How to book the cheapest flight to Machu Picchu?

Accepted Answer

Picking up cheap flights to Machu Picchu is as easy as booking with Orbitz. But if you want to make sure you're grabbing the best flight deals around, here are some suggestions worth following:

Depending on where you're departing from, select the 'Nearby airports' function (located under the departure and arrival form fields). Oftentimes, alternative departure points will have cheaper fares.
If you're flexible with your travel schedule, click on the 'Show flexible dates' option. It'll bring up flight deals for the days before and after your chosen departure. Fares often vary depending on what day of the week it is.
To fine tune your results, click on 'Show options.' You can search based on seating class, airlines, and nonstop and refundable flights. You can also select your preferred flight times under 'Sort & Filter' to the left.
The early bird gets the most rewarding savings, so book as soon as you've worked out your travel dates. The cheapest fares sell like hotcakes and prices increase as the departure date gets closer.
Combine your flights, hotels and car rental into a value-for-money package deal. Save your dollars for things you're really excited about, like discovering every corner of Machu Picchu.
Flying during peak season can mean expensive airfares. If possible, plan your trip outside of popular dates, such as Christmas, New Year's Eve and Easter.
