Top 10 Spring Break Destinations – According to Kayak

Top Spring Break Destinations According to Kayak

The Miles to Memories team received an interesting email from the gang at Kayak that had a list of the top 10 Spring Break destinations for 2017 and 2018.

2017’s numbers are based on bookings and 2018’s numbers are based on searches.  I thought it was something interesting that you guys might enjoy.

Top 10 Lists

Without further ado:

2017 Most Popular Spring Break Destinations 

1. Las Vegas
2. Orlando
3. Los Angeles
4. Miami
5. New York
6. London
7. Cancun
8. Phoenix
9. Fort Lauderdale
10. Denver

2018 Most Popular Spring Break Destinations 

1. Orlando
2. Las Vegas
3. Los Angeles
4. Miami
5. New York
6. Cancun
7. Phoenix
8. London
9. Fort Lauderdale

Not a ton of change between this year and last.  I do find Denver at number 10 last year to be interesting.  Outside of that nothing too surprising.

They also had a section for top destinations for under $500 Domestic and International.
