Families’ spring break plans run short

March 12, 2008

Half of families embarking on an upcoming spring break trip will be gone only four days or less, according to a new survey by FastPark, an off-site airport parking company that has two lots at BWI airport.

The survey found that 49 percent of people were traveling for fun; 42 percent were visiting family and friends; 7 percent said their trip was educational and 1 percent were traveling for a philanthropic reason.

The most popular departure date was the Friday or Saturday prior to the start of their child’s spring break.
