If traveling more is on your 2026 wish list, good news: a new airfare forecast has identified the cheapest places to fly next year—and some fares are shockingly low. If $95 flights to Florida, sub-$200 fares to Central America and multiple chances to hop to Europe for under $450 sound good, this list is for you.
Using tens of thousands of data points from historical fares, live pricing and deal-frequency patterns, Dollar Flight Club’s 2026 Cheap Flight Forecast surfaced destinations that consistently offer low airfare—not one-off unicorn deals. The result: 15 domestic and 15 international spots where airfare reliably dips, plus the best times to go.
The result is a list of 15 international and 15 domestic destinations where travelers can stretch their budgets without sacrificing the experience. Some top performers include San Salvador, where fares hover around $198; Lisbon, where Dollar Flight Club is seeing repeat deals under $500; and Medellín, which comes up often in the drier winter months. Domestically, cities like Fort Lauderdale, Chicago, Orlando, Charlotte and Denver deliver consistently low fares, especially if you’re flexible with dates.
Seasonality plays a major role, too. Europe and U.S. national parks are favored in spring, fall produces some of the softest airfare across the board and winter rewards sunny budget breaks—if you can time your trip just right. Flying on holidays—the actual day—can also bring deep savings.
Below, you’ll find the full list:
