Top Tips for Spring Travel

Travel to Europe

Springtime in Europe usually means fewer crowds and a strong dollar. Plus, it’s not as hot. Why wait for summer when you could go now?

Book theme park visits in advance.

Whether it’s your first time or an annual family trip, remember that theme parks are getting busier now that families are comfortable traveling again. Many theme parks also have fluctuating rules about when guests have to reserve spaces in advance. Book your vacation before it’s too late. An experienced AAA travel advisor can help keep you up-to-date on theme park news and make sure you can fit in as much magic as possible.

Hit the High Seas

Cruising is back and bigger than ever. Record-breaking sales and gargantuan ships means you can enjoy activities like go carts, waterslides, roller coasters and ziplining. Plus, there are numerous types of cruises, from big Caribbean cruise ships to intimate European river cruises.

Protect Your Investment With Travel Insurance

Flight delays, cancellations and other travel mishaps can come with unexpected expenses. It would also be wise to add baggage insurance and coverage for non-refundable expenses. Learn more.

Go All-Inclusive

If you’re looking for a vacation with the best value, try an all-inclusive package. They can be especially cost-effective for families.

I love to highlight all-inclusive packages to warm destinations like the Dominican Republic and Mexico where families can escape for a quick getaway. These packages are as low as $348 per person and include kid’s clubs, so there are plenty of fun activities for children and parents can relax. Cruises also include food, drinks and entertainment!”
