Flights to island destinations such as Puerto Rico and Cuba are currently available from $125 round-trip.

One of the most shocking flight deals is the round-trip, nonstop fare from Newark (EWR) to San Juan (SJU) for just $125 round-trip.

Yes, it's in United's basic economy but all you need to pack is a suit and some flip flops, so who needs a carry-on anyway?

If you're interested in taking advantage of one of the low-cost Cuba fares, make sure you read this first as there's a bit of a caveat for American tourists.
