For this story, we checked prices for flights nonstop from JFK to KIN, taking approximately three hours and 50 minutes.
To make sure you can book this deal, check the Google Flights calendar to confirm the blackout dates.
The price advertised on Google Flights is often a little lower because it offers third-party booking sites as an option.
We recommend booking directly through the airline for a better guarantee you will get help if something goes wrong. So, we recommend spending a little more to get the $777 ticket direct from Caribbean Airlines.
For example, you could book this round-trip flight departing on January 14, 2023, and returning on January 21, 2023, for $777.
As mentioned above, all the flights in this deal should include two free checked bags, a personal item and a carry-on.
The final price as reflected on the Caribbean Airlines website is $777.42, with the fare itself being $568 but taxes, fees and other charges amounting to an additional $209.42.
The Caribbean Airlines website is not the most user-friendly, which is why having an idea of what you want to book helps. You'll likely have to input all the details yourself once you're redirected, so keep the Google Flights tab open to refer back to.
