Flight examples 

This fall, you can fly for just $331 round-trip to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic as the weather in Boston begins to chill. Note that there is a layover on each route with this option. There are fewer options and higher prices if you desire a nonstop flight. 

Booking Delta's basic economy class will allow you to bring one carry-on bag, but you won't be able to choose your seat or make a free ticket change. Spend an additional $90 to upgrade to the Main Cabin. 

According to Google Flights, this rate is more than 50% less expensive than the going rate. 

Consider spending Thanksgiving on the white-sand beaches of Turks and Caicos if you'd rather avoid the Dominican Republic. According to Google Flights, nonstop flights are currently available from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) for over $200 less than customary. 

This price, nevertheless, is only valid for JetBlue's Blue Basic prices. To check a bag, you'll need an extra $60 ($30 each way) or to upgrade to the Blue fare, which includes a free carry-on bag, you'll need to spend $100. With this offer, you'll still be saving money despite the additional costs.
