blog@mobissimo.com (Mobissimo) — Thu, 24 Aug 2006 12:16:42 -0700

Well, we're getting back to cheaper fares from the summer time fare extravaganza. If you travel to Europe in the summer, you're going to pay, simple as that. Some good fares here and probably the best time to go, in my mind.

Best Fares from San Francisco to Latin America - Prices Very High

blog@mobissimo.com (Mobissimo) — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 16:39:03 -0700

Well, it's summer and fares are always expensive, even though it's winter down there, also, gas prices are high. Mexico City is cheap though, though being in DF this time of year is about as much fun as rolling around in steak sauce and going to the dog pound.

Lots of good prices here, the lowest ever for the Asia FareIndex. While it's probably super muggy-step outside feel like stepping into a shower time, well, not yet, it's getting there, fares are so low, you should schedule that trip to the Far East.

The Prague of 2006? Buenos Aires ad nauseum

blog@mobissimo.com (Mobissimo) — Wed, 26 Apr 2006 10:36:38 -0700

How many times have you heard that you must visit Argentina and Buenos Aires? I've been going since the early 90s, the travel pioneer that I am, but it is still a good time to go (login may be required).

Travelers Are Heading to Buenos Aires for the Culture -- and Staying for the $250 Rent

By Allen Salkin
Special to The Washington Post
Sunday, April 23, 2006
Meghan Curry starts her day with a walk to the river. The former real estate agent from Denver, who is 26, holds hands with her fiance, Patricio de Vasconcellos, 31, a wavy-haired Argentine with dark eyes, as they gaze over the coffee-colored waters of the Rio de la Plata. Around midday, when de Vasconcellos heads to work at the wine shop where the two met a year ago, Curry settles into her two-bedroom apartment to work on her travel memoir and a collection of poetry. Then she might nap or head downtown for café con leche with friends at one of the city's thousands of outdoor cafes. Later, much later, it's time for a slow dinner on Buenos Aires time, where many restaurants don't open until 10 p.m.

If this sounds appealing to you, you should head down. If you haven't already, you should subscibe to the Latin American FareIndex to get updated pricing and trends - a huge tool for those wanting the optimal time to purchase a ticket.

Best Fares from New York to Europe - Prices Not Bad Right Now

blog@mobissimo.com (Mobissimo) — Mon, 17 Apr 2006 12:45:09 -0700

Yes, we've turned the corner on low to high season, so expect prices to start inching up towards the $700 and $800 level. Sigh* Still, prices are not that bad, so a quick trip to Europe is within your reach.

Best Fares from San Francisco to Latin America - Big Dip in Prices, Head Out Now!

blog@mobissimo.com (Mobissimo) — Mon, 10 Apr 2006 16:56:17 -0700

At the end of April, there is usually a dip in prices to South America because it's right after Easter, so not too many people are travelling. It's a great opportunity to head down and get some sun. If you've been rained on, snowed on, beat on by the weather, now's your chance to shed your woolens and expose your pasty white body to the brilliantly tanned, magically sculpted natives of Brasil, or maybe Venezuela. Or you could just hang with others of your kind in Costa Rica, sheesh, that fare is cheap.

Best Fares from San Francisco to Latin America - Big Price Increases, Panama City Cheaper!

blog@mobissimo.com (Mobissimo) — Thu, 23 Mar 2006 12:53:53 -0800

Unfortunately, we have turned the corner, April signifies the entrance into the high season for airfare and the prices reflect this. Sigh* Prices higher for most all destinations, except Panama City, which is a great destination. Perhaps now is the time to discover why Manuel Noriega loved this country so - perhaps the lax banking laws and well maintained infra-structure for smuggling. Nice.

It's becoming Spring in most of Europe as temperatures are rising. Prices, however, have remained low, and now is a great time to go to Europe from LA. Though it's super warm in LA, a quick little ski trip to Switzerland or Italy could be the ticket.
