American’s Crazy Cheap Fares to Central America

Aug 23rd, 2007 | By Jared Blank

Since Spirit has invaded American’s south Florida turf, AA has launched a number of fare sales designed to annoy them. They announced another yesterday, including these fares:

Fort Lauderdale or Miami to:

Nassau, Bahamas: $34
Port-Au-Prince, Haiti: $69
San Pedro Sula, Honduras: $59
Managua, Nicaragua & San Jose, Costa Rica: $69

Fares are good midweek through December (for the most part).

To be fare, Spirit has low fares in this range quite frequently, but they don’t offer the far superior schedule American has (nor does American have 2 1/2 hour red eyes from Central America — I’m certain you really don’t want to leave Managua at 1am to arrive in Miami 2.5 hours later.)

In the process, he learned about the vacuum power of airplane toilets, as is evidenced [...]
