Hello, I am thinking of traveling to South America for a few months from the UK and was wondering if anyone can suggest any agents they used to get there ie. quantas or anything as i'm not sure if I should just get a flight to Brazil and see how it goes or get one of these global deals? and advice please :)

Just wanted to know what flight tickets people used to travel around SA, if it was a round the world trip, like the quantas ticket or if they just bought a ticket to say Brazil and went from there??? Don't want to get ripped of and not sure where to go 😊 cheers. Reply to this

I bought a return ticket from Europe and that was it. Everything else I booked as I went along, it made my itinerary more flexible and also I probably saved money this way as prices are fairly good in SA. Flights are relatively expensive there but buses are excellent value. Reply to this

Plus carriers such as one world (BA) don't operate a lot of routes through SA, especially smaller internal routes so you don't gain anything from having sector flights, as we've found out!! Reply to this

I flew to South America last year via the US with American Airlines then took a LanPass, as LAN are members of OneWorld Alliance. This worked out well for me - I had flights Lima - Santiago - Easter Island - Santiago-Buenos Aires for just over GBP £200. Great value for me, I thought. I didn't book hotels in advance, just looked up the ones that seemed to suit and went with the flow.

Hope this helps! Reply to this
