Most Popular Holiday Trips Revealed, According to Google

Travel trends are constantly evolving and the destinations people choose to visit change every year.

Google Flights has revealed the most popular flights of the moment as many travellers look to get away for the holidays.

Orlando, Cancun, New York, Tokyo and London are the most popular destinations searched for by people between November 24 and December 1, in that order.

Looking at data on flights departing from U.S. airports between December 22 and January 5, the most popular trips for Christmas and New Year's include Tokyo, Orlando, Cancun, Miami and New York.

“If you’re traveling to the U.S. for Thanksgiving, our aggregate data shows that the cheapest fares are typically available in early October,” said James Byers, group product manager, search at Google, told Fox News Digital.

Although many cities overlap for different vacation destinations, Orlando appears to be the popular favorite, taking first place for the most popular destination for Thanksgiving and second place for the Christmas and New Year holidays.

This is likely due to the year-round warm climate and theme park attractions such as Disney World and Universal Orlando.

Cancun, Mexico, another sunny destination, also tops both lists, coming in second for Thanksgiving and third for the December holiday.

But despite the lack of warmth, New York City comes in third as a popular Thanksgiving destination, perhaps thanks in part to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and other seasonal activities, like ice skating at Rockefeller Center.

Airlines are trying to keep up with these travel trends by updating their routes.

American Airlines has added new flights to warm, sunny spots like St. Lucia, St. Maarten and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, while JetBlue and Southwest are expanding service to the Bahamas and Puerto Rico.
