Edmonton to Colombia or Argentina - $264 to $368 CAD roundtrip including taxes

Bogota, Colombia

Aeromexico is showing what appears to be some mistake fares from Edmonton to Bogota and Medellin, Colombia for between $264 and $313 CAD roundtrip including taxes.

The flights are quite long, with 2 stops each way (Vancouver and Mexico City) - and 18 to 22 hours of travel time. In some cases, it's possible to find layovers in Mexico City that are so long you can check out Mexico City for the day.

If anyone does decide to book these, wait at least 48-72 hours before booking anything else related to the trip. Sometimes mistake fares work out, other times they don't.

Clicking through from Google Flights to Expedia or CheapoAir will have the best chance of the ticket being issued quickly.

Mistake fares can often disappear quickly, I will update this blog post when they are no longer available.

Update: It looks like there are also some mistake fares to Buenos Aires, Argentina for $368 CAD roundtrip, although the travel times are ridiculously long. There are some for $425-$496 CAD roundtrip that are more reasonable.

You can also try stretching out the layovers in Mexico City to 1 or 2 nights in both directions (see below for instructions).

UPDATE Dec 14. For those that had their tickets cancelled by Expedia today, a few people have told me they called to inquire and Expedia reinstated their tickets.

One person's experience: "I booked tickets for me and my son to fly from Victoria to Lima, Peru. My tickets were cancelled as expected. I called Expedia to see if anything could be done and they reinstated the tickets at the discounted price which I guess was a mistake. I had asked for a confirmation email regarding the reinstatement which the airline sent out (also a mistake I found out) but since Expedia has a policy that prohibits fare changes after a confirmation has been sent out so they're covering the difference in price for me which means we're still go to Peru at the discounted rate. Great news! Good luck to everyone else! I hope you get your tickets."

Some people who booked through Aeromexico directly have been asked by Aeromexico to provide them with a picture of their ID and credit card in order for the booking to be honored.

- Try the same dates you found on Google Flights.

You can also try stretching out the layovers in Mexico City to 1 or 2 nights in both directions

1. Start with the following Google Flights Multi City search:

Google Flights: Edmonton to Mexico City to Buenos Aires to Mexico City to Edmonton

Edmonton (YEG) to Mexico City (MEX)
Mexico City (MEX) to Buenos Aires (EZE)
Buenos Aires (EZE) to Mexico City (MEX)

2. Try using dates that are similar to the roundtrip dates you found on Google Flights above.

For example, if you found a cheap roundtrip flight from October 7 to October 23, try starting with...

October 7 to October 8 to October 21 to October 23

You may need to keep the Mexico City flights within 1-2 days of Buenos Aires for the price to remain low.

3. In the example above, the first leg has a reasonable layover in Vancouver. The second and third legs are nonstop. And the fourth leg has a reasonable layover in Vancouver. And the price is still $391 !
