The Bahamas is a perennial tropical destination favorite — who doesn’t love white-sand beaches and crystal-blue ocean waters? Luckily, there’s a great fare sale right now on nonstop flights to Nassau, home to popular resorts such as the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar and Atlantis, from select U.S. cities.
Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, JetBlue and United Airlines are currently offering discounted, round-trip flights to the Bahamas from Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. However, keep in mind that the sale fares are for summer travel, which coincides with hurricane season. But we also found good prices on flights slated for the winter, which is the ideal time to visit the islands.
The discounted fares in this sale are for basic economy tickets. With Alaska and American, a carry-on is included, but not with JetBlue and United. A checked bag will cost around $35-$40 each way. In some cases with United, upgrading to an economy ticket may be more cost-effective than paying to check luggage. The upgrade will include a carry-on, seat selection and free schedule changes.
