Affordable Getaways

1/16
Much like safety, airfare costs will be top of mind for travelers in 2022. Finding cheap flights can be easy though if you know where to look. Here are some of the most affordable travel destinations for the year ahead based on the latest intel from the experts at Scott's Cheap Flights-an email subscription service that monitors airfares and sends the best flight deals straight to its members' inboxes-as well as using the "explore" option on the Google Flights search tool.

Las Vegas, Nevada

2/16
Accessing the Entertainment Capital of the World will continue to be relatively affordable in 2022 as low-cost carriers such as Allegiant Air, Southwest Airlines, Frontier Airlines and Spirit Airlines, among several others, make it a hub or focus city on their ever-growing networks.

South Florida

3/16
Traveling to South Florida can be expensive if you're circling busy holidays on the calendar but the presence of three different major airports gives budget-conscious passengers options. Miami International Airport is a hub for American Airlines, of course, while Allegiant, Southwest, Spirit and JetBlue offer plentiful service to nearby Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Travelers can also consider Palm Beach International Airport when comparing prices to South Florida.

Atlanta, Georgia

4/16
Home to one of the world's busiest airports in Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the ATL isn't short on departures or arrivals. Plus, it's not only the headquarters of Delta Air Lines but a focus city for more budget-friendly carriers such as Southwest and Frontier.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5/16
Puerto Rico has long offered Americans a Caribbean getaway without the passport requirement and that won't change in 2022. Low-cost airlines like Southwest and Spirit continue to serve the island, sure, but visitors departing from the East Coast will have no shortage of deals to choose from from a variety of carriers. After all, the average price of an economy deal found by SCF to San Juan is $240 roundtrip.

Venice, Italy

6/16
The average price of an economy deal found by SCF to Venice is a wallet-friendly $473 roundtrip. That's excellent news for travelers seeking to explore one of Europe's most iconic destinations in the new year as the city has become less friendly toward cruise ships of late.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

7/16
Oklahoma City may not be atop many travelers' bucket lists but the Cowboy Capital offers plenty in the form of art, history and culture. Affordable flights should give Americans added incentive to explore this part of flyover country as SCF reports that the average price of an economy deal to OKC it found is as low as $182 roundtrip.

The Pacific Northwest

8/16
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Portland International Airport are the two easiest options when it comes to accessing the Pacific Northwest. But as the experts at SCF point out, frequent deals can be found at smaller airports throughout the region, including places like Bend, Medford, Spokane, Bellingham and Eugene. The average price of an economy deal found by SCF to Sea-Tac is just $105 roundtrip.

Tahiti, French Polynesia

9/16
SCF has found numerous deals on travel from the U.S. to Tahiti in French Polynesia, including nonstop from San Francisco to Tahiti for $557; flights from Minneapolis for as low as $818 and nonstop from Los Angeles to Tahiti for just $1,582 in premium economy class.

London, UK

10/16
London remains arguably the most convenient European destination for Americans with both Heathrow and Gatwick offering Americans ideal access to the city. Just how good can the fares be, though? The average price of an economy deal found by SCF to Heathrow is $453 roundtrip.

Alberta, Canada

11/16
Another accessible international destination for U.S. travelers, Canada offers a brilliant blend of nature and culture and Alberta is an excellent example. With nonstop flight deals to cities such as Edmonton and Calgary from Phoenix and Las Vegas for under $270 roundtrip, travelers won't want to miss out on experiencing America's neighbor to the north in 2022.

Charleston, South Carolina

12/16
Charleston is a destination renowned for its unrivaled charm, Southern hospitality and history and travelers will be pleased to know that getting there won't break the bank in 2022. SCF has seen nonstop airfare deals from $80 and less from cities like New Orleans and Akron, Ohio.

Lisbon, Portugal

13/16
Portugal was one of the hottest overseas destinations prior to the pandemic. However, as the world reopens travelers will want to keep it atop their list as there's much to see and experience, from the otherworldly Algarve to the capital of Lisbon. The latter can also be accessed for cheap, with SCF finding flight deals from New York City and San Francisco from as low as $248 and $374, respectively.

Belize

14/16
For a budget-friendly tropical getaway in 2022, consider the magnificent beaches and UNESCO World Heritage Site-designated barrier reefs of Belize. The average price of an economy deal found by SCF to Belize is just $346 roundtrip.

Vietnam

15/16
A trip to the fascinating land of Vietnam can be easy on the wallet in 2022-the average price of an economy deal found by SCF to Ho Chi Minh City is $544 roundtrip-but it can also be comfortable, as SCF has recently found flight deals from major cities such as New York City and Houston in business class and premium economy for under $2,500.

Panama

16/16
Panama offers international travelers some of the best opportunities for adventure, relaxation and wellness at a discount in 2022 as flights from the southern portion of the U.S., including cities like Tampa and Los Angeles, can be booked for under $200, based on SCF's latest findings.

Scott's Cheap Flights and Google Flights data help reveal the places travelers can visit for less in the new year.
