Cheap flights in November start at $183 round trip from New York (JFK) to San Juan, and $249 from Los Angeles (LAX) to Honolulu, based on cached traveler fares checked on October 28, 2026. The same Los Angeles to Miami route cost $319 for one set of dates and $495 for dates that include Thanksgiving.

Every price on this page is a cached traveler fare, not a live quote. Fares are round trip, in US dollars, per person, for flying from the US. Each row shows the dates the trip flies. "Price last seen" is only the day that price was cached. The price at checkout is the one that counts, and bags and seats cost extra.

When does Thanksgiving week push fares up?

On Los Angeles to Miami, dates that touch Thanksgiving week cost more. Thanksgiving Day 2026 is Thursday, November 26. Frontier's Nov 19 to Nov 28 trip was $495, against $319 for Nov 13 to Nov 20, a difference of $176. An American trip for Nov 28 to Nov 29 was $653, the highest Miami fare we found.

The pattern is not the same everywhere. New York to Lisbon was cheapest in the Thanksgiving window: $568 on SWISS for Nov 25 to Nov 29, against $641 on Aer Lingus for Nov 9 to Nov 16 and $691 on TAP Air Portugal for Nov 9 to Nov 17. New York to Cancun on jetBlue, returning on Thanksgiving Day, was $432 for Nov 15 to Nov 26, close to the $416 American fare that returns on Nov 25.

Traveler discussions on Reddit say the first week of December is sometimes cheaper than late November. We did not check December fares, so treat that as a question to test, not a finding.

What do deal roundups miss that cached fares show?

KAYAK's monthly deals page, published October 26, 2026, highlights Atlanta to Jacksonville at $65 and Phoenix to Vancouver at $184. Those fares are for other cities and say nothing about New York or Los Angeles.

Cached fares show the spread inside one route. New York to San Juan on jetBlue ran from $183 (Nov 3 to Nov 11) to $244 (Nov 13 to Nov 18) to $263 (Nov 9 to Nov 14, nonstop both ways). That is $80 between the lowest and highest. The $263 fare is the only one with no stops, so a nonstop cost more here.

Los Angeles to San Juan was $413 for Nov 7 to Nov 12 and $452 for Nov 3 to Nov 7, both on jetBlue. Veterans Day is November 11, and Puerto Rico marks the Discovery of Puerto Rico on November 19.

For Cancun, the US State Department rates Mexico Level 2, Exercise Increased Caution, updated May 28, 2026, on its Mexico travel advisory page.
