Cheap Flights to Miami
Why Go: Miami is often called the “Gateway of the Americas” due to its cultural and linguistic ties to North, South, Central America, and the Caribbean. It lies between the Miami River, Biscayne Bay, the Everglades and the Atlantic Ocean. But forget gateways and get to the beach.
South Beach is great for people-watching. Its ten miles of beach plays host to the beautiful (and sometimes eccentric) people. Don’t forget the backdrop. The Art Deco district within South Beach has the largest concentration of Art Deco arcitecture in the world. In contrast, North Beach boasts examples of Miami Modernism architecture and uncrowded beaches.
Don’t forget to take a trip to Little Havana. Close your eyes and you might even believe you are in Cuba. The sounds of salsa and merengue call out from stores while old men in guayaberas enjoy a cigar with their game of dominoes.
While sauntering about, grab a strong and sweet Cuban coffee. Pick one up on most street corners for around $1. It’ll keep your feet tapping as you make your way around this exciting city.
Cheap Flights to Ft. Myers, Florida
Glorious sun, beautiful beaches, golf courses galore, and manatees—just a starter list for enjoying yourself in Fort Myers, the City of Palms.
Sanibel and Captiva are two islands off the coast of Fort Myers, connected to the mainland by a three-mile toll road (you’ll need a car). Sanibel has smooth beaches on its Gulf side and shallow bays, creeks, and the J. N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge on the east side. The refuge covers 6,000 acres and is home to many animal species. It is famous for its spectacular migratory bird populations. Sanibel also has fine fishing.
The Captiva Island beaches at Fort Myers have been called the most romantic in the country. Captiva Island has only the sandy beaches, shells, calm waters, and warm air. It’s the perfect place to do nothing, although sunning, walking, and fishing are also possibilities.
For something more laid back and with more moderate prices, try Fort Myers Beach. A seven-mile, white, sandy beach, it is considered one of the best family-friendly beaches in the southeast United States. Most of the action is at “Times Square,” but the rest of the island is more sedate and relaxed.
Cheap Flights to Florida
Who go: Florida is the country’s most popular winter vacation spot, well-known for its most famous host, Mickey Mouse, spring-break parties, and great beaches. But if you’re looking for more than a party and a tan, Florida is trendy and culturally diverse with attractions for every passion.
You can spend an entire vacation in Florida golfing, bird-watching, snorkeling, diving, sailing, fresh or saltwater fishing, kayaking, napping on the beach, or catching spring training. For nature lovers, Florida’s estuaries have an abundance of water fowl; some of Florida’s “every day” birds are threatened species. The state is a wildlife haven and has several nature parks and refuges, the most famous of which is the Florida Everglades, the only subtropical wilderness in North America.
For your vacation setting, there are picturesque small towns steeped in history, the glitz and glamour of large cities, family vacations, or romantic getaways. The first decision you need to make is which part of Florida you’re going to visit on this trip.
