Multi-City Stopover Plane Air Ticket
An air ticket from Guatemala to New York City, stay three days…then New York to Lima, Peru is cheaper at 693 US Dollars.
Then
Guatemala to Lima, Peru for 747 US Dollars.

I have been doing this now for about three years, I call them stopover tickets, I find the direct plane trip is often the most expensive. What I look for is the highly competitive milk air route, not what seems short and logical.

I often get a short taste the city or country vacation before I eat it. It is amazing how often I can have a small trip for kicks, and save money on plane tickets.

I can also fly to Chicago for 693, and then onto Lima, Peru, I am on Kayak.com doing this query.

Getting the cheap air ticket is strange, the distance, the direct route is often the most expensive, it is almost always cheaper to go the high traffic routes. I keep trying to construct a map of all the best airplane paths to follow.

How much to pay.
Get on this page, calculate the miles, then multiply times .10 to .20 cents US per mile.

2057 Mile from Guatemala to Lima, Peru
2057 x .10 is… 205 Dollars
2057 x .20 is… 411 Dollars

When the local travel agencies wanted 745 for this trip, I new I was on a gouge the traveler or tourist route, milk them, not a not a milk route, time to look for the indirect stopover milk route.

Andy,While I certainly agree with the thinking of flying the cheapest route no matter the total distance or time, I do have one observation. $54 USD is the difference in price you mention with a 3 day stop in New York. If you have a reason to be there, great, however I can't imagine 3 days in the big apple costing less than 54 bucks unless you have a friends place to flop.Just checked Spirit Airlines and Guatemala to Ft Lauderdale to Lima came out to $414 USD (May 13-14).Eric

Wow, 414 is cheap.Lauderdale would be Great, go to the beach, Button, and remember spring break.I need to find a server, host, need to blab with some advertisers, so there are reasons to go to New York.But NY was an example, I now am testing Salt Lake City, because my two designated servers Westhost.com are in Salt Lake City UTAH. a company called Pair.com is in Pittsburgh PA.I need to go walk through these server farms if I am going to own large plots of the farm...Trying to get Andrew, boy genius to Utah for an inspection also soon. We have serious db and apache problems, too much traffic.
