The study provides the top 10 holiday destinations for Christmas and New Year?s, evaluating the average airfare and daily hotel rates in each of the most popular markets.
Airfares have risen all year, mainly due to higher fuel prices and airlines offering fewer seats for sale by flying smaller aircrafts.
The travel period studied were December 23-27 for Christmas and December 30-January 2 for New Year?s.
Thanks in part to price drops, Orlando took the top spot for both periods.

And Orlando?s New Year?s airfare and hotel rates dropped 7 percent each from last year.
