There’s no denying it: this summer is absolutely sizzling. If the only things getting you through the season are chafe sticks and ice in every liquid (even soup), it might be time for a coolcation – or a trip to somewhere temperate. Luckily we rounded up our cheapest flights to chiller-than-average cities. So you can dial the temperature down from a boil to a simmer.
