Why it's a deal: In a recent Kayak search, we found a $159 round-trip flight between New York City and Boston for travel in mid-August (JetBlue). A four-night stay at the hotel would cost about $580 per person including tax. So, if you booked independently, you could expect to pay about $739 per person. This package, all taxes included, costs $572 per person — a savings of $167.

More: Add nights from about $160 per room per night. Upgrade to a deluxe room, with city views and more space, for $170 more per person. Before you go, check out our recent story on things to do in Boston.
