Winter Break in Barbados
This fare is perfect for a winter vacation!
Via The Flight Deal, JetBlue has non-stop round-trip tickets to Barbados for ~$192 from New York.
I found flights later this month for ~$192!
Under $200 to the Caribbean Is a Fantastic Price for a Winter Break!
These fares are valid for travel through February. Keep in mind availability is limited. And be sure to purchase your tickets 7 days in advance.
If you don’t fly JetBlue often, you can credit your flights to Singapore Airlines to earn Singapore Airlines miles! Or, if you do fly JetBlue often, be sure to register to earn double points before you purchase your tickets!
Summer in Iceland
The Flight Deal also reports cheap non-stop flights to Reykjavik, Iceland, from Los Angeles and San Francisco on WOW Air. These are new routes, so they’re kicking it off with fares under $500.
I found flights in June from Los Angeles to Reykjavik just in time for the midnight sun for ~$478 round-trip!
Fly Non-Stop to Europe for Under $500 This Summer When Flights Are Usually Very Expensive
This is an excellent price to fly all the way from the West Coast to Europe! Especially for non-stop flights!
You’ll get the best deal if you can pack light (because WOW Air charges substantial baggage fees). I experienced WOW Air on my trip to Iceland and enjoyed the flights very much!

Here are my posts on all the ways to earn Hilton and Hyatt points!
Note: If you prefer to book paid stays, check out discount sites like Orbitz, Expedia, or TravelPony for deals. But remember you won’t get stay credits or points (and might not have your elite status recognized!).
Airbnb is another terrific way to save money on accommodations, especially for longer stays (or where they’re aren’t many chain hotels, like Iceland). Here are some tips on how to negotiate a better Airbnb price, and how to find a safe and comfortable Airbnb.
