The smell of sunscreen in the air can only mean one thing – spring break is almost here. After the freezing winter weather a lot of Americans have been dealing with this year, many are ready to relax with a warm, sunny getaway and AAA tells us where everyone is going.
- According to the American Automobile Association, flights to domestic hot spots for spring break are 2% more expensive than last year, averaging about $815 for roundtrip tickets.
