American – Under $380: San Francisco / Los Angeles / Chicago / Washington D.C. / Newark / Houston – Central America. Roundtrip, including all Taxes

Posted on May 19, 2014

American has just put the entirety of Central America on attack against United. Here’s what we found from San Francisco (prices should be similar from all United hubs listed above)

  • Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR) – $351
  • San Jose, Costa Rica (SJO) – $354
  • Roatan Island, Honduras (RTB)  – $328
  • Panama City, Panama (PTY) – $370
  • Belize (BZE) – $367
  • San Salvador, El Salvador (SAL) – $365
  • Guatemala City, Guatemala (GUA) – $361
  • Managua, Nicaragua (MGA) – $378
  • Tegucigalpa, Honduras (TGU) – $346
  • San Pedro Sula, Honduras (SAP) – $332

We believe these city pairs are available from every United hub listed above. It is possible certain city pairs might not exist for a particular hub!

The only city in Central America with American service that we didn’t see a deal was San Pedro Sula. If we missed any cities, please correct us. Thanks.

(For those who are not in an United hub, but American hub, we reported over the weekend that Delta was attacking American fares to San Jose, Costa Rica from Phoenix, Dallas, Miami, Charlotte and Philadelphia for $379)

Update 5/19/2014 @ 7:55PM Eastern – fare gone
