What Makes This a Deal: The lowest round-trip fare we found between Bermuda and Boston in mid-February is $355, with one stop (American Airlines). In comparison, TNT covers the nonstop airfare as well as the three nights' accommodations and airport/hotel transfers--and will save you about $55 dollars.

Trip Details: Beginning on Feb. 19, TNT's 172-passenger charter flights will make the trip from Boston to Bermuda in less than two hours. Departures on Fridays and Mondays give travelers the option of a three-, four-, or seven-night getaway.

The folks at TNT Vacations have put together a promotion offering round-trip airfare and a three-night hotel stay from $299 per person. This starting rate is based on a stay outside of Hamilton (Bermuda's capital and a busy port full of shops and English-style pubs) at either the recently renovated Grape Bay Beach Hotel or the Surf Side Bermuda, a series of cliff-side cottages. The Grotto Bay Beach Resort, with tennis courts, a pool, and nearby golf courses, is also available at the $299 rate for departures on Feb. 19 only. Add a fourth night at any of these properties from $50 per person.

Bermuda is a semitropical island, and in winter and spring temperatures dip here more than on most Caribbean islands. Through March, temperatures tend to be in the 60s and 70s Fahrenheit, meaning that it may be too chilly to swim and you'll want to pack layers. Before you go, check the local forecast at BudgetTravelOnline.com. And for more information and tips on what to see and do, visit Bermuda's official tourism website.

Don't forget your passport! As of January 23, U.S. citizens traveling to Bermuda by air are required to show a passport.
