Atlanta (ATL) to Montego Bay is just $340 nonstop on Delta for travel in February and March. That's an excellent price just in time for a spring trip.
I always enjoy spotlighting deals to tropical destinations from cities that go through some especially frigid winters, and Minneapolis (MSP) fits that description perfectly. Delta has nonstop basic economy fares to Jamaica marked down to $366 in February.
Philadelphia (PHL) is another cold-weather city with some killer prices available. American has basic economy fares in February and March marked down drastically. You can fly nonstop to Montego Bay in February for $304, a big discount from typical prices.
We also found fares under $300 for flights with a layover. So if you don't mind a slightly longer trip, that's another option.
New York City (JFK) to Jamaica nonstop on Delta is available for less than $300 in March. We also saw this price in February.
One of the best deals we found was Denver (DEN) to Jamaica in March for just $319. That's a huge savings from normal ticket prices. We found a lot of availability at this price in March, but don't wait too long. This is a great price for this route.
