Cheap trips with friends: 10 places that work from the US

A cheap group trip needs flights that run often enough that eight people can sit on more than one departure. Azurovia compares those fares. We do not sell villas. Guide prices on city-pair pages are not a quote for your Saturday.

The ten

Las Vegas — domestic frequency, midweek wins. Miami and Fort Lauderdale — two airports, winter demand. Cancun and Punta Cana — leisure long-weekends, bags matter. San Juan — US domestic rules for many travellers, still a flight. Mexico City — food and a dense schedule from Texas and California. Austin and New Orleans — short-hops for a long weekend. Lisbon — a longer haul that still prices sanely in shoulder months from the East Coast.

How to buy it as a group

Group-trip playbook. Search the same dates. Do not mix a basic-economy no-change fare with a friend who might bail. Cheap fares.
