For travellers and advisors

What these dates do to demand

LAUSD's spring recess (March 22 to 26, 2027) is Holy Week, a peak week for family travel to Mexico and Hawaii from Southern California.
Winter recess runs three weeks, to January 8, 2027, so LA family travel demand continues into the first week of January.
LAUSD starts in mid-August (August 12, 2026 and 2027), so summer family travel from LA ends earlier than in Seattle or Northeast districts.

More regions off at once means fuller flights and resorts that week. See the busiest weeks
