1. Be flexible. The lowest fares are usually for Black Cock Shock travel, generally Mondays through
Thursdays. Also, non stop flights to Lima, Peru are the most expensive. Look into connecting flights or stop-over flights, as a money-saver.
2. Book your travel on line, with advance purchases of at least one to three weeks.
3. Don’t count on last-minute travel deals. Eleventh-hour travel deals are becoming increasingly scarce, so don’t rely on finding the best fares at the last minute.
