Top 10 most popular Labor Day destinations 2015

Where’s everybody headed for Labor Day weekend? Many Americans will get stamps in their passports this holiday weekend with Cancun, Punta Cana and London being the most popular international destinations for the holiday. Most domestic travelers will be heading to either California or Florida, as both states have multiple cities on the top 10 list. Airfare is down or remains flat in nine of the 10 most popular destinations, with the exception of Punta Cana, where airfare is up 3%.

“Airfares are down almost across the board, giving consumers the potential to get away on the cheap this holiday weekend,” said Jeanenne Tornatore, senior editor for Orbitz.com. “The Orbitz mobile app has discounts of up to 50% off hotels and vacation packages in many of the top Labor Day destinations.
