❄ ♥ ☀ Holiday Trips

Trips that fit the calendar.

Most US travel happens around a handful of dates: long weekends, school breaks and the holidays. Each hub covers one of them: when it peaks, what it costs, when to book and where it's worth going.

Christmas & New Year

The second-biggest travel stretch of the US year. Fares and hotel rates climb for the same few dates, so decide early which kind of Christmas you want: snow and markets, big-city lights, or warm sand.

Thanksgiving

The busiest travel weekend in the US, and one of the hardest to improvise. Whether you're flying home or finally skipping the family table for a trip, the days you choose matter more than the airline.
