Featured Destination: New England

America's Amazing Northeast

Slip away to New England in fall, and feel the crunch of freshly fallen leaves beneath your feet while exploring harvest festivals, historic lighthouses and hidden gems serving up the world's best lobster rolls.

Comprising the states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont, this region offers a small-town ambiance that's hard to resist -- especially in autumn, when leaves explode into vibrant reds, oranges and golds.

While prices tend to peak in early October, even if you're a few weeks early or late for prime "leaf peeping" season, there's plenty to do. Score the best deals for late summer travel -- when crowds are fewer.

Fly into Boston, the main gateway to New England, to begin your journey.
