Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines Updated on September 22, 2023 A luxurious escape to paradise just got easier thanks to a new flight and a discount at the Ritz-Carlton on Grand Cayman. The deal, which offers travelers a 25 percent discount and a $100 resort credit per stay, comes as Cayman Airways plans to launch a second weekly nonstop flight from Los Angeles to Grand Cayman starting on Nov. 8. The sale is available for stays of four nights or longer through Dec. 15, the hotel shared with Travel + Leisure. To book, travelers must use the promo code “YX1.” “This midweek flight option empowers our guests with the freedom to indulge in shorter stays, making the Cayman Islands an ideal destination for a swift escape,” Marc Langevin, the general manager at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, told T+L. “In just 5.5 hours, passengers can fully immerse themselves in the unparalleled beauty of The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, ensuring an unforgettable tropical haven.
