Thanks to a post on The Flight Deal, we've found some good economy airfare deals on US Airways and American from a few US cities to several Caribbean destinations with prices hovering around the $300 mark - some of the lowest fares we've ever seen lately!

These screenshots show DFW-AUA (Antigua) from April 30-May 7 for $298 on US Airways with stops each way in CLT:

Remember, you can't actually buy airfare on ITA, so here's same itinerary, DFW-CLT-AUA-CLT-DFW on April 30-May 7, 2014, found on American's site:

On ITA Matrix, we also found EWR-UVF (St. Lucia) - with stops each way in MIA - on American for $296 from September 3-11, 2014:

And here that same itinerary - EWR-MIA-UVF from September 3-11, 2014 on American's site for $296.90:

We also found EWR-MBJ (Montego Bay), again with a stop each way in CLT, from May 7-14, 2014 for about $335 on US Airways. Here is that itinerary as found on ITA Matrix:

And here is that same EWR-MBJ itinerary, bookable on US Airways' site for $334:

On ITA Matrix, we found an August 11-17, 2014 itinerary from IAH-ANU (Antigua) - with stops each way in MIA - on American for $336:

And here is that same IAH-MIA-ANU-MIA-IAH itinerary on American's site for the same $336:

Found on ITA Matrix, a May 14-21, 2014 itinerary from IAH-NAS (Nassau) - with stops each way in CLT - on US Airways costs $321:

And here is that same IAH-CLT-NAS-CLT-IAH itinerary on US Airways' site for the same dates and the same $321:

We had a lot of luck pricing out the airfares we found on the ITA Matrix on both AA.com and USAirways.com, so ITA's searches seem pretty accurate on this one. If you're interested, I would book immediately while these last.
Have you found any other great deals to the Caribbean on these carriers? We'd love to hear more from our readers so that everyone can share in this beach-and-palm-tree windfall!
