TACA, part of the Avianca group of airlines is putting a limited number of dates on sale from Miami to Rio. If you are flexible and can work with the available dates, this is very good fare.

This fare does not meet our 6 cents per mile criterion because it will only earn 50% mileage with United, however, it’s still a very good fare.
