Oh boy! It appears at least one budget airline smells blood in the water as Southwest just put the kibosh on their long-standing policy of “bags fly free”.

One might think when that shocking domino fell, it would kickstart a trickle-down fee-economics effect, but so far, so good for travelers’ wallets.

Time will tell if Southwest loyalists will stick around, but one competitor has decided to fill the gap by putting their well-documented strict (and controversial) baggage policies behind them, allowing travelers to check bags for free…at least for the summer.

Frontier Airlines, who were recently under public scrutiny for admitting to Senate they were compensating gate agents to target passengers’ bag sizes, resulting in extra fees or denied boarding, have now turned a corner.

According to a press release, not only will Frontier be offering free checked bags, but a whole bunch of other freebies that just might lure travelers back in to trust their airline.

“At the end of the day, travelers just want to be valued”. “We’re bringing back the things people love about flying – free bags, free seat selection, and flexibility – without the extra fees. No games, just great value.”- Barry Biffle, CEO, Frontier Airlines

Frontier’s Summer Of Freebies

Who could’ve seen this coming? The most notoriously stringent budget airline in the States is showing some grace.

Of course, one has the right to question if it’s in good faith or simply a marketing ploy, given how surprising Southwest’s sudden shift in policies was last week.

Regardless, every Frontier traveler flying from today through August 18 has the chance to score some major freebies.

So, let’s break this down.

Free Economy Bundle:

Any avid budget traveler knows most airlines in this category have tiers to choose from, and that’s where most make the mistake of not reading the fine print.

For the time being, you won’t have to as all travelers will receive the perks of Frontier’s Economy Bundle:

• Free carry-on bag (in addition to ‘Personal Item’)
• Free seat selection
• Free flight changes

One Very Important Detail: Don’t Miss The Deadline

Again, every time you book a trip with a budget airline, reading the fine print is one of the most important things you can do to ensure your budget flight indeed remains a budget flight.

I’m not talking about going line by line through the never-ending Terms of Service, rather reading the details of the itemized charges before checking out and making you understand your baggage allowance.

In this case, with the new promotion, all travelers will need to book their summer trip by March 24 or else you’ll miss out on the deal.

How To Score A Free Checked Bag

Scoring a free checked bag is slightly more complicated than other aforementioned freebies. Those are available from today through August 18, but the free checked bag promotion has a shorter window.

Unfortunately, spring breakers won’t be able to pack their beer bongs, novelty hats, and inflatable flamingos without paying a very confusing checked bag fee (see here).

The free checked bag requires a promo code: FREEBAG. Easy enough, right?

This code is valid for all bookings between May 28, 2025 and August 18, 2025 and the same March 24 booking deadline applies.

In the terms of the promotion, Frontier states: “To receive promotional pricing, customer must enter promo code FREEBAG during new flight purchase made by 11:59pm Eastern time on March 24, 2025 for travel from May 28, 2025 through August 18, 2025. Limit one free Checked Bag per person, per direction, weight limit applies“.

It doesn’t appear Frontier is limiting travelers’ free bags to only domestic routes, and they actually fly to some really cool international places, such as Punta Cana, Puerto Vallarta, and most recently, Aruba and Honduras.

My Experience Flying Frontier

I’ve flown Frontier too many times to count, but also too many times I care to remember — and it’s not just the bag-policing.

I’m not here to trash the airline, but when their CEO releases quotes like “We’ve always had heart” after paying gate agents to target their own customers and “If travelers show us the love, we’ll make these perks permanent”, I don’t know about you, but it rubs me the wrong way as a passionate traveler and journalist.

Especially, when I just tried to fly Frontier March 16 from San Francisco to San Diego with what should’ve been a seamless hour-and-a-half long flight only to be delayed for about 3 hours and ultimately cancelled ‘due to weather’, yet somehow Frontier’s San Francisco – Los Angeles flight still managed to take off that same evening.

Funny how that works.

Frontier left us with no option for a direct route back to San Diego in the coming days. The only other option was to take a 15-hour journey with a long layover for what should have been an hour-and-a-half flight.

My girlfriend and I reluctantly decided to bite the bullet by overpaying for a rental car and drove overnight back home to San Diego that there’s less than a zero percent chance Frontier will reimburse.

