How we priced these holiday trips (and what to watch)
- Flights are date-specific. Each range comes from round-trip economy fares for departures Mar 1 – Mar 31, 2027 and returns Mar 4 – Apr 4, 2027 (trips of 2–16 nights, at most 2 stops each way). Our main source is airline fare data from our flight search partner (cached fares). Where that's missing, we may fill the gap with a Google Flights calendar estimate. It's labeled on the route, the booking button still goes to our flight search partner, and the price may differ. From Los Angeles we count LAX only, not Ontario or Burbank. The low end is the cheapest fare found; the high end is the 75th-percentile fare when there are at least 5 distinct fares, otherwise the cheapest × 1.5. Routes with fewer than 3 fares are left out.
- Everything else is our regular estimate. Lodging, food, local transport and activities use the same sourced year-round estimates as our comparison pages (sources are listed there), for 7 nights and 2 adults. We don't add a holiday markup because we have no sourced figure for one. Hotels and tours are often priced above their yearly averages over holidays, so expect the non-flight part to run toward the high end of each range, or above it.
- Cached fares are a sample, not a quote. They show what travelers recently saw, not what is bookable now. Holiday fares tend to rise as the dates approach. Check the live price before you book.
- Dates roll forward automatically. We refresh these fares twice a day. Once Spring break March 2027 passes, this page moves to next year's dates and stays hidden until there's enough real fare data for them.
