Good - I'm doing the same exercise departing from Mexico and the major
US airports I know of (JFK, Los Angeles, Miami). Also quoted from
Expedia (.com, not .co.uk), same dates (I guess you meant 2007). I'm
just reporting the two cheapest options of each category with
different airlines (I mean, not optimizing by time). And I know there
_are_ cheaper lines (i.e. the budget Mexico-Argentina route is using
LAB, via Bolivia, but it's not a surprise LAB is not listed in Expedia
:) )

MEX-BOG-CCS (Avianca): US$624, 7hr 10min
MEX-CCS (Mexicana): US$657, 4hr 40min
