New Year’s Travel Deals
Close out the year in these unsuspecting New Year’s destinations
There’s no better way to ring in the New Year than by celebrating with friends and family at a premier destination, whether it’s a buzzing metropolis or a white sand beach, completely void of count downs and dropping balls. New Year’s travel deals make end-of-the-year vacations possible for many, if the goal is to get away – or to get together. Whether it’s a low-key holiday at the slopes or an all-nighter in the big city that piques your urban interest, we’ve got the answer – and New Year’s travel deals to make it happen.
Edinburgh, Scotland
Ring in the New Year hours before your friends back home do in Scotland’s brilliant capital at Hogmanay, a four-day celebration that brings Edinburgh to life. Opening ceremonies begin Friday night with a Torchlight Procession that rallies thousands of Scots outside to brave the winter chill and culminates with a firework finale – marking the beginning of a weekend full of live concerts, street parties and gift giving. Hogmanay refers to the last day of the year, and no country honors the Gregorian calendar better than Scotland does.
San Juan, Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico’s capital and largest city is vibrant year-round, thanks to its well-preserved history, friendly residents and – let’s face it – the best climate in the world. Top that off with sweet cocktails and pristine beaches, and you have yourself a top-notch beach retreat to ring in January 1. New Year’s travel deals to San Juan are a breeze to find, thanks to popular nonstop flights from the United States, courtesy of both major (American, Delta) and discount (JetBlue, Spirit) airlines. If sun and sand are what you crave, then wait no longer.
New Orleans, Louisiana
People-watching alone is an excuse to check out New Orleans this New Year’s. The Crescent City bursts at the seams when the ball drops, fusing live music, fabulous cocktails and excited visitors together for a world-renowned celebration. Less chaotic than Mardi Gras, the end-of-one-year, start-of-another festivities spread across the city, from the House of Blues to the riverfront. Consider booking a package deal – flight and hotel together – to really save on New Year’s travel deals to New Orleans.
