Northwest does, I believe, but I don't know if it goes to Guatemala.

However, I agree with DeeVee. The adoption fare is based on a percentage of the "regular" full fare, not the fare you see discounted on the Internet. So it is often higher than the fares you find on-line.

The one ADVANTAGE to the adoption fare is that it may be "unrestricted" or at least partially unrestricted. By this, I mean that, if you buy cheap tickets on the Internet, they often come with restrictions concerning cancellations or changes. You might have to pay a fairly hefty penalty, for example, if a glitch happens and you have to postpone your pickup trip for a couple of weeks because of a paperwork problem. SOME, though not all, adoption fares allow changes or cancellations with low or no penalties.
