Quick Thoughts

There are a lot of restrictions on these fares (as you’ll see in the terms and conditions below) but if you can make the dates work for you there are some very good deals here.

Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas from $69 looks good value, you’ll struggle to beat $134 for a one-way fare between Atlant and the Turks & Caicos (with checked bags included)and considering what he likes of American and Alaska are charging for flights to Hawaii, the $139 one-way fare from Oakland to Honolulu looks pretty good too.

Bottom Line

Don’t forget that you have until 11:59 pm in the respective time zone of the originating city to book these fares but as demand appears to be high I suggest booking as soon as you find a fare that works.
