When to fly
November provides better fares for this connection with consistently lower prices across multiple airlines. Travelers who prefer to avoid peak holiday demand should note that December through January brings higher costs around Christmas and New Year celebrations. Spring and early autumn months provide moderate pricing between these extremes, while mid-winter periods outside of holidays can show sudden drops in airfare when business travel slows.
Airlines and what to expect
Delta Air Lines and United Airlines offer full-service fares with checked baggage included on most ticket types. American Airlines operates similarly with connections through their hub networks across the Americas. Low-cost carriers like GOL Linhas Aereas S.A., Azul Conecta, and Azul keep base prices lower while charging separately for seat selection and extra luggage allowances. Connecting flights often route through Copa Airlines hubs or LATAM Airlines stations in South America before reaching American destinations.
