If you’re craving sunshine but not looking to splurge, you’re in luck. KAYAK’s newly released Spring Savings Report has named Mexico City the most affordable warm-weather getaway this season. With average airfare at $416, hotel rates around $211 per night, and an estimated $1,471 total for a five-day trip, it’s an unbeatable deal for spring travelers.

May is the warmest month in Mexico City, with daytime temperatures hovering around 80ºF. Spring also brings a full calendar of events, including the Corredor Cultural Roma-Condesa, a lively festival celebrating design, food, fashion, music, and architecture in two of the city’s trendiest neighborhoods. Travelers in early May can also catch local observances of Cinco de Mayo, which includes historical reenactments and festive dining experiences throughout the capital.

Grand Canyon Sunset

The sheer size of Grand Canyon National Park, which spans over 1,900 square miles, means you'll need more than just a few days to explore everything in this stunning natural formation — known as one of the world's seven natural wonders.

If you're only visiting the Grand Canyon for a few days (or even just one day), the Buck Wild Hummer Tour is the perfect way to experience the can't-miss spots and see a stunning, one-of-a-kind sunset. Here's what you'll experience in a three-hour Buck Wild Signature Sunset Tour.

Newark Liberty International Airport

Travelers may want to avoid connecting through Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), as it continues facing delays that began last week.
