Transatlantic airfares have dropped to rates last seen before the pandemic, data shows, the latest sign that fewer Europeans are traveling to the U.S. due to concerns about U.S. border controls and Donald Trump’s policies.
The trend could extend into and beyond the summer holiday period, typically the busiest time for airlines and travel companies.
Overseas arrivals to the United States fell 2.8% in May from a year ago, according to preliminary data from the U.S. National Travel and Tourism Office within the U.S. Department of Commerce. Travel from Western Europe fell 4.4% in May, led by a decline in travelers from Denmark and Germany.
I wanted to go to the US since the eighties but I couldn’t afford it back then. By the time I could afford it, 9/11 had rolled around together with the suspension of civil rights and all the associated insanity. Then I thought I’d wait for sanity to return. I’m still waiting and I’m getting increasingly pessimistic I’ll live to see that.
Why would you want to go to the US?
There are so many excellent reasons to visit the US… just not necessarily right now.
Our cities are fun to explore and have great restaurants and museums. Most need a car to explore, unfortunately, but some don’t. Our nature is honestly amazing. From forests to deserts to mountains to beaches to lakes and rivers. Yes, other places have some of those, but not many countries have all of those.
There’s trash everywhere in the nature areas.
What nature areas are you going to? The US sucks for a lot of reasons you can pick from. No need to make stuff up too
Go to any national or state park, guaranteed trash everywhere.
Tell me you’ve never been to a national park without telling me you’ve never been to a national park 😂
Of all the opportunities I’ve had to tell someone to touch grass this one is the most fitting. Fam I’m sorry you’ve forgotten to go outside but self care is important and I think you could benefit from touching grass
I’ve been to 3 in the last year. Sounds like you haven’t been to any lately.
There’s some cool nature there I’d like to see, so that’s one reason
Come to Canada. We have cool nature too but without the risk of being detained for no reason.
