This list intentionally excludes fares on LCC Breeze/Allegiant/Frontier/Spirit.
There are other destinations available that are priced higher than this range and those may be worthwhile for some of the small remote airports that have stops and don’t usually go on sale. They aren’t part of this list since we’re focusing on the cheapest routes.

Some small OTAs on Skyscanner and Google have this for about -$20-$30 cheaper than the airline when booked as two separate one-ways on two different airlines. Beware that the reason that it is cheaper doing it that way avoids several airport and customs taxes that you will likely have to pay at the airport.
We were able to consistently find these for about $330 or less on Priceline. Use our updated link list.
