NEW YORK, March 13 — Destinations like New Orleans, Nashville and Puerto Rico are among some of the top trending destinations for US spring breakers in search of sun, beach, and heat this year.
That’s according to Expedia, which looked at hotel and flight search data for travel between March 1 to April 30 to come up with the list.
For spring breakers whose budgets exclude sun-soaked getaways like Nassau or Hawaii, Expedia also rounded up a list of more affordable destinations — roundtrip airfares for US$500 (RM2,041) or less — that include cold-weather cities with their own charm, be it Toronto, Boston or Chicago.
Experts also advise booking flights 21-30 days in advance in order to score the best flight deals.
It’s a different story for hotel bookings. Experts advise that booking close to your arrival date — within six days of your arrival date — can save travellers 15 per cent off their room rates.
