I’ve uncovered a few outstanding airfare deals which will take you to warm and sunny destinations on travel through spring and on one deal through mid-December.

One of the best offers is an exclusive from American Airlines. The carrier offers a one-way rate of $169 to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. This super sale is valid seven days a week, based on sale seat availability. Trips must be booked 21 or more days in advance. Travel is permitted through December 14.

This is a today-only offer, so make haste with your ticket purchase!

American serves St. Thomas with one flight connection in Miami.

Through Jan. 31, both AirTran and Delta Air Lines offer discounts to Caribbean and Mexican destinations on trips finished on or before May 15.

One-way rates are:

  • $109 Nassau, Bahamas
  • $154 San Juan, Puerto Rico
  • $155 Cancun, Mexico
  • $169 Aruba, Netherlands Antilles
  • $197 Montego Bay, Jamaica
  • $222 Freeport, Bahamas (Saturday only service on Delta)

To qualify, give at least a 10-day advance purchase notice. Travel is permitted seven days a week, based on sale seat availability.

To land deep hotel and resort discounts of up to 50% off in the Caribbean and Mexico, start your search at Bookit.com, http://bookit.com.

Sale airfares are always subject to change. Every seat on every flight is not offered at the lowest rate.

I recommend starting the search for available seats at Kayak.com vs. calling an airline directly. You can also search for the sale at travel websites such as Expedia, Orbitz or Travelocity, etc.
