The Honolulu airport came out on top of Hopper Research's analysis of winter flight delays at the country's busiest airports, with just 14% of its flights being delayed. And once you land here, you can head to TripAdvisor's No. 1 U.S. beach, Oahu's Lanakai Beach.

2. Miami —
Once you land at Miami International Airport, why not head to the beach for some fun in the sun? Winter looks good in Florida.

3. Seattle —
Despite the rain, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport comes in third place. We love visiting Pike Place Market, home to more than 200 independent shops, including flower and butcher shops, seafood restaurants and bakeries.

4. Phoenix —
Though there's plenty to enjoy in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, we're heading to Sedona for some hiking time followed by some spa time. Head to these amazing red sandstone formations for a day hike and at sunset to see the sandstone glow.

5. Detroit —
Detroit in winter, you say? Why not? The American city built by the American auto industry and put through the wringer in an extraordinarily difficult bankruptcy has many sites worth seeing. One of our favorites is the Heidelberg Project, an extraordinary collection of of outdoor art build over three decades on Detroit's East Side.

Seriously, Detroit —
Once you've seen the Heidelberg Project in Detroit, head to Zingerman's in Ann Arbor for a classic Reuben sandwich.
