Each page includes:

• What to expect for weather at various places and holiday resorts

Best Romantic Holidays for Winter 2022-23

Christmas & New Years 2022-23 Travel Rush - Dates to Avoid: The Christmas Travel Season this year will still be affected by COVID-19 somewhat, but you can still expect things to get quite busy around Friday, December 16, 2022, and stay that way until Christmas Day. So for this time period (and especially the period from Dec 21 to 24), expect to see airports very crowded. You should also brace for flight delays at most airports, but especially in hubs like Chicago, NYC, Charlotte NC, Miami, Dallas, Houston, Denver, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

For New Years, expect heavier travel loads from Sunday January 1 to Tuesday January 3. After that, things will rapidly return to normal, which is why many couples will plan and book their 2022-23 winter getaways for travel between Dec 1 to 15 and anytime after January 3, 2023.
