Victoria to Colombia, Peru, or Argentina - $264 to $464 CAD roundtrip including taxes
13
December
Aeromexico is showing what appears to be some mistake fares from Victoria to Colombia, Peru, and Argentina for between $264 and $464 CAD roundtrip including taxes.
Many of the flights have ridiculously long travel lengths, with 2 stops each way (Vancouver and Mexico City). But 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 (a 20 hour layover for example).
If you 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 or BudgetAir 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.
You can also try stretching out the layovers in Mexico City to 1 or 2 nights in both directions (see below for instructions).
Common question: "Hey, can I just get on and off the plane in Vancouver?"
Answer: Unfortunately all airlines automatically cancel the remainder of your ticket once you intentionally skip a leg. On the way home, if you're travelling with just carry-on, you could walk out of the airport in Vancouver, since you wouldn't care about the remaining leg being cancelled.
And yes, it can seem a little strange that these aren't available originating in Vancouver. There is also the possibility that these aren't a mistake, and Aeromexico is just offering insane prices from some select smaller markets. Across Canada these are only available from Victoria, Kelowna, Edmonton, and Winnipeg. Ok, Edmonton isn't technically a small market. It's just a theory.
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.

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 September 1 to September 18, try starting with...

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 $324 !
