Friday, August 20, 2010


The distance may be much less, but flights within Central America cost much more than those from the region to the United States.

A return ticket to Guatemala City from New York, taxes included, costs $382. Meanwhile, a return flight to Managua costs $401.

Passengers are charged 8 US cents a mile to travel to New York, while the flight to Managua costs 60 cents a mile, almost eight times as much.
