Bone-chilling cold weather has been in the headlines often lately, from Winter Storm Jonas in the East to Arizona in the West. So where are people planning to ditch their parkas and escape to?
The travel site Expedia crunched its flight-booking data for the most popular warm-weather destinations on its site from January through March. And the biggest winter hotspot, it should be no surprise, is Las Vegas.
The second-most-booked warm-weather spot is Orlando and all its Disney attractions. That’s followed by Cancun, Los Angeles, and Miami.

Drilling down further, Expedia looked at which warm-weather spots are most in demand for President’s Day weekend. Perhaps because of the extra travel day south of the border, Cancun comes out on top, followed by Orlando, Vegas, L.A., and Miami.
