Las Vegas, Miami, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver and Honolulu were other notable spring break destinations for families. Honolulu had the most expensive average roundtrip airfare at $751.

In terms of international spring break destinations, families are setting their sights on a mix of Caribbean and European destinations. Cancun, Mexico, was the top family spring break hotspot with an average round trip airfare of $527, which was the most affordable airfare on the list.

Surprisingly enough, families are also heading to Europe, too. London, England, and Paris, France, came in second and third, and Barcelona, Spain, came in seventh.

Other Caribbean destinations that families are visiting this year are San Jose, Costa Rica, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Grand Cayman Island, Los Cabos Mexico, and Montego Bay, Jamaica.

"With the rise of international low-cost carriers, traveling to a number of major cities in Europe has become very affordable compared to past years," said Tom Spagnola, SVP of Supplier Relations at CheapOair. "In some cases, taking a family trip to England or France in March – the off-season for those destinations – may end up being cheaper than a trip to one of the tropical destinations."
