Meh. I wouldn't let that stop you from visiting. I'd let it stop you from moving there, yeah. But visiting at spring break? It'll be fine.

Florida isn’t a terrible drive and at that price, driving sounds pretty good.

I hate roadtripping, but I agree with you. I'd be driving.

I'm thinking about what we want to do, but definitely not ready to buy anything, lol.

I'm trying to decide between Puerto Rico, Utah or a cruise

I think, as for hotels you can book now but make sure you can cancel. Just periodically check the rates. As for airfare, check to see what the price is and if it’s a great price, book, if not, keep checking. I normally book refundable tickets just in case. Hate booking so far out.

I'd rather not go.

Too early for flights - schedules aren’t available and will shift anyways. But fares are much more likely to rise than fall.

We are doing Universal and will book as soon as the packages open, probably next month. But flights are more like 3-6 months in advance to book.

Ticket prices aren't even available on google flights for spring break next year.

Was just looking at the APS calendar. They have 1/2 days for Elem. school Wed, Thurs, and Fri before spring break.

Where are you going? I'm already thinking about SB 2027.

Impossible to predict given the war’s impact on jet fuel.

Way too far out to book flights unless you find a terrific deal on a major (read: reliable domestic) airline.

Anyone starting plan for Spring break 2027? If so, do you expect airline tickets and hotels costs to go up or down booking this far out?
