Sample flights

Though this deal only advertises availability from LA, similarly priced flights from New York City were also available when we conducted a test search for this story. We cannot guarantee the below round-trip flights will be available when you book:

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (STX), starting at $342
John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to STX, starting at $368

Both of these flights are for American’s basic economy class, which includes one full-size carry-on item, but it will be $30 each way to check a bag. Note each route will include one layover in Charlotte both ways.
