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.
Bruh. It’s likely to be never. We aren’t recovering from this.
But the countries that come after what used to be the USA might be nice.
Yeah the Indepedent Republic of California would be a nice place to visit after they deport all of the the ICE goons.
I live in Canada. I used to visit the States probably every other year. Then Trump was elected in 2016, and I stopped going. Then covid happened, so I figured I’d wait a bit longer. And now it’ll be another 3 years until I even consider it, but that largely depends on what happens in that time span. It’s not out of the question to just never visit again. There are plenty of other places in the world that I haven’t seen yet.
