Looking for Lie Flat from JFK to somewhere warm
Looking to fly lie flat from JFK to somewhere warm in November-January time. Europe is too cold. Hawaii is too far. Thinking somewhere between 4-7 hour flight. From my research, all Caribbean destinations dont have any lie-flat options. Anyone have any suggestions?

Bogot from JFK on Avianca. The seat is slightly angled, though. If you don't mind extending your upper flight time limit to 7:40, Lima on UA.
There are surely other options as well.

And there's also JFK-LAX, but can't guarantee warmth in L.A. that time of year.

On a short daytime flight of five/six hours or less, I really don't see any advantage of lie-flat seats. A comfortable domestic first class seat is just fine. I certainly wouldn't let it dictate my holiday location.

You have just given us more information about your definition of "warm" than we had before. To me anyplace with an average daily high in the 60s (F) in November is warm. (I felt the same way when I lived in the NYC area.) Anything else we should know before we make more suggestions that will be rejected for reasons we can't know about?

I will try again: why is lie-flat so important for a four hour daytime flight from NYC to the Caribbean? I'd rather focus on the hotel I'm staying on than the short hop to get there.
