Toronto (YYZ) to New York City (JFK) >> $148 (all taxes and fees included)

[Aleem]

I just booked a great New Years Eve getaway deal through www.cheapoair.com (a US based website)

Here are the details:

Depart - December 26, 2008 from YYZ (Toronto Pearson), departs at 4:35 pm
Return - January 2, 2009 from JFK (New York City), returns at 10:05 am

$148.26 USD per person including all taxes and service charges, and includes a $10 savings per person. This price also includes flight insurance/cancellation costs, which I elected to purchase since I booked in advance and my plans my change.

This is via LAN Airways on a Boeing 767 aircraft. You are allowed to check in two pieces of luggage at no cost. LAN is part of the 'One World' global alliance of air carriers.

This price beats Air Canada, Porter, WestJet -- even beats flying Jet Blue or Southwest from Buffalo.

[Emancipated]

Air Canada or AA... or... Air mother Russia where you fly the planes?

[Billa-786]

I just typed in 15 OCT dept , 3 Nov return and it gave US $132 return taxes included. So i guess it works for other dates too.

Here's the link to the airline's offers from YYZ:

[nguyentri]

Wow those are amazing prices. Beats AC hands down.

[mcclutz]

$553 for 4 people. There's a link you can click to save an additional $10 per person.

[Talamasca]

Holy crap these are awesome prices. I went to NYC for the first time this past May and loved it. I'm tempted to go again during the Christmas-New Year's period with these fares.

[fruchick]

Holy smokes, thanks OP!

Does anyone know what LAN's change policy is? Doesn't say anything on the site re: fees, from what I can see, and I'd like to snap these up even though my travel dates are up in the air.

[fruchick]

Never mind, found the answer!

* On or before flight departure day change is permitted with US$ 50 penalty.

* Refunds: Tickets are only refundable within the first 24 hrs. of purchase/After 24 hrs non-refundable.

LAN refers as LAN airline.
It is a solid airline.

[Kfox]

ok I bite, according to wik:
LAN Airlines S.A. NYSE: LFL is an airline based in Santiago, Chile. It is the principal Chilean airline and one of the largest in South America, with flights to Latin America, United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Oceania, and Europe.

[fruchick]

Who is LAN and will they still be in business next week? memories of Zoom dance in my head

Even if LAN wasn't reputable, what's the worst that could happen to you if they go out of business while you're down there? If you're just flying to NYC, you get the Greyhound back, and make a phone call to Visa. Done and done.

The only people who got incredibly screwed over by Zoom were the ones who got stranded halfway around the world and had to buy last-minute tickets home.

Shrug.

[convoluted]

PR promo due to this?

On July 5, 2008, LAN Airlines flight 533 was involved in a near miss incident at New York's JFK airport. The aircraft, bound for Santiago, Chile, was nearly struck after take off by Cayman Airways flight 792. The Cayman aircraft, arriving at JFK from the Cayman Islands, performed a go-around after a missed landing on a perpendicular runway. Both aircraft performed steep axial tilts to avoid one another, under the control tower's direction. The FAA's statement on this incident is currently unclear, with some reports denying the incident ever happened.

I wouldnt take the Greyhound to Whitby, never mind home from NY.
having said that they do look solid

[ClubberLang]

This price is amazing

[chrza]

Looks like LAN is a Chilean airline. It probably stops off in NYC to pick up more passengers and then heads to Chile. They probably just look to fill up the seats for the Toronto - NYC leg of the trip.

[mikesmith_dude]

So, # 1, Lan Chile is one of the biggest airlines in the world. Bigger than all the airlines in Canada except for Air Canada, but its not far behind... Way bigger than westjet or any of those crappy airlines... They have more destinations than most airlines.
# 2. I would congratulate you Aleem, except I just happen to have booked the same itinerary just 2 days ago. And I payed $124 including all taxes and fees..

So it's cheaper to book through LAN's site versus cheapoair.com, right?

Tested... For Oct 03 to Nov 02 2008

Cheapoair has a better rate ($20), however, I think it is not the same
cos the journey is not same ( Cheap. uses US Airway and LAN uses
AA as return flight + Cheap got another stop in Phl)

so if you want extra 1000 points from LAN + save some time
on connecting, LAN.com has a better option.

umm..are you for real? worst that could happen is you booked the tickets and the hotel and get tickets for shows and stuff in NYC. day of departure airline goes belly up.

you lose money on your hotel and show tickets if you dont find last min tickets to nyc.

Are YOU for real? It's an 8 hour drive to NYC (or 2 hours to Buffalo to get JetBlue). Too good to rent a car or hop on MegaBus in a pinch, are we?

(and you can't convince me that after 8,000 posts you'd be so naive as to buy Broadway tickets in advance)

I just figured it out...we would have to return on a Fri or Sat flight at 11:05 am which will not work as our cruise ship returns at 8-9 am to NY..does not leave enough time to get to the airport..not even close...too bad>:(

Just booked 2 tickets for 2009 May long weekend (leave FRI, return MON)...Total came to $141 each.

Thanks for posting!

[Drew_W]

This is RED hot. If you have the time or a reason to go to NYC, that is. I was there just last week, paid more than this to fly JetBlue out of Buffalo. Plus, the 767 is awesome - nice n big so you don't get much turbulence at all.

[smoter]

Are YOU for real? It's an 8 hour drive to NYC (or 2 hours to Buffalo to get JetBlue). Too good to rent a car or hop on MegaBus in a pinch, are we?

Have you ever been to New York?
Like downtown Manhattan.
Maybe 8 hours to get to the City.
Another 2 to get INTO the City.

