Deal Alert: Fly Direct to the Bahamas for Just $258

With beautiful beaches, delicious cuisine and vibrant nightlife, the Bahamas is always an attractive destination for tourists.

Right now, there’s a new sale offering great prices on flights from Baltimore and Washington, DC to Nassau, Bahamas, that will get you to paradise for cheap—some itineraries are even half the usual price. Even better, the sale covers travel from now through the end of February, meaning you can book your escape from the Northeast’s cold winter weather for a big discount.

The fares in this sale are for basic economy fares. You’ll get one free carry-on bag on American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and JetBlue (as long as you’re traveling after September 6; before that, a carry-on bag checked at the gate costs $65), but not on United Airlines. You can only bring one personal item if you’re purchasing a basic economy ticket on United Airlines, and checked bags start at $40 each way (with an additional $25 fee if you check them at the gate).

Some of the lowest fares featured in this deal come from booking through online travel agency.
