We've collected a list of some of the best vacation spots for winter, spring, summer and fall...because knowing when to go is just as important as knowing where to go! Just pick the month you would like to get away, and you'll find a listing of different romantic vacation destinations particularly good for travel to that month.

Each page includes:

• What to expect for weather at various places and holiday resorts
• What the travel season is (high or low) and what the crowds are usually like
• When you can expect to find the cheapest deals

Best Romantic Holidays for Winter 2023-24

Christmas & New Years 2023-24 Travel Rush - Dates to Avoid: Expect things to get quite busy around Friday, December 15, 2023, and stay that way until Christmas Day. So for this time period (and especially the period from Dec 21 to 24), expect to see airports very crowded. You should also brace for flight delays at most airports, but especially in hubs like Chicago, NYC, Charlotte NC, Miami, Dallas, Houston, Denver, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

For New Years, expect heavier travel loads from Monday January 1 to Wednesday January 3. After that, things will rapidly return to normal, which is why many couples will plan and book their 2023-24 winter getaways between Dec 1 to 15 and anytime after January 3, 2024.
