What is the cheapest city to fly out of to South America? What is the cheapest city to fly into in S. America?

Question

I'm planning a trip to South America, and I was curious what city on the West Coast (or the rest of the US) is the cheapest to fly out of. Also, what city in South America is the cheapest to fly into? I've found the LAX is pretty cheap to fly out of, and Lima, Peru is pretty cheap to fly into. Any advice?

Also, any really cheap places to buy tickets online that anybody knows of?

Answer 1

Miami and Atlanta.

Answer 2

to fly out is either los angeles or miami

to fly I guess depending on the proximity of the city you are flying out.

I guess Cuba will be cheaper from Miami (if they let you)

or Puerto Rico.

Inexpensive cities are Peru (Machupichu), Colombia (the caribean) etc

Answer 3

The best website for South America right now is despegar (www.despegar.com) They specialize in looking for the cheapest flight in and out of South America.

Answer 4

In the West Coast, obviously San Francisco and LA.

If you choose the right time you'll find very good deals in any of these two cities.

I flew from San Francisco to Lima-Peru with a 45 minute stop in El Salvador for only $498 on May of this year. I flew with Taca, which can be very cheap sometimes and very expensive too.
