Sample flights
The majority of the flights in this deal have a layover. The flight from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Grand Cayman’s Owen Roberts International Airport (GCM) was the only nonstop round-trip flight.
Flights from airports like Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and San Diego International Airport (SAN) include layovers in cities like Newark and Washington.
However, with fares hovering in the $300s, this deal is relatively rare. These are the flights that stand out:
JetBlue: Departing from JFK, starting at $295.
Delta: Departing from Nashville International Airport (BNA), starting at $297 (includes a layover).

To book a flight to Grand Cayman, we recommend determining your availability through Google Flights, then purchasing tickets directly from the airline of your choice.
Buying tickets directly from the airline is a more convenient option than a third-party site in case of a delay, cancellation or booking change. Prices on Google Flights may differ from those offered on the airlines’ sites due to third-party booking options. However, Google Flights advertises prices for a United flight from Newark to Grand Cayman as approximately the same as United’s website.

These deals only extend to basic economy fares. So if you book a July 2023 flight with United from Newark, you won’t be able to select a seat or bring a full-size carry-on without paying a $25 fee. United also charges $35 for the first checked bag and $30 for the second checked bag.

United gives you the option to upgrade from basic economy to economy for $80. You can also select a seat for anywhere from an additional $11 to $46 for preferred seating, which is closer to the front of the aircraft.

Note that for this particular flight, there is a layover at Dulles International Airport (IAD) on the return flight from Grand Cayman, so there is also an option to select a seat for a third additional flight departing from Washington to Newark.
Additionally, United offers bundles, which allow you to save on a combination of upgrades. For example, with a trip to Grand Cayman, there are three bundles you can choose from — all include the ability to select your seat and some also let you bring a standard checked bag.

One bundle for the flight from Grand Cayman to Newark lets you pick a seat and gives you United Club access. The additional cost for these bundles can range from $37 to $87.
