Flights £879 + hotel £1,686 + resort fee £266, taxes in · a checked bag each adds about £121
United · with a stop · 12h 44m
The catch: Every fare we found has one stop and takes 12h 44m, and a checked bag is about $160 for two on top of the total.
Worth it if you want nine warm nights of beaches and island drives; skip it if a 12h 44m one-stop flight is a dealbreaker.
