Cities in Florida, California, Nevada, and Mexico are at the top of the list for Americans seeking a break from winter\u2019s icy grip.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you have the flexibility, don\u2019t wait for spring break to take a trip to these warm weather destinations,\u201d said Jeanenne Tornatore, senior editor at Orbitz.com. \u201cFebruary offers better deals and fewer crowds than March and April.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Orbitz Insider Index: Where to Score the Best Warm Weather Deals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Orbitz.com, cities including Las Vegas, Orlando and San Diego reign supreme stateside for travelers looking to escape the cold at an affordable price. Internationally, Mexico leads the pack. Hotel costs are between 10\u00ad20 percent lower in Cancun and 20\u00ad25 percent lower in Riviera Maya if travelers opt to book a vacation in February instead of March.1<\/p>\n<p>Additional key insights include:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beat the Breakers:<\/strong>Destinations such as Cancun, Tulum, and Las Vegas are always among the most popular cities for spring breakers. Though, with higher demand comes higher costs. Travelers looking to visit these top cities without paying premium prices should consider a trip just one\u00admonth prior in February.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prime Time for Theme Parks:<\/strong> Both Orlando and Orange County made this year\u2019s top 10 list indicating it\u2019s an ideal time to pay less to stay near some of the most popular theme park attractions. Specifically, pushing that trip to Orange County until March, a hotel will cost 10\u00ad15 percent more than it would in February.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Florida in February:<\/strong> Southern Florida destinations including Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, and the Florida Keys are typically in high demand this time of year. However, deals can still be found by booking mid\u00adweek and looking for hotels that may be a block or two off the beach.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Destination<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Average Hotel Prices in Feb 2017<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Average Flight Prices in Feb 2017<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Las Vegas, Nev.<\/td>\n<td>$132<\/td>\n<td>$302<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Orlando, Fla.<\/td>\n<td>$159<\/td>\n<td>$289<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cancun &amp; Isla Mujeres, Mexico<\/td>\n<td>$328<\/td>\n<td>$483<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>San Diego, Calif.<\/td>\n<td>$148<\/td>\n<td>$383<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Orange County, Calif.<\/td>\n<td>$164<\/td>\n<td>$345<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen &amp; Tulum, Mexico<\/td>\n<td>$315<\/td>\n<td>$483<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Florida Keys, Fla.<\/td>\n<td>$356<\/td>\n<td>$269<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tampa, Fla.<\/td>\n<td>$169<\/td>\n<td>$296<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Austin, Texas<\/td>\n<td>$177<\/td>\n<td>$339<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Phoenix, Ariz.<\/td>\n<td>$189<\/td>\n<td>$325<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Terms and Conditions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1Based on average daily hotel rates from February 1 \u2013 28, 2017 and March 1\u00ad31 2017.<\/p>\n<p>2Based on average daily hotel rates from February 1 \u2013 28, 2017 and March 1\u00ad31 2017.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Orbitz.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Orbitz.com is a leading travel website where millions of consumers search for and book a broad range of hotels, flights, car rentals, cruises, vacation packages and destination activities.
