Getting to East Asia is getting cheaper and cheaper. Right now, you can book a flight from Honolulu to Osaka for $200 each way with AirAsia. That’s great if you’re already in Hawai’i. If you’re not, flights to Hawai’i have never been cheaper with budget carriers like Southwest expanding service to the Pacific islands.
$200 ROUNDTRIP TO SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO FROM NEW YORK FOR SPRING BREAK
It’s time to check out Puerto Rico. For one, it’s an idyllic island paradise that you only need a driver’s license to get to. Moreover, it’s still recovering from one of the most devastating natural disasters in U.S. history and your tourist dollars can help speed recovery.

Frontier is the cheapest way to fly around America. Currently, they’re offering $24 flights to a long list of destinations around the country, covering dates throughout March and April (Spring Break).
