The Bachelorette Party Travel Guide: Spring 2019

Spring is finally upon us, which means that bachelorette party season is in full swing. What used to be a one day event has for many become an excuse to spend an entire weekend away with friends, sometimes even out of the country. While there are few vacations as special as celebrating the people you love, this relatively new trend means that many consumers now have another out of town event to budget for.

If this sounds like you, read on for Hopper’s guide to booking the best celebration without breaking the bank.

Summary

• Flight prices are lower in early spring, so book your weekend away in late April/early May for the best deals.

• Flexible party plans? Save up to 17%. Booking your trip to start on a Saturday for getaways in our Trendy Destination cities, Miami, or New Orleans will mean lower prices compared to a Friday departure. For international destinations, make it a long weekend and start your getaway on Thursday for the best deals.

• Hotel prices are generally lowest if travelers are checking in on a Sunday, but deals are available for check ins between Thursday - Saturday for most cities.

• Remind your bridal party to watch flights on Hopper to get the best deals!
