Spring Break On a Budget
Unfortunately, Spring is a great time to travel, because the weather is warm, but not too warm and most kids are still in school, so the crowds are small if you avoid typical Spring Break destinations like Miami and Cancun. So, let’s take a look at how to be a grown up and take a vacay that doesn’t look like those old MTV shows full of sloppy-drunk, loud-partying, half-naked 20-somethings.
Choosing a destination
- Scour deals on Groupon, Living Social and other daily sites for affordable vacations that might work for your time off.
- Use Kayak’s Explore feature to find destinations that fit within your budget for the month/season of your choice.
- Look at BookIt‘s promos for vacation packages that are awesome and budget-friendly.
- Washington, DC
- Phoenix/Tempe
- Palm Springs
- Austin, Texas
- Los Angeles
- New York City
- Quebec, Montreal (has a great European feel, with a much lower price tag)
- Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
- Daytona, Florida (the small size makes it perfect for those looking for a bit of quiet)
- Puerto Rico (cheap accommodations and dining)
- Myrtle Beach (rent a condo for as little as $50)
- Costa Rica (stay way from the touristy spots)
- St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands (no passport required!)
- Willemstad Curacao (stick to the all-inclusives here)
When to buy airfare
- Book airfare on Tuesdays, and Sundays for lower fares.
- Fly on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturdays for the best rates. These are the least busy days to fly.
- Fly early in the day. The earliest flights out are generally a bit cheaper and have less of a chance of getting delayed.
- Travel light and skip baggage fees.
How to choose a hotel
- Sometimes paying up-front can score you an awesome deal on a room.
- If you haven’t pre-paid, keep checking prices up to the day you leave, in case the price drops and you can rebook.
- Skip online booking and call the hotel to see if they can give you a better rate than what you see online.
