New York – Paris $294 Roundtrip on Air France

Fly to Paris’s “other” airport with this sub-300 dollar fare from Air France. Nonstop flights from New York-JFK to Paris-Orly are pricing out at $294 roundtrip for fall and winter departures. In my opinion, Orly is a more convenient and less crowded option than flying into Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and the top choice for those visiting the southern arrondissements of Paris. But if you want to fly to CDG, you’re in luck as tickets are available at a similar price on itineraries arriving there too. Daily availability opens up in late October with departures valid through mid-December, then again in February and March of next year. This a rare airfare where even Fridays and Sundays are in play and not subjected to weekend surcharges. As an example, I found seats at this price departing JFK on Friday, November 8, with a return flight from ORY available on Sunday, November 17, 2019.

Don’t be Goofy and drive down to Disney, take to the skies like Dumbo. If you can’t use your ears, American is here to help with flights to Orlando for only $97 roundtrip. Nonstop flights from DC to Orlando at this price can be found on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in late August and September. Searching AA.com, I was able to come up with an itinerary departing DCA on Wednesday, September 4, with a return flight from MCO on Tuesday, September 10, 2019.

TAP Air Portugal is back again with some fantastic fares to destinations all across Europe and flights to Switzerland seem to be some of the best bargains. Have you experienced Art Basel in Miami Beach? Head to the city where it all started, fly from MIA to Basel for $352 roundtrip for fall, winter, and spring travel. (Art Basel is in June, and currently, the booking calendar doesn't stretch that far.) Departures are available daily starting in mid-October through May 2020, with peak holiday dates blacked out. TAP Air Portugal allows for free stopovers along the way so you can really make out with this deal if you turn your trip into a 2-for-1 and explore lively Lisbon along the way. As an example, I found seats departing MIA on Thursday, November 7, and returning from BSL on Saturday, November 16, 2019.

Need an escape from the windy weather whipping off Lake Michigan come November? How about heading to South America for a sunny getaway. Fly from Chicago-ORD to Cartagena, Colombia for $282 roundtrip on Copa Airlines this fall. Daily departures are available starting in late August through early December. As an example, I found tickets at this price, departing ORD on Friday, November 15, and returning from CTG on Sunday, November 24, 2019. One free checked bag included. Book using a third-party site like Priceline, but do take note that an overnight layover will be required on most itineraries.

Go from Golden Gates to golden sand with this deal to the 50th state on either Hawaiian or Alaska Airlines. Fly nonstop from San Francisco to Kahului, Maui for $358 roundtrip in late summer and fall. Departures are valid on Monday and Thursdays starting on August 14 through November 6. Searching on Alaska, I saw tickets departing SFO on Monday, September 16 and returning from OGG on Monday, September 23, 2019. Other dates during this travel window are widely available. United is price matching but will only allow for a small carry-on bag that will fit under the seat in front of you.
