This is the second year TripIndex has named the south as the top region for travelers looking for deals. New Orleans scored in the top four of the ten most affordable U.S. destinations, along with Dallas, Atlanta, and Orlando. Based on a nights stay, dinner for two, drinks, and a taxi ride, the four cities averaged between $ 283 and $ 309.
