I think it's kind of cool that you just walked across the border in remote Colombia and Brazil. Maybe it's not exactly Indiana Bones, but sounds cool.

Posts: 2041International airfares are greatly influenced by government policy and less about competitive, market prices. First and foremost, you have governments that restrict the number of international flights. Then the portion for taxes assessed on an international fare can be ridiculous depending on the country of destination and the country of departure.
For some reason, it's become expensive over the years to fly from my U.S. city to Toronto and Montreal (where the mongering laws are far more lax). A similar distanced flight inside the USA will be far cheaper. Yet, both Toronto and Montreal have ambitious tourism boards, but the national governments seem to try to kill travel between the two countries.

Posts: 614Prices from Europe
The US prices are outrageous. KLM is selling return tickets to Rio from where I live in Europe at EUR 550 (USD 640). I paid EUR 644 (USD 750) for my ticket to Rio, because my return flight is from Sao Paulo.

Also best fares are found 45 to 90 days before you fly and check for fares on a Tuesday.

On the other hand, for an Australian to get to South America, it is rather expensive for them. Flights to DPS with a single connection were suddenly $1000 USD or more, and involved a long layover, regardless of whether you went over the Pacific or over the Persian Gulf. Kuala Lumpur, (code KUL) is a cheap destination to reach and it is well served by the "Big Three" of the Persian Gulf. Flights from there to Bali (or anywhere else in SE Asia) were cheap, less than $100 RT on different regional airlines. So KUL was my connecting hub and my hobby zone on both ends of the trip (yes, you can monger well in KL, though not like in BKK). So I found the sweet spot for low airfare costs and a fun weekend on both ends of the journey.
Now, that I went off on that tangent, I will get to the question at hand. I was wondering if there is a Latin American equivalent to KUL. That is, an airport that is inexpensive to get to, and also offers cheap flights to other destinations on the continent. The key feature of KUL is that it is home to AirAsia, a low cost airline. When you book a flight through KUL, internet search engines don't include low cost carriers like Batik, Malindo and AirAsia. Is South America any different? Last I looked BOG was the busiest airport in South America. Does it host budget regional carriers? I can get there cheap on Spirit and AeroMexico. And its a mongering capital, as well.
When I search flights to GIG, there are all kinds of out of the way routes to Brazil when you look for the cheapest fares. And when you live in Dallas, taking a flight to Toronto, Chicago or Newark to catch a direct flight to Brazil seems incredibly stupid. Something tells me there has to be a better way. Any suggestions or insights would be appreciated.

Posts: 366More Economic flights to Rio from US?
I do not know what it is but it seems there are never any cheap airfairs. I can get to Paris or Medellin or even Montevideo for 500 round trip. But for some reason, Brazil is always high, I think the chepaest I ever got was 950.
What gives? IS there a travel hack to get a cheaper flight to Rio? Leaving from a certain city? I tried Azul even leaving from Ft Laudreal and it's still cost a pieace. I would visit rio more often if the airfair wasn't soo ridiciollus!
Let me know any tips you guys have found.
