The only difficult part of finding a new ticket to the Caribbean is deciding which tropical paradise to visit. This deal includes flights to a slew of irresistible island destinations like Aruba, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and more.
There are also plenty of departure cities in the US to choose from, such as Austin, Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles, and New York City, among others. In fact, we found plenty of non-stop options.
The travel window for this deal runs from April 2024 through February 2025. Please check the entire time frame as availability varies by route.
As with many fare sales, these are basic economy tickets. Some airlines include free hand luggage. This is not the case with JetBlue and United Airlines. So expect an extra $35-$45 each way to check luggage on those airlines.

Let’s start in the Northeast with a fantastic deal to the Bahamas.
You can fly from Boston to Nassau in late April for just $253 roundtrip.
This is a split ticket rate. The outbound flight is with JetBlue, which means there is no free carry-on baggage. The return flight is on American, so you get your free carry-on bag. The caveat is that there is a stop on the way back home.
Still, that’s about a third of the usual price for this ticket.
Boston to Montego Bay in May is just $339 roundtrip on JetBlue – and it’s a direct flight.
Flights from Boston to the Cayman Islands are also available for purchase. We’ve found some great prices, like this itinerary to Grand Cayman in early June for just $357 roundtrip on Air Canada.
There is a layover in both directions, including a long stop in Toronto on the return flight. However, Air Canada’s economy tickets come with a free carry-on bag.
Routes from New York City to Nassau are available at a discount everywhere from May through December.
We found many direct flights on Delta from JFK to the Bahamas for as little as $226 round-trip. That’s a great price anytime, but especially around May or June when summer travel starts to heat up.
The Dominican Republic also comes into play. There are some excellent rates available from Newark for those who like to plan months in advance.
You can fly from Newark to Punta Cana in February for just $279 roundtrip on United. The outbound flight has a stopover, but your return flight is non-stop.
If you live in Texas, it might be time to plan a trip to Belize.
There are some nice discounts on flights to this country (which is part of the Caribbean collective, despite being on the east coast of Central America).
There are flights from Dallas to Belize City for as little as $336, which is about half the normal cost for that route.
The best deals we found for West Coast travelers were from LA to the Bahamas.
We found good availability for flights from LAX to Nassau in June for $404 on American. You have one stop each way, but you do get your free hand luggage.

In short
There are many airlines that offer discounted flights to destinations in the Caribbean. There’s availability from many US hubs, and with availability until 2025, you’re sure to find a flight that works for you.
Pro tip: If you visit Grand Cayman, make sure you plan a visit to Stingray City so you can swim with the rays. It’s even more fun than you think.
