Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you’re using The Platinum Card® from American Express, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through the Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to get the time away from work or family.

If you don't have American miles to use on the airline's award sales but still want a cheap getaway from the cold weather, you can book discounted flights to multiple Caribbean destinations like San Juan (SJU), Aruba (AUA), Fort-de-France (FDF), Point-à-Pitre (PTP), Nassau (NAS), Grand Cayman (GCM) and St. Thomas (STT) for as little as $169 round-trip.

Deals appear to be had from airports up and down the East Coast and Midwest, so plug in your departure city even if it's not listed below. You may have to do some mixing and matching with the destinations to get the cheapest price. But hey, any warm beach beats snowy winter weather.

To search, head to Google Flights and enter your origin and destination cities. Scroll through the calendar function to find dates and prices that work for you. Finally, click through to book directly with the airline or through an OTA like Priceline or Expedia.

Airlines: American, JetBlue, Delta, Norwegian
Routes: JFK/MIA/BOS/ATL/MCO/IAD/DCA/BNA/PHL/FLL/ORD/CLT/DFW/IAH and likely more to SJU/AUA/STT/PTP/NAS/GCM
