It’s almost August, which means you have probably been feeling it—especially if you live anywhere in the South or any big, concrete-filled city.
I’m talking about the scorching summer heat. Admit it—Regardless of whether you classify yourself as a summer or winter baby, too much heat is just too much heat, to the point that you’ve definitely caught yourself daydreaming about fresh breeze and coolcations at least once this summer.
Just know that you’re not alone—to the point that a whole travel trend is born out of this desire. “Coolcations” are exactly what they sound like—vacations that let you escape the mind-wrecking heat in favor of colder, much more agreeable climates.
If you want to jump in on the trend and escape from the heat, we can help. Kayak, the travel booking platform, has rounded up the cheapest flights to some of the best coolcation destinations, which are worthy of the name for being “chiller than average” during the summer. And remember, once you’ve picked your destination, make sure to set up a price alert on Kayak so that you can get notified when flight prices drop.
