What’s better than escaping to the sun in the middle of a miserable winter?
Escape to the sun and get a great prize!
The major US airlines have finalized their winter sun flight destinations for 2024/2025, meaning now is the right time to book your winter sun flights.
Unless you have nerves of steel and can wait until the last minute to get cheap flights, flights are usually cheapest when they are released.
But where should you go?
Try one of these 7 new non-stop flights to winter sun destinations:
Sint Maarten, Caribbean
Delta Airlines launches a brand new flight between Minneapolis-St Paul and Sint Maarten.
This route launches on December 19th, so it’s perfect if you want to enjoy some Christmas fun in the sun (apologies for mentioning the C-word so early!)
These Delta flights to Sint Maarten operate on Thursdays and Saturdays throughout the winter season, so you can even stay for a long weekend.
Aruba, Caribbean
Another Delta Airlines flight for our list is from Minneapolis-St Paul, but this time to Aruba.
This flight route operates on Fridays and Sundays, so just like the Sint Maartens flight, you can use it for a short weekend away in the sun.
This route starts on December 20.
Aruba is a great place for beach lovers and nature lovers alike. It is known for its perfect pink flamingos.
La Romana, Dominican Republic
American Airlines will fly to more destinations in the Dominican Republic than any other airline this winter, thanks to the addition of a new flight to La Romana.
This new flight departs from Miami and will be a daily service, giving travelers the freedom to travel on the days that suit them best.
This new flight route will start on December 5.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Caribbean
This is another offering from American Airlines, and this flight route is important because American Airlines is the only major U.S. airline flying to St. Vincent and the Grenadines this summer.
So if you dream of volcanic hikes, unique black sand beaches and beautiful small islands, then this is great news for you.
This is a service that only takes place on Saturdays, so if you want to visit these islands you will need to stay at least a week (why not two?).
This route starts on December 7.
Grenada, Caribbean
JetBlue is also in the mix with new flights that are completely unique, giving travelers brand new destination options!
This new route departs from Boston and will only run once a week on Saturdays. But once it launches, it will be a year-round flight option.
Grenada is a dreamlike island with typical Caribbean white sand beaches, spectacular waterfalls and incredible rainforests.
It is also home to three award-winning rum distilleries, where you can enjoy fun tastings.
Santiago, Chile
Another offering from JetBlue and another new, completely unique flight route.
The airline is also introducing a daily year-round flight from Orlando (MCO) to Santiago as part of its winter schedule.
JetBlue is currently the only airline offering a direct flight on this route.
Santiago has a lively atmosphere and is packed with museums and art galleries for culture vultures.
There is always something to see and do here and the city also has a renowned gastronomic scene.
Tenerife, Canary Islands
I couldn’t resist taking an extended route to one of my favorite destinations.
If you want some European winter sun, there’s no better place than the Canary Islands.
United Airlines has announced that it will extend its winter schedule to Tenerife from Newark Airport until at least the end of March 2025.
The flight will operate three times a week in both directions.
Average temperatures on Tenerife remain warm all year round and the island’s skyline is dominated by Mount Teide.
This is the highest mountain in Spain and attracts hikers from all over the world, especially during the winter months.
