Deal Alert: East Coast to Caribbean from $178 Round-Trip on Norwegian
Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available. View the current offers here.
Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend that you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. In this case, however, you'll need to search through Google and book on Norwegian's site. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz's courtesy cancellation if you're unable to travel.
Norwegian has been expanding rapidly in the US market recently, and somewhat curiously began flights from several cities on the East Coast to the Caribbean. Today, we're seeing great fares on several of these routes for travel in November and December of this year. The best deal we're seeing is a round-trip fare for $178 from Boston (BOS) to Guadeloupe (PTP). There are other great deals to be had on travel from New York (JFK) and Baltimore (BWI) to both Guadeloupe (PTP) and Martinique (FDF).
To find your flights, run a search on Google Flights, and then complete your booking on Norwegian's site. Since these flights don't go through Europe, you won't be able to take advantage of additional discounts by booking in the Norwegian language version of the site. We think that these deals will go quickly, so book now and plan later!
