If you're dreaming of swapping the cold for Caribbean sunshine, this one is worth a look: Los Angeles → San Juan, Puerto Rico, from €273 return, flying with Frontier Airlines with one stop along the way.
The dates we found are 7 to 11 December 2026, making it a short getaway that suits anyone with only a few days off. Keep in mind that flight prices change often and may differ depending on when you check, so it's best to confirm the current fare before you book.
Our advice: if the trip appeals to you, don't leave it for later. Deals like this tend to disappear quickly, and once they're gone, prices usually climb. Look over the offer at your own pace, then book as soon as you can to lock in the fare.
Once you're there, we recommend wandering through Old San Juan, with its brightly coloured streets and the imposing El Morro fortress. If you want a beach, Condado offers sand and city buzz in equal measure. And if you have time, a trip to El Yunque, the only tropical rainforest in the US National Forest System, is well worth the journey.
