BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - March 2, 2010) - If all of the Red Carpet glitz of award season leaves you wanting more, more, more celebrity watching, then imagine coming face to face with top stars. Travel to the right places, and celebrity spotting can often become part of the adventure. Cheapflights.com has done the digging on where the stars vacation and found the deals to get your there too.
Boston: With so many movies being filmed here, you might walk onto a set without knowing it. Every movie brings sightings at local restaurants and bars, especially those in and near the Liberty Hotel. Or keep a lookout just walking down the street. Not long ago, Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise and daughter Suri were regulars in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood. See the scene for yourself with flights from Orlando, starting at $179.
Dubai: Quite literally a new hot spot, Dubai's dual appeal is its sunny, warm weather and the glamor of a fresh new city built as a sparkling playground. Though the pace of the boom has slowed, Dubai is still a celebrity draw for European and American sports, movie, music and business legends. In fact, many big names such as the Beckhams and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have enjoyed the shopping, sunshine and beaches so much they have snatched up real estate in this Middle East playground. Fly from New York for a Dubai getaway starting at $778.
Hawaii: Close to the west coast and yet far from the hustle and bustle, Hawaii was long been a getaway for the rich and famous. Paparazzi regularly capture the vacation antics of folks like Jennifer Aniston, John Stamos, Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, John Travolta, and others. Oprah did her own photo shoot, putting her home in Hana, Maui, on the cover of O Magazine. Now, throw Obama mania into the mix and the celebrity stock of Hawaii climbs even further. Check it out for yourself. Flights from San Francisco start at $350.
Miami: Two words: South Beach. Miami's art deco district is rich in every possible way.

London: The home of choice for those celebs with a taste for sophistication and elegance, London counts Gweneth Paltrow, Ewan McGregor, Madonna, Gillian Anderson, Tim Burton and Gwen Stefani as residents.

Add a little Royal watching and there's always someone to see. Find out for yourself. Flights from the east coast start at $479.
Los Angeles: The original land of stars, Los Angeles offers the traditional tours of Hollywood homes and sound stages. However, you don't have to be in the heart of movie land to see famous faces. Los Angeles is rife with hot spots, from Rodeo Drive to the latest clubs and even Disneyland. No parents get away without taking their kids to Disney and, with the celebrity baby boom, you never know who you will see at "It's a Small World."

New Orleans: No place is hipper now. Fresh off a Super Bowl win for the ages and with Brad Pitt personally guiding major rebuilding efforts, the City That Care Forgot is the place to be. With everything from Mardi Gras to JazzFest to movie premieres for the likes of the Blindside, New Orleans draws a steady stream of who's who, including Sandra Bullock, Jim Carrey, Jimmy Buffet, Harry Connick Jr., Lenny Kravitz and the next "Real World" cast. Join the party with flights for as little as $199 from Chicago.
New York: You don't have the read Page Six to know the names of many proud New Yorkers, such as Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker or Robert Di Niro. With a steady stream of fashion shows, premieres, political rallies, concerts and sports events, celebrities are just part of the scenery in the Big Apple. Locals pride themselves on being too cool to gawk, making the celebs feel less on stage. Can you play it cool too? Find out with flights from Detroit starting at $172.
St Barts: This Caribbean island is beautiful year round, so it's no surprise this is where the beautiful people hang out. A listers who visit this posh getaway, officially known as St. Barthelemy, include Kristin Davis, Avril Lavigne, Mick Jagger, Tom Hanks, Orlando Bloom, Mariah Carey, Beyonce and Jay-Z. The island is only eight square miles, so everyone is in close proximity. See who you can find on the beach or at the bar. Flights from Charlotte start at $588.
Turks & Caicos: These laid back Bahamian Islands are far away from the Hollywood scene, which may be why it's a favorite for celebs traveling with their families. Parents who have gotten a little R&R here include: Shaquille O'Neal, Jennie Garth & Peter Facinelli, Jenna Elfman, Joey Fatone and Vanna White. Romance is also in the air here, which is why both Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner and Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld honeymooned at Parrot Cay. The casual atmosphere means a chance to see celebs up close and personal. Just remember they are on vacation too. Give winter the day off and relax in the sun like the stars do. Fly from Boston for $457.
