'Unwind on Island Time' in the BahamasWhat's the deal? In less than two weeks, AirTran will begin offering nonstop flights from Baltimore to Nassau, Bahamas. Online specials have fares starting at about $119 each way beginning Dec. 17.

The Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort is offering a hotel package to coincide with the new service. The "Unwind on Island Time" package starts at $269 per night and includes a $100 dining credit per day, taxes and resort charges. The beachfront hotel is known for water amenities such as freshwater pools and waterfalls.

What's the savings? The $100 credit is applicable each day and the package requires at least a three-night stay, so savings add up. Without the credit you could book an overnight rate of $199, but it would not include taxes and fees.

Also, children under 12 accompanied by a paying adult stay and eat free when ordering from the kids menu and staying in the same room.

What's the catch? Book by Feb. 28 for stays through Dec. 23, 2010
