Winter might be creeping in, but flight prices are melting. We pulled six trips that actually make sense — from tapas in Madrid to mountain air in Seattle. These are the kind of deals that make your out-of-office reply sound smug.
🥇 Madrid 🇪🇸 — from $348
Winter in Spain for less than a round-trip to Florida. TAP Portugal’s one-stop is the cheapest, or snag Iberia’s nonstop from Dulles for $423. Warm days, tapas, and zero tourists.
🥈 Paris 🇫🇷 — from $412
Low 400s to Paris in February? Oui, please. Icelandair’s 1-stop from BWI is the budget move, or United has a nonstop from IAD for $556. A perfect Valentine’s escape.
☀️ Guatemala City 🇬🇹 — from $218
Central America for the price of a weekend in Philly. Avianca has nonstops from Dulles, and American and United hover in the low 200s. Sun, volcano views, and coffee worth the flight.
🌆 Bogotá 🇨🇴 — from $321
A quick hop south to one of South America’s coolest capitals. Copa’s one-stop from BWI hits low 300s, or fly Avianca nonstop for just over $400.
🌉 San Francisco 🇺🇸 — from $237
Cross-country nonstop from DCA on Alaska. Great weather window, easy weekend trip, and a scenic antidote to DC winter.
🌲 Seattle 🇺🇸 — from $197
Rain, coffee, and mountain air. Delta’s one-stop is the cheapest at $197, but Alaska has nonstop from IAD in the low 300s — still strong value for April.
