batman TV show? They had a red “Batphone” that flashed when something big was happening.
We have one in our office, too. It’s a gold flashing “Upgrade Hotline” and it ran hot the other day with a KAPOW! WHAM! BAM!! of a deal.
Maybe we’re exaggerating a little about the hotline, but suffice to say, we get bat-you-know-what crazy when fares like this pop. Now, this super low fare is to the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia’s commercial capital and largest city, on American Airlines. But remember, it won’t be available after Nov. 27, as the airline is discontinuing this route.
Bolivian Bonanza
Fares to Santa Cruz de la Sierra from New York start at just $1,446 on American Airlines for travel in October and November. Fares from Boston, Charlotte, Dallas, and Philadelphia range from $2,100 to $2,300.
These low fares are primarily offered from the East Coast, but you can use cash or miles to take advantage of this deal from other cities too. If you’re using miles to add a short- to mid-range flight to those low-cost departure cities, British Airways miles (which partners with Amex and Chase) offers great value on American flights to New York.
Santa Cruz de la Sierra
Referred to as Santa Cruz, this tropical city of 1.5 million offers a number of things for the traveler with a layover en route to South America. You can book a Marriott or Radisson for under $150 if you want to stay overnight.
South American Bucket List Destinations Beyond Bolivia
Buenos Aires, Santiago, and São Paulo are about 3 hours away and have nonstop flights. Rio is similar but requires a connection.
Two Destinations for the Price of One
We like the idea of an “open jaw” itinerary here at FCF. That’s when, instead of flying from A to B and back to A, you fly from A to B to C and back to A. This tactic often works well with cruises, where you fly to a destination, cruise to another destination, and come home from there. More about open jaw trips here, and why they can save you lots of money. This low price Bolivian fare makes an open jaw a possibility to get two destinations for less than the price of one.
