Spring Break - Travel Deals

Spring Break is more than just a week-long hiatus from classes – for many young people, it’s a rite of passage. Even if you took Spring Break trips during high school, there’s nothing quite like Spring Break travel when you’re in college – already away from your parents, and making travel plans independently.

There are positives and negatives to this freedom, of course. On the down side, you’re not necessarily as travel savvy as your elders might be, and therefore not as good at searching out the best possible Spring Break travel deals. On the plus side, however, there are lots of great discounts available for students and young people in general. It’s a travel perk with an expiration date, so take advantage of it while you can!

In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the ways to find cheap airfare when you’re planning your Spring Break trips as a student. Because even though you’re entitled to some discounts as a student, it still pays to look for ways to save even more.

>> When is Spring Break? Depends what school you go to – but for most people, it’ll be the first or second week of March.

When you’re a student, it just so happens that it’s an excellent time to travel. It might seem like you’d have too much else going on – all that school and whatnot – and wouldn’t have the budget required to get out and see the world.

But unless you’re doing summer school or you don’t believe in Spring Break, you’ll have periods built into your year that are tailor-made for taking trips. And thankfully there are travel discounts that only students can take advantage of that make traveling when you’re still in school a more feasible option.

Here are some articles that will help you find great deals on travel when you’re a student.

Back when I was in college the first thing I did each year was finalize my Spring Break plans. Forget figuring out my class schedule, never mind paying for textbooks, it was that delightful time off in the spring that was always my top priority. You would have no trouble seeing that if you took a look at my transcript. Fortunately I burned all records of my scholastic achievement so you’ll never know how awful I did on the Astronomy 101 final.

Realizing that my Spring Break planning was the exception to the usual slacker rule, it is worth pointing out that even if you haven’t made Spring Break plans – hell, even if you just want to get away from some sun and relaxation – it is still possible to purchase airplane tickets to Cancun that will cost less than the Economics textbooks you are never going to read anyway.

If you are past the age where kegstands seem like a fun way to spend an afternoon, Cancun is still large enough and interesting enough to make for a pleasant vacation destination. If you are at the age where kegstands are part of your daily ritual then get going with your airline reservations right now. Just make sure to save some matches so that you can burn your transcripts later on.

Now that the winter holiday season has passed us by and the Christmas tree has been put out for recycling, it is time to turn our attention to the next major holiday: the toga party. It is only a matter of weeks before those hard working students put down their pens and papers and pick up their beer funnels and bikinis. We’re talking about Spring Break, of course. The time to find a warm location, a warm body and to power slam warm beer until you wake up buried in the sand on some undetermined beach in some undetermined country.

Ok, perhaps you are a bit too old for a jaunt to Cancun or Daytona Beach, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t have fun in the sun. American Airlines has a pretty nifty airfare sale going on that will help you reach your Spring Break destination and still leave you a bit of money to upgrade from Pabst to Miller Lite. They have great prices on flights to warm weather fun spots like Orlando, Tampa and Arizona that you know are only going to become more expensive as the last minute planners start doing their planning.
