American Airlines is offering these same Central American destinations at sale prices on trips taken now and finished by Oct. 31. In some cases the airfare is lower by as much as $80 per round-trip, whereas other cities are priced from $15-$20 higher per ticket. For autumn travel, a two week advance purchase notice is required.
Sale airfares are always subject to change. Every seat on every flight is not offered at the lowest rate. Since only a limited supply of seats is available, act quickly to make your purchase.
I recommend starting the search for available seats at Kayak.com vs. calling an airline directly. You can also search for the sale at travel websites such as Expedia or Travelocity, etc.
If Costa Rica is on your trip radar, check out current deals listed at Travelzoo. Savings of up to 55% are offered at resorts, on all-inclusive stays, and on adventures such as river rafting, and canopy tours. Here’s the link to book: http://www.travelzoo.com/costa_rica .
