East Coast sophistication meets West Coast cool in British Columbia's popular destination. Vancouver is set against a mountainous backdrop and home to the world's highest and longest suspension footbridge, Capilano Suspension Bridge, plus 1000-acre Stanley Park and 10 beaches.
Average temperatures range from 41 Fahrenheit in the winter to 75 in the summer. Before you go, check the weather forecast at BudgetTravelOnline.com.
What makes this a deal? In comparison, the lowest airfare we found from Los Angeles to Vancouver is $283 in January (Alaska) and $366 in April (Delta). For a little over $300 more, Maxxim Vacations covers round-trip airfare and three nights' accommodations at a centrally located hotel.
