Boston – Burbank $208 Roundtrip on JetBlue
Skip the LAX headache and touch down in top-rated Hollywood Burbank airport – the best in the U.S. according to Fodors. Coast-to-coast nonstops between Boston and Burbank are on sale from JetBlue for just $208 roundtrip. Tickets at this price are available most days between late October and early December and then again from January 8 through February 15, 2020. At the moment, January and February have the best availability, where I was able to find an itinerary shipping off from BOS on Friday, February 7, and returning from BUR on Saturday, February 15, 2020. A perfect time to fly away from frosty February winter weather. If you're willing to make a stop along the way, American Airlines is offering fares for about $20 cheaper at $185 roundtrip but will require connections.

New York – London $308 Roundtrip on British Airways
While London-Heathrow gets lots of attention for flight searches, you’re missing out if you’re not including London’s second-largest airport when looking for airfare deals. Take this fare on British Airways for example; fly nonstop from New York-JFK to London-Gatwick for $308 roundtrip through early June. Daily departures are available from early November through the end of booking calendar in June 2020. Searching, BA.com, I found seats departing JFK on Friday, November 8, and returning from LGW on Sunday, November 17, 2019. This fare books into the basic economy fare bucket, meaning only carry-on luggage is allowed at this price. Peak holiday dates in December and April are blacked out.