[Kris81]

[smoter]

This really is an unbelievable deal.
I flew United out of Buffalo in July and it was $250.
I just went thru the airline website and checked fares - $133.
The tax is actually more than the fare ($79 and 54 respectively).
Crazy.

[Juls4444]

Hmmm I think I am missing something too.?
I want to go to NYC from Nov 16-19 but it is coming in at 250?
Anyone?

This makes me question the whole "tax" situation with the airlines.
How come these guys dont have the full set of "tax" implications which normally inflate the price flying from YYZ to NYC?

[rems]

cuz they don't fly on Sundays so you're on a different airline to NY

Fuel surcharges are airline imposed, not taxes.

[parry]

The HOT fare is for a limited time only:

On the site "LAN Airlines just landed in Canada and is announcing as of September 3rd its new non stop service between NEW YORK and TORONTO with spectacular fares for a limited time."

So book now if you have your plans firmed up for your next year.

I just booked a great New Years Eve getaway deal through www.cheapoair.com (a US based website)

Here are the details:

Depart - December 26, 2008 from YYZ (Toronto Pearson), departs at 4:35 pm
Return - January 2, 2009 from JFK (New York City), returns at 10:05 am

$148.26 USD per person including all taxes and service charges, and includes a $10 savings per person. This is via LAN Airways on a Boeing 767 aircraft. You are allowed to check in two pieces of luggage at no cost. LAN is part of the 'One World' global alliance of air carriers.

This price beats Air Canada, Porter, WestJet -- even beats flying Jet Blue or Southwest from Buffalo.


Not sure if its been posted, but the 10$ savings is not so great considering if you go directly to www.lan.com the same flight will be 143.14 + a 3% (canadian) or 133.99 USD + 3% discountif you book directly from lan.com and you can get rewards from one world.

[lucidmc]

just booked may 7 - may 11 bday trip :) 2 adults = 285.27! (quote said 282.80, however my Master card conversion said a bit more ;/)

wooohooo!

[consumerPI]

Holy Shiiiiit, that's hot!.

No need for a Buffalo/JetBlue purchase with this offer!

The 1st person to actually fly this airline to NY and back, please update us on the flight.

[lucidmc]

according to seatguru.com they atleast have personal tvs, so cant be so terrible. but ya someone let us know!

[heinze57]

Just a heads up guys.

You should google

You'll find numerous complaints.

DEFINITELY! A friend got her ticket cancelled 3 days later by cheapo saying they didn't actually have any tickets for her. She called the airline and they said they never had any record of any reservations.

Better to book with the airline's website directly.

[wirebound]

We booked but through Flightcentre, protects me either way and the price was virtually the same as on the LAN website.

[Aleem]

I've flown with LAN previously codesharing with AA to Lima, Peru. No problems or concerns, seems like just another airline. I was sitting in coach, and the PTVs were fine. Overall a great flight.

I just came back from NYC a month ago, but with this deal I'm tempted to go again. I always fly from Buffalo for $150-200 USD, so this is a pretty sweet deal:)

[yyzvoyageur]

For those who have already flown LAN Airlines YYZ-JFK-YYZ, a couple questions for clarification:

1. For the YYZ-JFK leg, do we preclear US CBP in Toronto?
2. What time do you recommend getting to the airport? I imagine this flight continues on to Santiago and, thus, most people will be at YYZ 3 hours+ in advance.

[xcell]

what's this airline like? any reviews?

cheap flight....for sure ...now if only the NY hotels were cheap...the flight is cheaper than the hotel...i could fly in every day and save money

I just typed in Nov 22- Nov 29 and the price is coming up for 2 people at 543.40 why can't I seem to fine the special fare

There are two possibilities:

1) The base fare which produced the $148 all-in is no longer available or
2) the dates you are looking for are sold out.

You should google how to find lowest price fares and understand how fare buckets work.

LAN has nice planes. The seats were roomy, you get your own tv and get to choose what to watch on it. Even had video games on it. You get a sandwich for a snack and not just peanuts. I would recommend it...

[yyzvoyageur]

We just returned from NYC on LAN Airlines. Left YYZ on Friday and returned Monday. Cost was just under CAD 200.00 each all-in. I would recommend LAN for sure. The service was great. On the return trip, we were upgraded to J class which was nice. My only complaint is that they did not have any Canadian declaration/disembarkation cards on-board and we had to complete them in the Customs hall. Just a minor annoyance on an otherwise flawless flight.

Agree to go with Priceline.com. It's the best way to get the cheapest hotels...by bidding. It takes some research if you want the lowest price.

Double check also with hotelpricefinder.com.
Not sure what to bid? Check for previous bids on betterbidding.com and biddingfortravel.com.

For those who have already flown LAN Airlines YYZ-JFK-YYZ, a couple questions for clarification:

1. For the YYZ-JFK leg, do we preclear US CBP in Toronto?
2. What time do you recommend getting to the airport? I imagine this flight continues on to Santiago and, thus, most people will be at YYZ 3 hours+ in advance.

best time to be at YYZ is About 2 PM

If you're just flying to NYC, you get the Greyhound back

That's a pretty bad thing to happen. I don't want to risk losing my head, catching a disease or getting stabbed. :twisted:

Seriously, how reputable is this airline?

Pretty reputable. They have seatback TVs...c'mon dude. I'm not basing it just on that, but it's a good indicator things are 'ok' with them.

The best: UNITED. Its' an AC code share (book on aircanada.com and not united.com) and its about 49.00 each way. A colleague booked this fare last night for next weekend. They are have similar fares to Newark and Chicago.