These are the type of situations you can find yourself in by flying not just Frontier, but budget airlines in general.

Free checked bag or not, if your airline leaves you stranded, you’ll be forking over a lot more than the amount you saved.

An airline you may not be quite as familiar with has taken over U.S. skies as the ‘most reliable’ carrier in the country.

Given my awful experiences with budget airlines lately, that’s quite a feat, but not one to worry about with Avelo Airlines.

One of America’s newest additions, taking its first flight in Spring 2021, the low-cost carrier has rapidly expanded since its inception, starting off solely as a domestic carrier and now offering travelers affordable fares to some of the most sought-after international beach destinations.

Recently announcing a fourth international flight to one of the Caribbean’s most popular resort destinations, Avelo’s passport-required portfolio now totals 4 premiere getaways for an epic vacation.

Avelo Now Flies To 4 Amazing Caribbean Destinations

As the official first day of spring is right around the corner, there’s no better time to plan a Caribbean escape.

The downside is airlines know this and often jack up the prices knowing you’ll pay it regardless.

Well, that’s the beauty of budget airlines, especially when they’re as reliable as Avelo and not fighting bankruptcy or removing the only enticing perk that’s built a loyal team of travelers for decades (ahem, Southwest).

Avelo kicked off its international portfolio with Montego Bay in 2024 and has continued adding on with more flights to Cancun and Punta Cana as well.

So, let’s break down these popular vacation spots and why you should consider flying with Avelo over their competition.

Truth be told, Avelo has some strong competition with Frontier and Spirit both flying here too, but the biggest risk flying budget airlines isn’t safety or unreasonably high bag fees — it’s the scheduling.

Budget airlines stick to a tight schedule, often offering only one flight per day. If there’s a cancellation, it’s not unheard of to be stuck until the next flight, which could be days away.

While Avelo is certainly still growing, if you have the option to book with them, this lessens the odds of a massive travel headache should such a situation arise, all for trying to save a few bucks over peace of mind.

Montego Bay:

Jamaica’s most renowned resort town never disappoints. With ample flights here and numerous high-end resorts to choose from, Jamaica’s slice of paradise has long been one of the Caribbean’s most popular vacation destinations.

With bucket-list resorts like numerous Secrets properties, Sandals, and Riu, plus being a gateway to the stunning beach town of Negril, you can’t go wrong!

Avelo offers nonstop flights from Hartford and Raleigh-Durham (seasonal).

Cancun:

The most popular international beach getaway for Americans is none other than Cancun. Anyone surprised?

Mexico’s year-round escape for sun, sand, and luxurious resorts serving up ice-cold cervezas at the swim-up bar and endless plates at all-inclusives is never a bad idea for an easy-to-reach vacation.

At this point, many travelers have their favorite go-to resort year after year, but keep an eye out for these new hotels opening in Cancun, including a newly-opened posh Marriott all-inclusive resort.

Avelo offers nonstop flights from Hartford.

Punta Cana:

Despite being neighbors with Haiti, the Dominican Republic hasn’t missed a beat in terms of tourism.

The nation’s shining star continues to be resort-laden Punta Cana with largely affordable resorts and one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Bavaro.

With plentiful flights and upscale resorts, Punta Cana has planted their flag in Cancun’s shadow and continues to rise as the D.R. shows no signs of slowing down as more Americans vacation here.

Avelo offers nonstop flights from Hartford and Raleigh-Durham (seasonal).

Avelo’s Newest International Destination: Nassau

North Carolinians must Raleigh love vacations because this underrated southern city is quickly becoming a major springboard to some of the world’s top vacation spots.

Already offering flights to Punta Cana and Montego Bay, now Raleigh has landed Nassau as Avelo’s latest Caribbean addition.

The Bahamian capital is gleaming with colorful streets, gorgeous white sand beaches, and towering resorts with equal parts relaxation and entertainment for the whole family.

Travelers will have to wait until summer to take advantage of the new Nassau route as it’s slated to launch June 11, 2025, with two flights per week on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

However, tickets are already on sale online with promotional fares as low as $84 one-way.

Often considered the largest city in the world, Tokyo’s efficiency in navigating an endless sea of crowds is a remarkable achievement.

