Typical return fare from $685

Every fare site starts with the dates and hunts for a price. That is how you end up in the wet season, in a queue, with a dollar that buys nothing. Start with the destination instead and let the month move. The best months tend to be the quiet ones, and the quiet ones tend to be the cheapest.
