Good Afternoon! As you know we have now entered the low season in the Virgin Islands. That means less people looking to travel down the islands and deals on flights and accommodations are easier to come by. However, with airfare prices maybe the highest we’ve ever seen them in recent months, we wanted to analyze the upcoming high season to gain an understanding of what to expect. The good news is, it looks like airfare prices have come down significantly, hopefully a trend we’ll continue to see!
There’s nothing like finding that travel deal that saves you a few bucks whether it is on the flights, hotels, or excursions. We have hopefully saved you some time today with this article, because we’ve identified the best flight prices from these cities (Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, Grand Rapids, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Memphis, Minneapolis, Nashville, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Tampa, Raleigh, and Richmond)
These prices are the cheapest flights, most are through Spirit Airlines. However, larger airlines are not far away in terms of pricing. These rates are for single passenger round trips.
All prices were gathered from google flights. (Google Flights)
Atlanta
Atlanta, November 1st there are flights for $244 round trip!! If you can make it on the first no worries as flights for the whole month of November are relatively cheap unless it is the weekend of the 17-20th.
Boston
If you are flying out of Boston the months of January and February have the best tickets prices on average staying between $460 – $530. The weekend of February 16-18 there is a price spike, avoid that weekend if possible.
Chicago
Flying out of Chicago this winter? The Prices for flights are steady around $500 for the month of January, and the first week of December. I would avoid traveling from Chicago between December 15-30.
Cincinnati
Cincinnati, I found had a high average price in flights, however there were a few days (highlighted in green) where flight prices drop, look to travel on those days for the best deals.
Cleveland
When flying from Cleveland flights stay at an average of $425 from January-February.
Dallas
Dallas are you ready to make the trip to St. John this year? With loads of flights for $301, take advantage of the price drop and plan your trip today.

Flights from Detroit take a dip at the end of January through the first week of February after that the price start to climb. If you are flying out of Detroit I would recommend dates January 18 – February 7th.
Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale, these prices are too good not to take advantage of! With prices in both January and February as low as $301, this makes St. John a must.
Grand Rapids
Midwesterners listen up, in January and February are your months to make it to St. John, with tickets at $301 for a bunch of days, it is definitely worth a look!
Houston
Houston, November first flights are only $208 dollars, but if you miss out on that deal no worries because at the end of November lights are back to as low as $305. Ideal travel dates from Houston are November 1-9 with lots of tickets under $300.

St. Louis
Flights from St. Louis are pretty steady from December – January. As long as you’re not traveling during Christmas or before New Years tickets are hovering around $450.

Raleigh
Raleigh has some of the cheapest flights that I saw while doing this research, with flights in the first week of December going for $357.
Richmond
If you are looking to fly out of Virginia, the cheapest flights I was able to find were in the middle of January. With prices increasing before and after the week of January 15-23.
News broke the other day that Delta will be adding 35,000 extra seats for flights that are headed to the Caribbean this winter! The increase in volume will inevitably decrease the price of flights across the country on Delta. This news is super exciting as it means more accessibly for people to reach the islands, it might also force other airlines to do the same in order to compete with Delta in this market.

Good Morning,
Saw your postings for flights from GRR, when I search google for Feb. 2024 finding nothing close to the price you are showing. Please send me the site you used.
thank you
Hoping they continue to go down some, we book our rental early enough to make sure we get it and then hope for decent airfare. I’d rather swim than take Spirit again… did that once, will definitely avoid them whenever possible.
Thank you so much for this very important information. I have been watching prices for flights out of Boston in February and have been so discouraged. You are the best!
I have been coming to St. John for 30+ years each spring for at least two week. The airfares are ridiculous now. I agree. From NYC and Dallas I am looking at $1400-$1500 r/t. Can share share with your readers the source you used to located fares in January and February?
