Getting warmer: Direct flights from Baltimore

From Baltimore: 1,000 miles, about three hours

Why it’s hot: New Orleans is a city that needs no introduction. The Franco-Afro-Spanish port city has produced some of the richest cultural experiences the United State has to offer. Whether you’re looking for great music, Mardi Gras indulgence, or to recreate Tiffany Haddish’s “Girls Trip” scene on a Bourbon Street zipline, the only necessity is a willingness to have a great time.