One would think the narrow alleyways teeming with hidden izakayas would be impossible to explore in a city north of 14 million residents, and that’s not factoring in the number of tourists in Tokyo at all times either.

Even as efficient and streamlined as Tokyo may be, there’s a reason the city employs “pushers” to quite literally stuff passengers into subway trains when the doors won’t close.

Hard pass on that if you ask me…

Well, even though Tokyo tops my travel bucket list, after reading Condé Nast’s take on Japan’s new travel hotspot, the allure of Osaka even has me questioning if crossing off Tokyo is the right decision this year.

With a never-ending array of cultural delights, new luxe hotels, and hip and funky vibes, Osaka has been rightfully crowned Japan’s new “it” destination for 2025.

Japan’s ‘Second City’ Is Rising Fast

Let’s be real. Tokyo isn’t going anywhere. That being said, Osaka has created a name for itself where many travelers are now double-dipping in Japan making sure to visit both cities.

Of course, Japan’s bullet trains make that quest a lot easier. There are nonstop flights from Los Angeles and San Francisco, as well as Toronto and Vancouver. Obviously, Tokyo is more connected, but Osaka is easy to reach by lightning-speed trains in under 4 hours, and the precision is masterful.

Point being Osaka has been surging as of late and Condé Nast isn’t the first or last to report on Japan’s new hotspot.

Whether it be more Americans scratching their wanderlust itch or solo travelers from all over the world, Osaka ticks off many boxes from fascinating cultural experiences to sensational food and cheaper hotels than Tokyo, where it’s not uncommon to find 4-star stays in the low $100’s.

No More Quiet Time: Slurping Encouraged

If you’ve researched Tokyo as your next passport-required adventure or have already visited, you’re probably well aware of the efficiency I mentioned up top.

Locals are almost unrecognizable, respectful of other people’s surroundings, and must think Americans are absolutely nuts if they were to ride on the New York subway — and it’s not just the pizza-eating rats.

Whether it be restaurants, train rides, or public spaces, locals are polite and try not to draw any attention to disrupt your day, but Osaka is a different story.

While Osaka locals are still friendly and respectful, it’s okay to slurp your noodles and engage in conversation without concern for your neighbor.

Osaka is actually considered Japan’s party playground, so noise is pretty common as this vibrant city also permeates a grittier edge than Tokyo’s notable tidiness.

You’ll find an array of fun bars, including karaoke-themed clubs and backrooms, and of course, gaming centers, which have become all the rage.

Most importantly, you’ll never go hungry in Osaka. The food is truly phenomenal, whether it be sushi you’ve never fathomed back home and different variations of authentic noodles, seafood, Japan’s famous Kobe beef, and local favorites such as okonomiyaki.

The Dotonbori district is the most sought-after region of Osaka for foodies, but isn’t everyone a foodie when visiting Japan?
You’ll also find scenic canal cruises here.

What’s New In Osaka: Luxe Hotels, Cutting-Edge Tech, & Cherry Blossom Blooms

Osaka will host the World Expo 2025, a massive event showcasing the latest global innovations of gizmos and gadgets and expected to draw a surge of visitors from all over the world.

Condé Nast highlighted the following 3 newbies to Osaka travelers need to check out this year:

Of course, a trip to Japan in spring is one of the prettiest places in the world as cities such as Osaka see blushing blooms of cherry blossoms spread all over the city.

Even more locals come outside of their four walls to embrace their vibrant city to participate in the tradition of hanami, a time to enjoy cherry blossoms by spending more time outdoors such as picnics.

Here are 5 great spots to enjoy Osaka’s cherry blossoms this spring:

• Osaka Castle Park (formerly Japan’s largest castle; free to enter)
• Kema Sakuranomiya Park
• Expo ’70 Commemorative Park
• Osaka Mint Bureau
• Okawa River

Or if you prefer to have someone else lead the way, simply book a cherry blossom tour or scope out the best spot when you visit by checking out this updated forecast.

Home to world-famous landmarks like the Colosseum, the floating city of Venice, and the leaning tower of Pisa, not to mention all the gorgeous alpine nature and scenic coastline, it’s no wonder Italy is the most visited country in the world at the minute.

