Austin
Austin is known for a lot of things: from fantastic food to beautiful vistas, it’s all just a part of what makes this city so great. Austin is notorious for being Texas’ “weirdest” city, with endless unique shops, venues, and restaurants to experience and explore!
Whether you’re in the city for a week or a weekend, you’re sure to have a great time in Austin. You can spend an evening on the town listening to live music or spend days exploring the historical sites, museums, and galleries this city has to offer.
For your next adventure, catch a non-stop flight to Austin with Southwest from your Valley International Airport.
New York City
New York City, the Big Apple, is the second great tourist destination on our list. It hardly needs to be said that this famous city is packed with gorgeous art, historic architecture, rich cultural diversity, and enough to see to last the rest of your life without experiencing it all.
If you’re interested in history and culture, then there are plenty of tours you can take that will take you to destinations like the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Empire State Building, and the 9/11 Ground Zero Museum. Or, you can strike off on your own with nothing but your phone and your sense of direction to guide you. Just be sure you do keep some form of map or GPS handy in this massive metropolis.
Attractions like Lady Liberty make New York perfect for a family trip during the day, but the city also has a bustling nightlife. There are plenty of fun after-dark places to visit including bars, clubs, comedy and music events, and more!
Los Angeles
For something on a completely different side of the map, Los Angeles is also a one-stop destination you can visit with a Southwest flight from VIA. While you’ll find a vibrant nightlife just like New York, Los Angeles is also known for having a more laidback atmosphere than NYC.
You can get all your tourist thrills in by visiting places like Hollywood, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, or Disneyland. If you want a more casual vacation experience, however, you can also soak up the sun on one of the many beaches of this fair city. If you have a bigger budget, there are also plenty of resorts that you can visit for an infinitely relaxing experience!
New Orleans
If you’re passionate about music, then you’ll definitely want to take a non-stop flight to New Orleans this summer. For a sight of the vibrant life, you’ll want to check out Bourbon Street. Known as New Orleans’s liveliest nightlife hub, you’ll discover plenty of jazz and rock ‘n’ roll events on Bourbon Street. This historic street is also home to some of the city’s best jazz clubs, Including Fritzel’s European Jazz Club.
Of course, while you’re in New Orleans, you’ll also want to check out the delicious food this city has perfected over the centuries! You’ll discover plenty of delicious Creole dishes that will leave you feeling full and satisfied. If you enjoy spicy food, then you’ll definitely be in for a treat in New Orleans!
Idaho Falls
Idaho Falls is another great choice for your next one-stop flight vacation. Idaho Falls is most well known for being close to Yellowstone National Park, something that should definitely be something on your bucket list! This nearly 3,500 square mile park sits on top of a volcanic hotspot and features endless fantastical sights!
At Yellowstone National Park you can discover canyons, alpine rivers, forests, hot springs, and geysers, including the park’s famous Old Faithful geyser. Yellowstone is the perfect spot for a family trip, and it also is just about the ultimate place to take pictures!
If Yellowstone isn’t your thing, Idaho Falls still has plenty for you to have fun doing! Idaho Falls also has a vibrant downtown area where you can find a selection of local-history exhibits. You might also want to visit the Idaho Falls Zoo at Tautphaus Park, featuring sloths, lions, penguins, countless other animals, and a petting zoo.
