What does cambiar de aires mean?
Expression
a change of scene
Getting out of where you are because the atmosphere has worn you down, not because anything serious has happened. It works for a job, a city or a whole life. Built into it is the idea that the problem is not you but the air you are breathing, which is why it is a kind way of advising somebody to leave.
