Sample flights
The following deals are for basic economy seats on American Airlines which includes a standard seat and free carry-on. A checked bag, seat selection and priority boarding are available for additional fees.
One of the cheapest deals we found was from Washington D.C. (DCA) to Port of Spain (POS) with a stop in Miami (MIA) at $210 round-trip. There were many options at this price throughout the end of January and February.
We found a steal in mid-March from San Francisco (SFO) to Port of Spain (POS). The options are long trips with two stops, but at $211 round-trip it might be worth the long journey.
There were many affordable nonstop options throughout January, February and March from Miami (MIA) to Port of Spain (POS) at $235 round-trip.
There were also many options throughout February for round-trip flights from Houston (IAH) to Port of Spain (POS) ranging from $211-213.
