Methodology: Considered flight searches conducted on the CA locale for travel between 03/04/2017 and 04/17/2017 and compared to the year prior to see which destinations were seeing the biggest increase in search. Compared to flight searches conducted on the US locale for travel between 03/04/2016 through 04/17/2016. Filtered searches by IP address to identify which state searches were conducted in. Only considered destination results with at least 50 clicks in both 2016 and 2017. For provinces with lower click counts, we reduced the click threshold.
