Looking for a cheap flight to a resort destination? The answer might be a charter flight. A charter (as opposed to scheduled air) is a flight which offers point to point service (no plane changes or connections) from a departure point to a resort destination.

A charter usually has fewer frills: no frequent flyer program, no first or business class, no in-flight movie, little leg room, etc. Sometimes you won't be able to pre-book your seats, only assigned them at the airport.

Your payback? The flights (often sold with a hotel stay in one package price) are inexpensive.
