Flight transfers in South and Central America?

Question

I really fancy going to Argentina (Buenos Aires and some stuff out of the city too) and my friend is thinking of going to Cuba. Does anyone know of a good travel website that would let us book flights that went something like London - Havana - North Argentina - Buenos Aires - London?

I thought STA travel would be good but their website doesn't let you have that many options....

Any ideas?

I live in London but I'd fly from pretty much anywhere in the UK if it was cheaper.

Answer 1

Airtreks.com or Airbrokers.com do multistop tickets like that.  Also the London travel agency Trailfinders.

Answer 2

To reduce cost you need to do the trans-Atlantic flights on a single carrier, or a code-share. For South America you're looking at BA/Iberia, KLM, Air France, etc. Don't fly through the USA if you want to go to Havana - it is possible but extremely difficult. As many travel agencies are American-owned (including STA) that is why you can't book a flight to Havana with them. Opodo is not American and I found flights to Havana on there.

An open jaw would work - this is where you fly from A to B, make your own arrangements from B to C, and then fly back from C to A.

If you're going to Iguacu Falls, I suggest you make it a side trip from BA rather than trying to fly from Havana to Iguacu.
