Take a Breck Break in Breckenridge through March 11 and enjoy some of the biggest savings of the season, including up to 30 percent off lodging; rates at the Village Hotel start at $175 a night. Imagine all the slopes you and your family can tackle on the five mountain peaks.

 

The longer you stay, the more you’ll save at Beaver Creek.

If your sights are on Vail for your spring travel plans, there are a couple of ways to save while living it up on the slopes.

What’s more, Spring Back to Vail is a terrific way to experience all of the family fun to be had, including Adventure Ridge with ski bikes, a kid’s snowmobile track, rip-roaring tubing lanes and more.

Head to Seattle for a Family-Friendly Skillcation

Seattle is always good for a family vacation to the Pacific Northwest because of its plethora of outdoor experiences. But it’s also a great place to plan a skillcation, a trip designed around specific skills or hobbies your family is either interested in learning about or already involved in.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
