Traveling for the long weekend? Why not join your fellow Americans and take a trip away from wherever “here” is for you.

A few cheap last minute ideas:

1. Freeport, Bahamas-FPO
   Dates: July 4th to July 8.

4. Buenos Aires, Argentina-EZE
   Dates: July 4th to July 7th
   From Atlanta-ATL using 77.5k Delta SkyMiles/AMEX Membership Rewards Points per passenger. I wouldn’t normally recommend redeeming your Delta SkyMiles at anything other than the “low level” (60k SkyMiles in this case) but I consider it worth it to pay an extra 17.5k SkyMiles if the dates work well for you. You’d have 3 full days in Argentina with direct, overnight flights–so no daylight wasted on an airplane. Not the best return ever but decent:
   

BOTTOM LINE: This is just a sampling of some of the last minute flights out there. Report back if you’ve found others!
