These Are The 3 Most Popular Destinations This Spring According To United Airlines
Last Updated
United Airlines just released its newest seasonal report, pointing to what’s shaping up to be one of the busiest springs in travel history.
Over 20 million people are expected to fly on this airline alone in less than a month.
While a major player in the industry, it is just part of the unbelievably large carrier network helping travelers finalize their plans this season.
Still, that’s more than enough data to shed some light on some truly fascinating trends, the most important of which is figuring out where people are heading off to these upcoming months, and according to United’s booking numbers, the verdict is in!
So, strap in, and let’s explore the 3 most popular destinations of the season.
Ultimate Beach Escape: Cancun Tops the Spring Break List
Considering just how much Cancun has been on the news lately for its record-breaking tourism achievements, this list couldn’t start any other way.
Between all the gorgeous resorts, paradisic beaches, and most importantly, the fact that it’s someplace that feels tropical and remote even though it’s just a couple-of-hours flight away from most U.S. destinations, Cancun has (rightfully) become the ultimate beachy escape.
The weather right now is also what I’d consider perfect, with temperatures ranging between 75°F and 85°F (24°C and 29°C) – my fellow avid beachgoers know that it really can’t get any better than this!
Spring breakers will also be happy to hear that Mandala Beach Club, The City, Coco Bongo, Palazzo, and Daddy’O will be throwing some of the most unforgettable parties in Cancun this season, so make sure to check out their events schedule.
There is one thing I do want to warn you about, though.
United’s report revealed that the busiest day of the season will be March 25th, and since there’ll be so many people heading off to Cancun specifically, it’d be best to skip traveling on (or too close to) that date if possible.
The airline also suggests scheduling your flight on a Tuesday or Wednesday, which, while still relatively busy, are still the slowest days of the week.

Beyond Disney: Why Orlando Is A Spring Break Must
Travelers seeking a more laid-back but still fun experience this spring are flocking to Orlando, which you all know by now as the “Theme Park Capital of the World.”
There’s no need for me to explain what makes Disney World and Universal Orlando so great – if you’re already thinking about going to the sunny Floridian hub this spring, chances are these parks are what’s drawing you in in the first place.
However, there’s a lot to love about Orlando beyond the thrilling rides.
Between all the Broadway-style shows, live performances, and entire shopping districts that are nothing short of a shopaholic’s dream, it’s safe to say that your time will be well spent even outside of theme parks.
Right now, there are even some great deals running for those who want to book their hotel and Universal Resort Orlando tickets in one go – you can save up to 25% and even get early park admission if you go for the first package on this list.
Escape the Ordinary: Vegas Thrills You Can’t Find Anywhere Else
If some good ol’ family-friendly fun isn’t enough to get you out of your mid-season rut, you can always opt for Vegas, a city that’s famous for being anything but boring.
However, gambling and clubbing are far from the only ways to pass your time in Sin City, though, let’s face it, if you’re coming here, it would be a faux pas not to indulge, at least a little bit.
Temperatures in Vegas right now are ranging between 60°F and 80°F (15°C and 27°C) – they’ll cool you down after a long night of dancing and they’ll keep you nice and warm during those long sightseeing strolls throughout the day.
Here, you’ll also get a chance to see some of your all-time favorite artists perform live, and currently, the line-up of musicians holding shows in Vegas is pretty impressive.
Carrie Underwood, Kylie Minogue, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Garth Brooks, Tony Braxton, Shania Twain, and Kelly Clarkson are just a few of the names performing in Vegas during the spring months – you can get more info on the actual dates here.
