May is the month of pre-summer travel joy. The weather is lovely, the flowers are blooming and airfare hasn’t spiked to peak summer prices. Now is the time to book your trip. No excuses, you’ve got two months to prep at work and get your budget in line — plus, these seven deals get you out of the country for less than $400.

1. New York City to Bogota, Colombia: $368

Although you may catch some spring showers, Bogotà offers mountain views, charming traditional architecture and metropolitan flare all within the same Colombian city. P.S. The coffee is the caffeinated stuff of dreams.

2. Los Angeles to Reykjavik, Iceland: $380

Before the summer crowds fill the icy island, you can see waterfalls, glaciers and hot springs in peace and quiet. The weather won’t be warm, but the country is called Iceland, so what do you really expect?

3. Chicago to Havana, Cuba: $279

Yes, it is complex to get to Cuba. But if you can classify your travels as a religious, journalistic, educational or familial trip, you can get to the classic Caribbean country to see its amazing architecture, and maybe dance some salsa.

4. Atlanta to Quebec City, Canada: $366

The old city of Quebec stays true to the colonial days of French influence. Like its neighbor Montreal, you feel like you are beyond North America and rather in Europe when wandering through the charming Canadian streets.

5. Los Angeles to San Juan, Puerto Rico: $343

Puerto Rico is back on the tourist map! Now, you can’t expect the same infrastructure as before the hurricanes of 2017, but many hotels have reopened and are ready for visitors. Plus, your tourism dollars will help the island get back to its glory days.

6. San Francisco to Calgary, Canada: $281

Calgary may seem like the middle of Canadian wilderness, however, that’s the beauty of it. The city is the closest airport to Canada’s Banff National Park, with dreamy mountain views, extensive hikes and serene lakes.

7. New York City to London, U.K.: $360

Budget flights make it oh-so-easy to hop over to London. Whether you’re drawn to the history, art or food scenes, there’s something for everyone in London. But you’ll be there in May, you’ll probably want to bring an umbrella.

Flight prices and times were accurate at the time this story was published, but airfare may change quickly as travelers claim these deals.
