Top 10 New Year's Destinations for Budget Travelers

— -- New Year's is fun. New Year's is festive. New Year's can also be expensive, especially if you want to skip town and take a little vacation to ring in the New Year.

And with the ball drop just under two weeks away, those without plans might think a getaway is out of the budget. But it may not be: travel giant Kayak said people booking two weeks out for New Year's travel might actually score a deal. They've crunched the numbers to find the destination with the average lowest airfare to guide would-be travelers.

And here's one more tip: Try flying on New Year's Eve or returning on New Year's Day to score the best prices: Airlines for America predicts those two days will be among the least-traveled of the holiday season. More empty seats = lower fares.

To go along with cheap airfare -- or perhaps to skip the airfare all together and drive to your New Year's Eve destination -- HotelTonight, the last-minute hotel booking app, will launch a 7 Days of New Years sale on Dec. 26 at 9 a.m. with $99 hotel rooms in the following cities: Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Dallas, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Napa, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco or Seattle. Select a check-in date of December 31 to find the special $99 rooms.

These rooms are limited and will go quickly.
