    The next time you want to get out of town and treat yourself to a little tropical vacation – Cheapcaribbean.com has a refreshing and indulgent answer – just hop on a plane to one of our award-winning beach destinations in the Caribbean or Mexico! Just imagine, an amazing, white-sand beach is only a few hours away, plus, with the deals you can find on CheapCaribbean.com, they’re only a few dollars away too. Whether you want a quiet, secluded beach; an active, exciting beach; or a beach that’s a perfect blend of both, CheapCaribbean.com has something to suit your every whim.

    For those seeking a quiet escape, there’s an amazing one in Cancun that you can reach via a non-stop flight from Dallas that lasts only 2-½ hours. Once you’re ready to visit the beach for some quiet sun-bathing after your not-so-long flight, Playa Delfines Beach in Cancun is just the spot. Playa Delfines was recently awarded an international certification that recognized it, at a worldwide level, as an excellent beach. Additionally, this incredible, semi-secluded beach is close to the ultra-luxurious Iberostar Cancun Resort, so you can visit a world-class beach and stay at a luxury resort all in one visit. Once you arrive at Playa Delfines, you’ll be treated to stunning views of the surrounding city, so make sure to bring your camera along because you’ll have plenty of great photo ops. While you’re there, go swimming, walk along the beach, or just enjoy some quiet sunbathing. Playa Delfines was made for those seeking a secluded escape. Although it’s a quiet and secluded beach, you’ll still have all the creature comforts you need like clean restrooms and showers. It’s the perfect escape.

    If the Texas heat has you craving a refreshing splash of paradise and beach-side fun, a 3-½ hour non-stop flight to Negril from Dallas is a great way to start feelin ‘da good vibes in no time. Located on the shores of Negril, Seven Mile Beach is CheapCaribbean.com’s top pick for Jamaican beach-side fun and activities! Described as a natural oasis, the idyllic Seven Mile Beach is Jamaica’s longest stretch of powdery sand, so you’ll have plenty to see, do and eat. Seven Mile Beach is so popular that it even won a 2013 Traveler’s Choice Award. Looking to explore the deep? You’ll find a treasure trove of coral reefs and exotic fish as you dive and snorkel your way through Seven Mile’s clear, azure waters. Would you rather kick back and soak up some vitamin D? It’s easy to find your own patch of sand under a swaying palm tree. Seven Mile Beach is conveniently located in the heart of the Negril Beach Hotel Zone, so you can grab some grub from a number of beach-side restaurants, try your luck at a casino or even get your time on the greens at the Negril Hills Golf Club. When you need some lavish pampering, check out Couples Swept Away for swanky adult-only fun! The resort offers exquisite dining, luxurious amenities and tons of activities, so you’ll always have something to do with that special someone. With so many great activities, it’s no wonder Seven Mile Beach is one of the celebrated beaches in the Caribbean.

    Dreaming of a Caribbean vacation, but don’t have a passport? No worries! Just keep on packing that carry-on, because you’re catching a flight to no-passport-required Puerto Rico. Grab your ID and hop on a plane for the quick, 5 hour flight to San Juan - Puerto Rico’s capital. Here you’ll find the excellent Ocean Park Beach. The beach is large, with soft, golden sand and beautiful water, so there’s lots of room to find your beach spot. And travelers sure love it; Ocean Park Beach received a 2013 Traveler’s Choice Award! On windy days, windsurfers take to the waves of Ocean Park, but the favorite activities are simply hanging out and enjoying a local beer from one of the nearby restaurants on this popular and relaxed beach. And a fabulous resort near the beach won’t be hard to find. The Ritz-Carlton, San Juan is only 10 minutes from Ocean Park Beach and offers the luxurious rooms, amenities and services that make the Ritz undeniably ritzy. So if you find yourself with an unexpected four-day weekend - forget your passport worries and book a hassle-free getaway to Puerto Rico for a few beautiful days of fun and sun. You’ll be sipping cocktails on a gorgeous beach in no time!

    No matter where you go for a sumptuous time in paradise, CheapCaribbean.com has plenty of options to keep you in the lap of luxury. So what are you waiting for? Pack your bags and you could be in one of these picture-perfect beach destinations in just a few hours!

    Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is seeking new restaurants who want to open a location on the premises. According to a release, the airport has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP), inviting local brands and flavors to apply for 14 retail and dining locations across multiple terminals.

    “As we build new gates, reimagine existing spaces and construct a new Terminal F, DFW Airport is committed to showcasing our region through our shops and restaurants so that when people travel through our terminals, there’s no denying they have arrived in the heart of Dallas and Fort Worth,” says DFW Chief Revenue Officer Ken Buchanan in a statement. “DFW serves tens of millions of travelers each year, and this is a chance for local businesses to help create an incredible sense of place within our terminals.”

    The RFP is open for submissions now through February 2, 2026, and includes 11 food and beverage opportunities and three specialty retail locations across Terminals A, B, E, and F.

    Concepts range from fast-casual, fast-food, and grab-and-go concepts to frozen treats, popcorn, cosmetics, and specialty retail.

    All proposal submissions must be made through the Bonfire Procurement Platform.

    DFW welcomed approximately 87 million customers in 2024, with continued growth projected to surpass 100 million passengers per year before 2030.

    The latest RFP opportunity comes as DFW continues to make progress on its $12 billion capital improvement plan, DFW Forward, which is transforming terminals, expanding gate capacity and enhancing the customer experience across the entire airport. In addition to the new Terminal F, DFW is rebuilding Terminal C and expanding gate areas in Terminals A and C – projects that will introduce modern spaces, new amenities and a stronger platform for small and local businesses to grow inside one of the world’s busiest airports.
