Discounted airfares and the low-cost carrier that launched promotional fares to Miami

With winter break over, it's time to start dreaming about off-season trips , spring getaways , or your next summer vacation .

Whether near or far, the possibility of planning a weekend away, a week-long vacation, or an itinerary through beautiful landscapes or vibrant cities is always appealing.

If all this is accompanied by a good price , a sale, or the possibility of getting a discount, even better.

Whether you're flying within Argentina or to destinations abroad, finding attractive fares requires research and attention . Factors such as seasonality, advance notice, and flexibility can help you find better prices or good financing options.

“Our recommendation is not to sleep on it. If you're looking to travel at a good price, or to a particular destination, you should keep an eye out for deals. Set your alarm, do your research , and once you find a good deal that fits what you're looking for, have your card in hand and issue the ticket, without speculating, ” says Matías Mute of Promociones Aéreas, a site specializing in finding and promoting good airfare prices that has developed a “well-oiled search system” over the years.

His catchphrase: “A sleeping crocodile is a wallet.”

A new route is a great opportunity to find a bargain . And so it is with the recent announcement by low-cost airline Sky Airlines that, starting September 1, it will connect Buenos Aires and Miami , with a two-hour stopover in Lima (with a change of plane).

To celebrate the new arrival, the airline is offering promotional fares starting at US$550 round-trip, with taxes and fees included, and a 23kg suitcase and/or carry-on baggage allowed in the cabin, until August 10.

An important detail depending on where you live: it will operate from Aeroparque.

Air Promotions also highlights that these days there are "interesting prices," such as tickets to Salvador (Bahia, Brazil) for US$359 with departures from Aeroparque during the summer; or flights to Madrid from US$819; or to San Andrés Island (Colombia) from US$609. And from Córdoba, flights to Rio de Janeiro start at US$294 round-trip with carry-on.

It's important to note that promotional rates often require flexibility and research, trying different dates and combinations to find the best prices.

Another low cost that has promotions for both international and domestic routes is JetSmart , a low cost that has just announced that it will begin operating direct flights to Natal, Brazil, starting December 30th, and tickets are now on sale from $370,115 each way, including taxes and fees.

For international travel, this week there are 30% discounts for flights to Santiago ( Chile ) from both Buenos Aires and Mendoza, for flights between August 19 and December 18.

In a flight search for mid-September, a ticket from Buenos Aires to Santiago appeared with a fare of $346,637, and applying the promotional code, it was reduced to $294,834.

On the other hand, with the slogan "The best price for confirmed travel," JetSmart also offers several domestic routes with good fares (the promo says up to 44% off), with flights starting at $21,000. The offer includes destinations such as Córdoba, Bariloche, Iguazú, Mendoza, El Calafate, and Ushuaia, among others.

Both trips to Chile and flights to destinations in Argentina are for purchases made by August 11 at 10:00 a.m.

It's also worth noting that this low-cost airline offers discounts for Clarín 365 members : 15% or 20% depending on whether you're in the Classic or Plus category.

At Aerolíneas Argentinas, the recent big promotion is focused on attracting foreign visitors, who will have attractive tickets available for purchase during August (for example, flights from Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires starting at US$200).

For the local market, Aerolíneas currently offers installment plans with various banks . For example, there are now six installments with Santander. You should go to their website and check if the bank you use offers this financing option.

"At Flybondi, we propose enjoying winter with short getaways within the country, offering promotional fares starting at $19,999 final price per leg ," says Federico Pastori, Chief Commercial Officer of the low-cost airline.

Among the offers are: Buenos Aires to Córdoba from $19,999; to Bariloche from $29,999; to Neuquén from $27,999; Mendoza from $32,999; and, to the north of the country, flights to Tucumán from $36,835 final per leg.

They also offer Ultra Passes —in different versions—which Pastori describes as an "innovative proposal" since they "allow access to multiple round-trip flights within the country. These passes are valid for one year and allow you to redeem available seats during that period, with the possibility of saving up to 60%."

Another thing to keep in mind if you're planning a trip is that Travel Sale 2025 will take place at the end of the month. This is an online sales campaign specifically focused on the travel industry and aimed at boosting sales during the off-season.

From August 25th to 31st , it is organized by the Argentine Federation of Travel Business Associations and will be an opportunity to find good prices and financing options for both airfare and other products such as packages, hotel stays, travel assistance, etc.