Don’t trust us, trust the numbers.

Culturally-rich, and insanely-popular as it may be, Italy has failed to nab one prestigious award:

Recently, the EBD (or European Best Destinations) were revealed at a tourism fair in Berlin, and according to experts, Italy doesn’t come anywhere near the top spot.

This year, it’s out with la dolce vita, and in with Život je lijep: life is beautiful, and it sure feels magical when you’re lounging by a pebbly beach in Croatia.

Wait… Is This Croatia Yet?

The pearl of the Balkans, Croatia has brought home the title of Best European Country to Visit in 2025 at the ITB Berlin fair, charging ahead of long-time favorites like aforementioned Italy, Greece, France, and even Spain.

Millions of people flock to Italy every year for its picture-perfect towns and laid-back living, and if you haven’t traveled to Croatia yet, you should probably know that, in many ways, it resembles the brotherly country across the Adriatic.

Take the charming city of Pula, for instance:

A mini Rome by the sea, it is littered with ancient landmarks, from Roman temples to intact city gates, and it even preserves a large amphitheater that, unlike the Colosseum, has not had part of its elliptical exterior collapse.

Further down the coast in Rovinj, the pastel-hue facades and Romanesque bell towers seem like a direct continuation of Venice, minus the canals, and over in Split, you’ll find a fast-rising summer hub revolving around a Roman-era palace, now filled with merchant shops and cafe-bordered piazzas.

Of course, let’s not forget Dubrovnik, probably the number one destination in Croatia:

A fortified harbor town hugged by the teal-colored Adriatic, its cobble-paved alleys and imposing turrets dating back to the Middle Ages have featured on your favorite fantasy series of all time.

GoT fans, where you at?

Natural Wonders Galore

Croatia’s boundless natural beauty is yet another huge draw for tourists landing here in 2025.

It lays claim to some of the most beautiful natural parks in Europe, including Plitviče, a chain of 16 terraced lakes backed by cascading waterfalls that empty into crystal-clear natural pools before flowing into a limestone canyon.

It’s quite an extensive park, comprising a 113-square-mile reserve, and there are several wooden walkways built over the pristine waters, as well as hiking trails looping around the lagoon.

If you’re visiting, make sure you check out the stunning Veliki Slap, a 78-meter waterfall.

Further inland, near the bustling Croatian capital of Zagreb, Medvednica mountain is traversed with tourist-friendly hiking paths, that lead to breathtaking lookouts, and over in a hill-dotted Istria, rolling vineyards and a hilltop Motovun, one of the oldest settlements in Europe, await discovery.

Croatia is also a world-class beach destination, with its many islands and over 1,104 miles of coastline:

What’s Stopping You From Going Island-Hopping?

If it’s a relaxing summer getaway you’ve got your heart set on, without packing too many activities into a single day, the blissful Brač is where you should be headed: it offers white-pebble beaches, lush nature, and deserted coves.

For the livelier atmosphere and busy nightlife, you can’t go wrong with a trendy Hvar, the next Ibiza on the making—the main settlement, Hvar Town is a postcard picture come to life, with its Spanish fortress and centuries-old dwellings built from stone.

On the mainland, a more offbeat Makarska boasts a palm tree-lined, seafront promenade, culminating in a paradisaical Ramova Beach, and if you’re heading to Dubrovnik, but you’re hoping to stay a little out of town to avoid the crowds, Cavtat is that sweet spot.

Settled back in Illyrian times, it is now a lively resort town famous for its quieter beaches and exclusive guesthouses, some of which can be surprisingly affordable:

A whole studio apartment with pool access will set you back by $72 (for 2 adults) this spring.

No Longer The Cheap Alternative To Italy, But Hey, It’s Still Bang For Your Buck

Speaking of prices, it’s been widely reported that Croatia is no longer as affordable as it might once have been.

That’s only natural: it’s coming off a long process of societal development that started in the early 90s, when it seceded from a then-communist Yugoslavia, and since joining the European Union in 2013, it’s set out on a path of full European integration.

In recent years, this has meant ditching its historical currency, the kuna, and adopting the euro, as well as joining the border-free Schengen Zone: what we’re trying to say is that consumer prices in Croatia currently reflect the arguably improved living standards of locals.

