Airline Prices Have risen
Dec
2
2011
I am trying to book a visit to Cotacachi for a possible retirement spot. I was going in February. The airfare has risen from $ 455. to $ 755. USD. Is there some way I can navigate around this incredible increase???
Answer #2
I too have noticed the incredible increases in airfare!! We had booked travel to EC for this past September but had to cancel, and last night I was researching airfares (I also like Kayak) for this coming March and found them to be just a little less than double…I’m guessing that the airlines are getting wise to just how many people are planning visits to EC so maybe they are taking advantage of this surge in popularity of travel to EC???
The best I could find was to fly to Miami, then connect to the AA flight – it’s nonstop too.
Answer #3
continental also flies to EC and has some comparable rates. i also saw that for some reason flights are expensive in february.
Answer #4
February is Carnaval month, so it is natural for airfares to be higher.

Answer #1
Id try looking for flights from Miami, Atlanta or NYC, the cheapest direct flights to Ecuador can be found from there.
I like Kayak.com to compare a lot of different sites and flights at once.
If you are a senior over 60 be sire to CALL the airlines when buying and get the senior discount!
The airlines that fly to Ecuador are …
AEROGAL
AVIANCA
LAN
TAME
AA
DELTA
IBERIA
hope that helps, Dom
