2-night escapes to Florida
Too often, beach lovers overlook Florida for their quick jaunts. But we'll never understand why — the Sunshine State is home to almost 1200 miles of coastline, with more charming beach towns and bustling cities than you can count on your fingers and toes.
Sarasota is one of our top choices for a quick U.S.-based trip spanning only three days. With an abundance of affordable hotels in town, packaging your flights with your stay makes it easy to find a vacation for 2 under $300 for weekend.
Short Myrtle Beach getaways
In the sweltering summer months, Myrtle Beach attracts hordes of American families looking to take advantage of the cool ocean waves, the endless list of activities and the relatively low price of accommodations. In fall, the crowds thin out a bit, but the weather stays warm, and hotel prices drop considerably.

Weekend getaway packages to San Diego
Almost 35 million people visited San Diego last year. Don't you want to be among the next crop of sand and surf seekers drawn to the area's sun-drenched shores? Besides spending afternoons at Mission Beach or Ocean Beach, you can head to the San Diego Zoo, the city's hopping Gaslamp Quarter, or even to Coronado, home to the Victorian-style Hotel del Coronado oceanfront resort.
Low-priced Caribbean/Mexico vacations
If you don't mind a slightly farther trek, there are many Caribbean and Mexican destinations ready to host you for a weekend escape. And in terms of drop-dead gorgeous beaches, it doesn't get much better than the palm-tree-dotted shorelines in San Juan, the Bahamas, Jamaica and the Riviera Maya.
