Accepted Answer

Landing cheap flights to Cuenca is as simple as booking your ticket with Orbitz. But if you want to make sure you're getting the best flight deals around, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

Taking off from or arriving at nearby airports can sometimes be more cost-effective. Type in your preferred departure and arrival airports. Next, click on the 'Nearby airports' function below to see your options.
If your travel plans aren't carved in stone, click on the 'Show flexible dates' link to scan the flight deals for alternative departure dates. You may find an amazing fare.

The early bird catches the most rewarding savings, so book as soon as you've worked out your travel dates. The most affordable fares sell out quickly and prices normally increase as the departure date nears.
Bundle your hotels, flights and car rentals into a value-for-money package deal. Save your cash for things you're really excited about, like exploring Cuenca.
