Whether you've been pining for palm trees, fresh seafood or city strolls through new neighbourhoods, we've found a cheap flight out of Montreal that'll make your vision come true, and it won't cost you more than $400 to get there (barring the possibility of additional fees and taxes).
Bon voyage, and may your budget-friendly adventure be so much fun that you forget February even happened.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
From its 37 kilometres of golden beaches to the palm tree lined Las Olas Boulevard — packed with boutiques, art galleries and outdoor restaurants — Fort Lauderdale screams ideal vacation destination. And we haven't even discussed the canal gondola rides, top-notch nightlife or myriad of museums yet.
And the best part? It's just a 3 hour and 50 minute flight away, and for $178 round-trip you really can't go wrong (all the more money for fishbowl-sized margaritas at Lulu's Bait Shack, amirite?).
If you're interested in going to Florida, but don't think Fort Lauderdale is your vibe right now, Flair Airlines, Air Transat and Air Canada all have upcoming flights to Miami and Orlando for under $400. Air Canada and American Airlines also currently have round-trip flights to Tampa available for under $400.

Cancun, Mexico
Nestled along the Caribbean Sea, Cancun is a picture-perfect place to take a holiday.
It's even better if you're into snorkeling and scuba diving thanks to the crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs and wide array of tropical fish, turtles and rays. Cancun is also known as Mexico's premier party destination so get ready to dance the night away at clubs featuring acrobats, confetti, conga lines and world-famous DJs.
With ancient Mayan ruins, beautiful swimming pools, bustling markets and endless tacos, Cancun is the ideal place to shake off all your winter blues.

Vancouver, BC
Despite being a domestic trip, flights to Vancouver can often be super pricey — much like the cost of the city's accommodations and tourist attractions. That's why it's well worth it to take advantage of good deals when you find them.
For under $400, you'll get a direct round-trip flight straight to the West Coast where you can bike along Stanley Park, explore trendy neighbourhoods like Gastown and Yaletown, shop at the artsy Granville Island Public Market, swim in the ocean, hike breathtaking mountain trails and eat what is arguably the best sushi in the country.

Aruba
Visit this tropical paradise if you want warm weather and little rain. Located in the heart of the Southern Caribbean, Aruba's constant trade winds make it a windsurfer's dream. But beyond the gorgeous beaches and natural wonders, like the Spanish Lagoon and Arikok National Park, you'll also find Dutch colonial architecture, colourful streets and inviting island hospitality.
Aruba is a small island — just 32 kilometres by 6 kilometres — so you can totally see it all in one trip, which means you'll REALLY get your money's worth with this affordable flight. That said, you should try to move quickly because the price of flights on this route can increase very quickly.

San Juan, Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico's lively capital — the oldest European-founded city in the Americas — is a Caribbean gem filled with history, art, culture, tradition and a delicious food scene.
Meander through the cobblestone streets, explore the stunning beaches (Flamenco Beach has been ranked among the nicest in the world), go salsa dancing, strike a pose in front of the colorful Spanish colonial buildings or abundant street art and try your hardest not to fall in love with San Juan. Spoiler: it's not possible.

Dates: April 8 to April 12, 2024
New Orleans, Louisiana
Known as the birthplace of jazz, New Orleans is a kaleidoscope of Creole townhouses, wrought-iron balconies and talented street performers.
Whether you're there to party on the iconic Bourbon Street or eat as many po'boys and beignets as you possibly can (not to mention the crawfish, gumbo and jambalaya), NOLA has something for everyone — which may be why it was voted among the World's Best Cities by the readers of Travel + Leisure.
Even though Mardi Gras will be over by May, the city's unique spirit is unwavering no matter the time of year, and you'll likely benefit from lighter crowds and off-season prices.

Dates: May 6 to May 13, 2024
Nashville, Tennessee
Nashville is so much more than the bachelorette party town. Located along the banks of the Cumberland River, it is the perfect blend of Southern charm and country music culture.
Nicknamed "Music City," visitors can hear amazing live tunes spilling out from Broadway Street's row of honky-tonks. You can also catch some of the world's best country music artists at the Grand Ole Opry, which has seen the likes of everyone from Dolly Parton to Johnny Cash. Beyond the musical attractions, wander through historic neighborhoods like Germantown — a mix of Victorian architecture and trendy boutiques — and grab a bite at a hot chicken or barbecue restaurant or get your nature fix at the lush Centennial Park.
Whatever you choose to do, polish your cowboy boots and buckle up for a good time!
