USA feeling the pinch ...
US air fares and hotel rates slump one month ahead of World Cup kick-off
Football fan or not, travel to the US during the 2026 Men’s World Cup is getting cheaper by the day. One month ahead of the Fifa tournament – which is also being hosted by Canada and Mexico – The Independent has found air fares at well below normal summer levels. Hotel rates are sinking, too.
Travellers who have no interest in the football tournament can benefit from soft demand that has been attributed to tougher border controls and geopolitical uncertainty.
"Oh dear. What a pity."
