America is on sale this summer. The 2026 World Cup taking place across the US (as well as some matches in Mexico and Canada). But the expected surge of visitors does not look like materialising. Airlines and hotels are cutting prices to try to stimulate demand.
Later in the summer, peak tourist season also looks affordable. From London Heathrow to Boston on 1 August for a fortnight, British Airways is selling tickets for only £682 return. The catch is: when you touch down, things may be rather different from your last visit.
