Winter vacation guide: Where to find the best early bird savings

Beach chairs at sunset

We've said it before, and we'll say it again – the early bird gets the beach chair. September and October are often the best time to find the lowest fares on nonstop flights to our international destinations in Mexico, the Caribbean, or Central America. It's the best time to save on hotels, too, with a Sun Country air and hotel vacation package.

Plus, getting your trip on the books before the snow sets in gives you some sunshine to look forward to ahead of the inevitable winter season. The hardest part is deciding where to go, so we’ve put together a quick list of the best destinations to find great deals on winter vacations.


  • Cancun: This destination has been a family-favorite for almost as long as we’ve been flying, and for good reason. With six distinct resort areas, plenty of hotel styles to choose from, and tons of flight options to choose from, you’re sure to find your ideal vacation mode no matter if you’re going solo, with your sweetheart, or taking the whole family.


  • San Juan: Truly a unique destination, San Juan mixes the charm and culture of Europe, the exciting energy of Latin America, and the familiarity of the U.S. along with beautiful beaches, lush rainforests, and an amazing history. If you’re looking for a Caribbean vacation without needing a passport, this is the spot!


  • Turks and Caicos: Despite their status as a popular vacation spot, you won’t have to fight the crowds on Turks and Caicos Islands. This is the perfect spots to get away and relax, and the short flight from the U.S. mainland means you’ll be able to get from bag claim to beach chair in no time.


  • Puerto Vallarta: If you’re the type of traveler that can never decide between a beach vacation or a city escape, Puerto Vallarta & Riviera Nayarit are the best of both worlds. You can catch a breathtaking Pacific sunset from the sand and enjoy the nightlife of the Malecon all within walkable proximity. If all-encompassing all-inclusives are more your style, Puerto Vallarta’s got those in abundance, too.


  • Belize: Natural beauty, cultural heritage, and biodiversity come in abundance in Belize, making it an ideal candidate for a memorable vacation. Between beautiful beaches, jungle landscapes, and the second largest barrier reef in the world, there’s plenty to explore.


While these five destinations are solid bets for finding great vacation deals this winter, they’re not the only ones. We’ve got affordable nonstop flights and air and hotel vacation packages to seventeen different dreamy spots in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America.


Don’t miss these early bird savings. Get To Going.
