They offered us a very good deal for a direct flight if we leave from Newark but is a little too far from our house. We are very happy with the price we got.

My wife and I are planning to be in Peru for Christmas, too. We are flying separate though. I have a free ticket through Continental (frequent flier miles), which my wife is going to use. The regular Continental prices are outrageous in December though, which I can't justify paying for. So I'm using a free Southwest ticket to fly into Ft. Lauderdale then take a shuttle to Miami International for a Lan flight to Peru (something like $600 or $700 round-trip). I guess if one good thing has come from having Southwest and Continental credit cards, this would be it. :rolleyes:

I would love to know what dates of travel you have on LAN from Miami for that price. We live in Ft. Lauderdale and have been trying to get flights to Lima for Christmas and can't find anything less than $1,100 on LAN, American, COPA or Spirit (yuk)

I also tried using my frequent flyer miles to get 2 free tickets on LAN or American for Christmas and there were none to be had. They told me there have been no seats for frequent flyers to Peru for Christmas time since February this year......

Hi there!

Just check if you are going to be able to use that specific tkts for that date, Christmas time is very busy, I'm saying this because Sil got a free tkt but couldn't use it on those dates, he went to visit me during Thanks giving.

$600 OR $700 for Chritmas is an awesome price, go for it, ours is not going down ($2000). Today Sil told me that he is getting 2 full weeks off in December so we might go back to Peru for Christmas if the prices go down but I doubt it.

take care people

We've got to keep our hopes up that prices will come down for Christmas. If they came down from over $650.00 2 months ago for Labor Day weekend to $360.00 I think we may have a chance they will come down for Christmas.

My wife and I are planning to be in Peru for Christmas, too. We are flying separate though. I have a free ticket through Continental (frequent flier miles), which my wife is going to use. The regular Continental prices are outrageous in December though, which I can't justify paying for. So I'm using a free Southwest ticket to fly into Ft. Lauderdale then take a shuttle to Miami International for a Lan flight to Peru (something like $600 or $700 round-trip). I guess if one good thing has come from having Southwest and Continental credit cards, this would be it. :rolleyes:

SKTEAMO

I would love to know what dates of travel you have on LAN from Miami for that price. We live in Ft. Lauderdale and have been trying to get flights to Lima for Christmas and can't find anything less than $1,100 on LAN, American, COPA or Spirit (yuk)

I also tried using my frequent flyer miles to get 2 free tickets on LAN or American for Christmas and there were none to be had. They told me there have been no seats for frequent flyers to Peru for Christmas time since February this year......

I haven't booked yet, but the dates I looked at were MIA-LIMA: 12/17 and LIMA-MIA: 12/30. They're in the middle of the week, so I think that makes a big difference. I just went to www.lan.com, and the price as of five minutes ago was $650. Of course, at that price I can't make any changes or get a refund once it's booked. So if you're definite on your travel plans, it sounds like the way to go.

Shows you how things can change in a week.

I just re-checked our dates of travel for December and the prices have now dropped just about half. Now only $675.00

Come on LAN.... keep lowering those prices

Oh My God guys book your flights as soon as you can don't make the mistake we made. We found the perfect tkts for Christmas Dec19-Jan03 via COPA we hate to flight with stops but this was a very short stop in Panama (less than hour) the price $838 and we said, LET'S WAIT ONE MORE WEEK, big mistake the next week the price went up to $1650 and the following week $2060, I'm sure the price went down a little bit but not under $1000.

Another tip, we booked our flights through LAN.COM but as if we were booking from Lima (NY-LIM-NY) and we got a very good price, much better than all the other websites.

Good luck amigos!

Martin be prepared, a friend of mine came to NY VIa Spirit an told us thta the service is horrible! and I herad the same thing from other people.

Actually 1 checked back paid online is $15.00 and $25.00 at the airport.

Also bring a credit card with you or you will get no food, water, soda or drinks. You have to pay for everything on Spirit

Soda and Juices $3.00. Coffee and Water $2.00. Snacks around $4.00. Beer and Wine $5.00

Has anyone flown on Spirit before? I don't care about the food/ drink situation, I'm cool, I'll eat before & after, but the prices are really good from NY La Guardia. It's like 300 dollars cheaper. What you guys think? Should I go for it?
