Flights £844 + hotel £942, taxes in · a checked bag each adds about £121

United · with a stop · 14h 16m

The catch: The United flight has one stop and takes 14h 16m, the hotel has no free cancellation, and a checked bag is about $160 for two.

Worth it if you want volcanoes, snorkeling and a road-trip week; skip it if a 14h 16m one-stop flight would ruin day one.
