I am looking for a destination for a group of teen girls and moms. We want warm weather and a direct flight from DCA. Any suggestions? |
Budget?
What do you consider tropical? Florida? Caribbean? Costa Rica? Hawaii? Honestly, for spring break this year, unless you have a huge budget, it's gonna be tough. |
Most are insanely expensive for spring break! Check out Belize. That was significantly less than the others and looked really cool. |
Direct flight from DCA is going to be challenging. I'd look at countries in Central America - Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras, etc. Not as touristy as the Caribbean (or Costa Rica), but warm, has good food, nice beaches, etc. Panama has direct flights out of IAD. |
None of these have nonstops from DCA. |
DCA direct flights limit you to - Key West, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, San Juan
There are a few other Florida cities, but I picked the warmer ones. |
Yes, look at google flights for your direct flight options, but the farthest you can go on a direct flight is Puerto Rico or Nassau. |
West palm beach Orlando Fort meyers |
DCA is really limiting. Metro goes to IAD and MARC to BWI. Are either or both of those a possibility? |
If your set on DCA I would say Miami. If you can add a stop or do BWI/IAD you have many more options. We've done a direct from BWI to Cancun then stayed at a resort in Tulum. We also have done direct out of BWI to San Juan. Both were great trips. |
Who said money was a factor? |
Op, you know that you can't go international from DCA, right? Bahamas and Puerto Rico are your options. |
And Bermuda (BDA) but that's not that warm for Spring Break - low 70s. |
Bermuda is international. But they have pre-clearance so its OK, similar to Canada flights. |
then go to baha mar. would be a great place for that group |
