March is also often the cheapest time to travel to numerous destinations all over the world. Airlines and hotels are starting to feel the post-holiday hit and they’re looking to entice people to visit just before the spring break and summer wave of travellers begin.

Surely all this talk of vacationing on some faraway exotic island or even in a charming city close to home has got you feeling some anxious FOMO vibes. Don’t miss out, just book a ticket. Here’s a list of the seven cheapest places to travel in March 2020 to help you narrow down some spots.

Cheapest Places To Travel In March 2020

1. San Francisco, California

The best time to fly to San Francisco? March. As one of the cheapest places to travel in March 2020, San Francisco, and the entire Bay Area welcomes you with so much to see and do.

2. Havana, Cuba

Between February and April, there’s a sweet spot called March, and it’s one of the cheapest times to travel to Havana. December and April seem to be the most expensive times to fly to Cuba’s capital city. In March, however, you can enjoy basking in the spring sun as you sip Cuba Libres and trace Hemingway’s drunken footsteps all over town. You simply have to head to Cuba to enjoy this paradise for yourself.

3. Cuzco, Peru

While Cuzco is a bit of a faraway destination for most travellers outside of South America (heck, even the ones living in South America, too), the cheapest time to travel to this famous Peruvian city is in March. You’ll see about a 4% drop in flight prices, with flights averaging out at less than $750 roundtrip. For a chance to explore the Sacred Valley and one of the Seven Wonders of the World, that’s not bad at all.

4. Madrid, Spain

Okay, so the actual cheapest time to fly to Madrid is in October. But, due to special travel deals, it’s currently one of the cheapest places to travel in March 2020. Flights in March are usually only about $50 more expensive than the absolute cheapest anyway. This year, however, you’ll wanna snag a hot ticket and get your butt on over to Spain’s capital city. The weather should be just warm enough for a stroll in El Retiro and some tapas on a rooftop terrace.

5. Cairo, Egypt

The cheapest month to fly to Egypt is in February, followed very closely by March. And, while flying to Africa is usually never cheap for any savvy traveller, you’ll find that Cairo is a budget traveller’s paradise. According to our research, accommodations seem to be less expensive in March. And, not only are the crowds significantly smaller at top tourist attractions, but the weather is sunny and balmy without being too blisteringly hot. Gaze in awe and wonder at the iconic ancient pyramids without too many other tourists.