The poor man’s version of Italy, no more: tourists should plan on spending around $52 on food, and $106 on hotels on average per day vacationing in Croatia, as per Budget Your Trip estimates.

Pricier than it used to be in the years of Poles, Czechs, and lower-income German families driving down here as an alternative to a boujee Amalfi Coast, but still reasonably-priced by U.S. standards.

Oh, before we forget, this summer, Americans can fly nonstop to Dubrovnik from Newark, from $986 roundtrip.

One unexpected East Coast state has been quietly creeping up on travelers’ itineraries the past few years, including my own.

The magnetizing seafarer’s charm, endless seafood shacks, and tranquil shores of Maine have become a huge draw for travelers seeking sun and sand over the big city grind, but the O.G. of idyllic East Coast beaches is still alive and well…and surprisingly affordable!

That would be Massachusetts — home to popular beach destinations of Cape Cod, Provincetown, and Martha’s Vineyard

But there’s another lesser-known cluster of beach towns with virtually no crowds, and recently highlighted as the East Coast’s most affordable coastal getaway.

Cape Ann: New England’s Affordable Seaside Paradise

You might be wondering where Cape Ann is located and how it’s slipped through the cracks for so long, and rightfully so.

An easy 53-minute trip from Boston lies this gorgeous peninsula lined with numerous towns oozing charm and character with rustic waterfront shops, scenic harbors, and of course, beautiful beach hideaways.

Deeply steeped in maritime history, Cape Ann is a classic New England coastal escape with strong ties to the sea, which has now transformed into an underrated vacation spot.

Rather than name-brand resorts, Cape Ann boasts cozier stays without the corporate nonsense. Think historic inns and boutique stays, such as Rockport Inn & Suites in the low $100s through April.

Although, your best bargain isn’t a hotel but a State Park. Halibut State Park, located at the very tip of the peninsula, is free to enter and great spot for cycling, hiking, and sweeping coastal views.

Which Beach Towns To Visit

Let’s unpack this cluster of Cape Ann towns to give you a better idea of where to vacation this spring.

Gloucester:

Proudly boasting America’s oldest seaport, this scenic town blends history and coastal bliss with multiple insightful museums as well as stunning natural beauty.

A true vacation destination, despite not being a household name, there’s plenty to do, see, and indulge in.

Of the cluster of towns making up Cape Ann, Gloucester is arguably the best for a quintessential beach vacation.

So much so, their tourism goes as far as boldly claiming their vibrant coastlines behold ‘several of the world’s most beautiful beaches’ such as Good Harbor Beach with Caribbean-esque waters.

Order ‘oak grilled’ entrees from a wood-fired grill and 500-gallon smoker at Oak to Ember in the heart of the Seaport, book an ocean-view room at Beauport Hotel, and cap off your beach day with a sunset cruise.

Manchester-by-the-Sea:

Manchester-by-the-Sea (also known simply as “Manchester”) is a tranquil seaside town offering an upscale lifestyle with unmissable cliffside mansions, slower pace, and one of the American’s most unique beaches.

Singing Beach got the name not because it’s a 24/7 karaoke party but because the sand “sings” when you walk on it.

In a CBS News report showcasing how unique and wonderful Singing Beach is to visit, one resident claimed “Honestly, when it’s quiet, it’s heaven. It really is.”

Of this bunch of beach towns, Manchester is the priciest, but mostly in real estate. That being said, your best bet is booking in a neighboring town (or Boston) and making a day trip out of it.

Rockport:

While many vacationers enjoy much-needed downtime in peace and quiet, Rockport is where the “action” is with quirky shops, line-out-the-door seafood eateries, and Motif #1, the ‘most often-painted building in America’.

In other words, this beautiful coastal town is a huge draw for artists, free spirits and non-conformists as it offers a vibrant, welcoming, Boho atmosphere.

Unlike Gloucester’s long stretches of beaches, Rockport offers pint-sized coved and more secluded shores.

Grab a must-have bowl of Clam Chowdah from The Fish Shack, unwind in a seaside lounge chair at Eden Pines Inn, and enjoy a leisurely stroll along the calm blue waters.
