Spring break, where are you headed? Here are this year’s 10 trending spots
In the words of all the college kids: “Spring break, WOOOO!” But woooo—uhm, wheeeere will they be taking it this year?
Someplace warm, suggests a new report from Google. The search giant crunched the numbers on the top 10 trending U.S. destinations for spring break in 2026. Hawaii, Florida and California come out looking popular – with only the ski slopes of Colorado requiring a decent jacket.
“To create this list, we looked at destinations seeing the largest percentage increase in Google Flights searches for domestic trips in March and April 2026, compared to the same period in 2025,” write Google’s reseachers.
Spring break for students usually takes place between mid-March and mid-April, though of course anyone, adults included, can take one. Do any of these places sound woooo-rthy?
