Crystal-clear water and white sand beaches — without the premium price tag
The Caribbean islands offer some of the most accessible tropical getaways from the US East Coast, with flight times as short as 2-3 hours from Miami and 4-5 from New York. Competition between airlines keeps fares low, especially during the off-season. From all-inclusive resorts in the Dominican Republic to boutique hotels in St. Lucia, there's a Caribbean deal for every budget.
Late April through November is off-peak season with the cheapest flights. August and September offer the deepest discounts but carry some hurricane risk.
