Either one way or round trip, although round trip will probably be cheaper.

Your wedding dress? It doesn't matter. It depends on the airline and how they can accommodate it.

Hey Andrea,

Check the prices for both and buy whichever is cheaper. I am looking at Miami for Betty's POE and, if I buy it 1 week in advance, a round-trip on LAN is the cheapest. Just throw the return ticket away.

In case you're wondering, it doesn't matter to US Immigration if you don't have a return ticket.

Only Continental Airlines flies direct between Houston and Lima, right? You might check their website. Sometimes you can save a few bucks by buying direct through them. BTW, the Houston POE is my favorite of the 3 I use from Lima (MIA, HOU, ATL). Fastest and least confusing of the three.

Another point, Atlanta is only about 200 km further from NO as Houston, roughly an extra 3-hr drive. You might want to check prices to Atlanta as well. Delta has a direct flight between Lima and Atlanta every day.

If you're traveling by yourself and can risk a day or two in arriving, another option is to fly stand-by. I know that my last two flights from Lima to Houston/Atlanta have not been completely full and all stand-bys got seats. You save money but I don't know how much.

Round trip is the cheapist..

http://www.expedia.com

http://www.sidestep.com

http://www.travelocity.com

and Orbitz.com but they didn't fly out of Chisinau Moldova so I don't use them much....

These are the cheapist I've found... and the price includes the taxes and other fee's..not like some of the others..that try to fake you out with their low price until you see the finally price after taxes...

Chris-n-Veronica remind me of another point. American Airlines includes the Lima departure tax in their airfares -- none of the others flying from Lima to the US do that (Continental, Delta, LAN, COPA). That's a $30.25 difference to remember if your decision is that close.

My Fiancee and I like to use http://www.cheapflights.com/ they have some awesome deals, but think they only handle flights out of the US or Incoming Flights from UK and Ireland, but never hurts to check it out, they usually have great International Flight deals, on my fiancees last trip He paid about $400 USD with taxes included in that that price, roundtrip from london to Dulles and back with British Airways non stop flights and no layovers.

Scott and Misty Offcial Webpage!

How does it happen, Great love?... Noone knows.. But I what I do know is it happens in a blink of an eye. One minutes your happily living your life and the next your wondering how you ever lived without them.

Through my own experience, I used travelocity or cheapflights and never had a problem, but that's just me, I'm sure there are plenty of others.
