Passrider Travel Tip of the Week

Avoid Spring Break Hotspots by Flying to Nearby Airports

Spring Break means packed flights to popular destinations like Miami (MIA), Orlando (MCO), Cancun (CUN), and Los Angeles (LAX). If flights to these cities are full, look for nearby alternate airports with better availability.

✅ Instead of MIA, try Fort Lauderdale (FLL) or West Palm Beach (PBI)
✅ Instead of MCO, try Tampa (TPA) or even Jacksonville (JAX)
✅ Instead of LAX, try Burbank (BUR), Ontario (ONT), or Long Beach (LGB)
✅ Instead of Cancun (CUN), try Cozumel (CZM), Tulum (TQO) or Mérida (MID)

Once you land, use rental cars, trains, or buses to reach your final destination. This strategy increases your chances of getting a seat while still getting you where you need to go.

That’s all I got for this week. See you next week. Here’s a new video for you too:
