Los Angeles – Copenhagen $348 Roundtrip on SAS Scandinavian
SAS Scandinavian is having an end of the year sale by slashing prices on all of its US destinations to its hubs in Copenhagen (CPH), Oslo (OSL), and Stockholm (ARN) to finish the year off with a bang. Here’s one of the best offers from that sale, fly from Los Angeles to Copenhagen for $348 roundtrip. Tickets at this price are available for daily departures starting in early February through the end of May. If you can't have snow on Christmas in LA, then you make up for it later with this discount deal. Depart LAX on Sunday, February 3 and return from CPH on Sunday, February 10, 2019, maybe you'll get lucky with snowflakes then!

Ft. Lauderdale – Turks & Caicos $224 Roundtrip on Southwest
Fly nonstop from Ft. Lauderdale to Providenciales, Turks & Caicos for $224 roundtrip on Southwest this winter.

Daily flights are available so you can turn this deal into an impromptu getaway, by leaving FLL on Friday, January 25 and returning from PLS on Monday, January 28, 2019.
