✈️ This Week’s Best Picks
Flights are trending low again, and this round has some gems worth grabbing before they bounce back up. Quick getaways, long hauls, and even a Caribbean nonstop made the cut — all solid routes, no gimmicks.
🇫🇷 Paris — from $411 (Icelandair)
December is pure magic in Paris — Christmas markets, cafés, and lighter crowds. Icelandair’s $411 fare is nearly 50% off and includes a short, clean layover in Reykjavik. United has a nonstop at $557 if you want to skip the layover and still save big.
🇳🇱 Amsterdam — from $466 (Icelandair)
Another strong Icelandair deal, this one dropping fares to the canals just in time for holiday lights and stroopwafels. United’s nonstop is only $75 more, and worth it if you value your time (8 hours vs. 11).
🏝 Aruba — from $349 (United)
Skip Spirit’s “savings” and fly nonstop with United for $349 roundtrip — it’s just five hours to clear blue water and warm sand in December. This is one of the cleanest Caribbean deals we’ve seen in months.
🇳🇱 Madrid — from $349 (Tap Air Portugal)
A rare November drop that gets you to Spain for less than most domestic fares. TAP’s layover is painless, and Iberia’s nonstop is still a steal at $424 if you’d rather skip the stopover.
