This may affect flights that have already been booked and therefore it is important to clarify this with your agent or airline customer service to get advice on when to travel to South America. A number of flights have been canceled due to this, and it is uncertain whether things will pick up as normal in the future.
This may impact on fare prices, but what is certain is the limited seating that will now be available due to a shortage of planes and the current high demand.

Going on a trip and taking your pet with you? Do not arrive at the airport with your pet in tow and expect everything to go smoothly. Air travel with pets is a complicated business. The first thing to know is that the US Department of Agriculture is responsible for regulations related to transporting live animals. That includes taking your dog with you when you fly off on vacation.
Naturally, your first stop for information should be the US Department of Agriculture.
The next thing you should do is contact your airline and find out what their regulations are for traveling with your pet. If you are changing airlines, make sure you understand the rules and regulations related to each airline as they will most likely differ.
Just as with humans, you need to make sure your pet is healthy enough to travel. An appointment at the vet before you travel should establish that requirement. Make sure you tell your vet how far you are traveling and be specific about mentioning yo will be going by air.
While you are there, ask your vet for advice about a pet carrier. You will need a carrier suitable for the size of your pet. Don't skimp on size, your pet will be very uncomfortable if it has to travel for a long period of time in a carrier that provides no room for movement.
You may also want to check with the American Society for the Protection of Animals. They also have guidelines and it will be better to make sure you conform to all of them, rather than get sent back from the airport because your pet is denied travel.

If you are traveling on a budget, staying in a hostel can be an alternative. You see, hostel travel is no longer looked at as something that only college students do, as all sorts of people from different ages and backgrounds do it as an adventure that can enhance their travel experience. Plus, it's always nice to be able to save some money while you're on the road.
Understandably, hostel travel is not for everyone. If you're a family with lots of kids, then staying in a hostel isn't recommendable. Hostel would suit those who are traveling alone or with just a small group.

Most hostels are set up like dorm rooms. There will be several bunk beds arranged in the room -- usually range from 4 to 10 beds. The more beds the room has, the cheaper the rate usually is.
In most places, the rooms will be divided according to gender. So if you are a female traveler, you can stay in female dorm rooms. However, it is not uncommon to have mixed gender dorm rooms.
One of the benefits on staying in a hostel is that you can get to know and meet more people -- usually from different countries of the world. After all, that is the goal of your travel, to go and and see the world.
