A couple of unicorn fares to Hawaii popped up (yes, plural), Miami is basically free in December, and Europe and South America both have honest-to-goodness value plays. If you’re looking for a warm getaway or a passport stamp early next year, these are the cleanest picks from everything I reviewed.
🌴 Maui — from $394–$405
January trips to OGG dropped into the high 300s, which almost never happens from DC. Travel times are long but the savings make it worth the hop.
🌺 Kauai — from $394–$405
Kauai is usually the most expensive island to reach, so anything near $400 is an instant green flag. Great weather, quieter beaches, and ideal for a first-time Hawaii trip.
😎 Miami — from $38–$48 (nonstop)
This is the only time Frontier earns a spot: cheap, 3-hour nonstop, and perfect for a quick December warm-up. If you want sun without PTO drama, this is it.
🇬🇧 London — from $462
Spring flights to London dropped across multiple dates. TAP has the lowest fares (1-stop, ~12–15 hr), but British Airways also has a nonstop in the low 600s for those who want convenience.
🇩🇰 Copenhagen — from $386
One of the cleanest Europe deals this week. April trips as low as $386, plus a solid SAS nonstop at $479 if you want a direct option.
🇦🇷 Buenos Aires — from $640–$644
Summer in Argentina. Prices are usually near $1,000+, so seeing them in the mid-600s is rare. Delta and American both have reasonable 1-stop options around 14 hours.
Heads up: flight prices move fast. Everything here was accurate when this email went out, but airlines can change fares at any moment. Make sure to double-check details on Google Flights or with the airline before you book.
