Thanks, Midwestindy! Checking their website I see it's a relatively-small, one-month extension to the 4th of Nov. I'm curious what you define as fall break. Folks here in Texas generally define fall break as US Thanksgiving week, which is the last week in November.
I know here in the midwest, it's not unusual for students to get a long weekend sometime in October. I know we have a 4 day weekend the last weekend of October. Other places it is around Columbus Day.
Yep, most Midwest schools/colleges (even lots of West Coast as well - USC/ASU/e.t.c) have some sort of break across a ~2-3 week stretch in middle of October, some it's only a long weekend and some it's a whole week. For context, Midwest schools generally start back earlier in the year than in the Northeast
For IND for example, it's the busiest travel period of the year, since lots of Indiana schools start in end of July, and October/Fall Break is the only vacation period in between that and Thanksgiving near the end of November (discounting one-off Labor Day).
At least from the Midwest, G4/WN/NK/SY flex up their schedules significantly to "Sun" destinations.
