When to travel
62 destinations where February is the season worth going — with what each one costs a day, how safe it rates, and flights from your airport.
February is the last comfortable month before the pre-monsoon heat arrives in Asia, and the cheapest month of the year to fly almost anywhere in Europe. If you want the tropics without April's humidity, this is the window.
The ones we would book this month, and why this month.
Angkor without the rain and without May's 38°C. Mornings are cool enough to climb temples before the crowds arrive.
Peak dry season: warm days, low humidity and almost no rain. It is high season, so it is not the cheap month — it is the good one.
Still deep in the cool dry season. The Andaman coast is calm, the north is clear, and the burning season has not started yet.
Every destination in season this month, cheapest first. Daily cost is bed, food and getting around — not flights.
Seasons here are the destination’s own, not the calendar’s: for Argentina or New Zealand, “summer” means December to February. Daily costs are typical mid-range budgets, last reviewed in August 2026.
