Best places to travel: 10 cities with the biggest discounts on airfare in June

If you've had enough of spring showers and are ready to kick off summer, you may be looking for a quick, fun getaway that won't kill your vacation budget. Is it possible to get away more than once this summer?

Absolutely! As long as you know where to find the deals, you can travel for a lot less, even out of the country. In a recent study, travel-tracking site Hopper gazed into its crystal ball and made some predictions on where you can find decent airfare deals right now — and how much those prices are projected to drop in the coming weeks.

Using average national airfare prices and comparing them to jet fuel costs, seasonal travel peaks and variations, Hopper generated a list of the top U.S. and international destinations to save you money.

While Hopper anticipates airfare prices to peak in June, analysts say domestic prices will tumble in July and will remain low through October — so the deals should continue through autumn. But if you're ready to bounce now, here's how much you can save on travel. Plus, researchers at Wonder helped us identify cool events and attractions for the 10 top destinations below.
