Plan your spring break strategically to have the most fun once you're on vacation.

You have the most fun when you are not worried about details, so find out the details on your spring break package before you go. Read the fine print on what spring break packages include, and request specific information - in writing – about what happens in case of cancelled or delayed flights or overbooking, for example. Make sure you ask about and understand what will happen if your plans change for any reason. Watch out for hidden costs, such as airport taxes and other resort fees that can make your costs skyrocket. Finally, remember that it's better to safe than sorry: buy travel insurance that will let you change your plans or cancel your trip at any time without penalties.
