Flights $1,124 + hotel $1,501 + resort fee $237, taxes in · a checked bag each adds about $160
American · with a stop · 13h 32m
The catch: The outbound connects once and takes 13h 32m, and checked bags run about $160 for two, which isn't in the total.
Worth it if you want nine nights of volcanoes, snorkeling and 80°F days; skip it if a 13h 32m connecting flight sounds rough.
