Quick summary

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! Most itineraries include a stop each way, either at US Airways' hub in Charlotte (CLT) or American's hub in Miami (MIA).

These deals are pricing out on the ITA Matrix for itineraries of up to 7 days (with blackout dates varying by destination) and for the following dates departing and returning to the US:

  • Departures: Until June 12, or August 11-December 17, 2014, or January-March, 2015
  • Returns: Until June 29, or August 24-December 31, 2014, or January-March, 2015

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!
