Deal alert: Fly nonstop to the Bahamas for as little as $258
With beautiful beaches, a delightful culinary scene and vibrant nightlife, the Bahamas is always a hot ticket item for travelers.
Now, there’s a new fare sale offering great prices on flights from Baltimore and Washington, D.C., to Nassau, Bahamas, that’ll get you to paradise on the cheap — some itineraries are even available for half of their usual cost. Even better, the window for this sale encompasses travel from now through February, which means you can book an escape from the chilly Northeast winter weather at a steep discount.
The fares in this sale are for basic economy tickets. You will get a free carry-on bag on American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and JetBlue (provided that you travel after Sept. 6; prior to that date, a gate-checked carry-on will cost $65), but not on United Airlines. You can only bring a personal item if you purchase a basic economy ticket with United Airlines, and checked bags start at $40 each way (there’s an extra $25 fee if you gate-check).
Some of the lowest fares spotlighted in this deal come from booking through an online travel agency.

Sample flights
Let’s start with the nonstop options in this deal. We saw the best prices for flights out of Dulles International Airport (IAD) near Washington, D.C. This nonstop itinerary from Dulles to Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) in August is just $258 round-trip.
We found flights from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) near Washington, D.C., to Nassau in November priced at $268 round-trip.
If it’s more convenient for you to travel in the spring, you can snag the same itinerary for the same price in April.
During the Christmas travel season, you can fly United out of Dulles to the Bahamas for $263 round-trip. This itinerary has a layover in Newark on the departure flight, but the return is nonstop.
United has flights from Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) to Nassau in December for $273. This route involves a layover each way.
The same itinerary is available in April at the same knockout price.
