Have Angelenos suddenly become more interested in traveling to Miami? And are Houston residents opting to spend more of their vacation days in cooler locales?
A new study from Upgraded Points highlights these and other emerging travel trends. The study involved looking at flight data to determine which destinations are growing in popularity based on origin airports.
To develop its conclusions Upgraded Points analyzed and compiled the information from the busiest airports that serve as origin points, reviewing the year-over-year change in passengers from airport to airport in order to identify destinations that have become more popular for each origin.
“Looking at destination popularity can be quite revealing, especially concerning vacation spots,” Upgraded Points Founder Alex Miller said in a statement. “Not only does it show us the most exciting vacation locations chosen for any given season or year it also reveals that a traveler’s origin greatly influences where they like to visit. For instance: Seeking a beach to flee the winter, or moving from the plains to the mountains. One thing is certain — travel preferences are not constant. Americans like variation when it comes to their travel habits.”
