Trends we noticed:
- Puerto Rico is back and open for business and it’s starting to show. This is great year to visit San Juan. Tourism will contribute to recovery and it’s a less crowded, less expensive destination.
- Australia for Spring Break? It’s possible. In January of this year, the average round trip flights price on StudentUniverse was as low as $817. Find them as low as $487 roundtrip from Los Angeles.
- While Miami remains the top Florida destination for spring break, Fort Lauderdale is climbing the ranks. With less crowds, and debatably better beaches, heading to this Florida destination instead of Miami can save you some serious cash.
- Skipping the beach this year? Flights to Europe & Denver are HOT!
- Texas. 3 Texas cities jumped up in rankings this year. Is Texas the new Florida?
