Travel to the good ol USA

[Pacemaker]

For over 15 years when travelling to or through the US i have been subject of “secondary” checks by the authorities, i think i know why (I don’t have any convictions/arrests/political affiliations) as a result i have avoided travelling there for the last 5 or 6 years.

Was recently booking a S American holiday and with the current regime decided there is no way i am going through the states so i have paid a higher fare to avoid the US.

Do you think ordinary people are avoiding travelling to the states and if so will they ever recover or is it just paranoid old blokes like me?

There is data which backs up the theory of less people travelling to the US for vacation, hardly surprising given the strength of the Dollar and loon in charge of the country.

I’ve no idea what’s going on with S.American air fairs from the UK. My last few tickets to Brazil have been extortionate and next months is as well.

I know the Canadians have an obvious reason not to travel at the moment as some sort of small push back against the 51st state comments, but wondered if Brits were still looking to go on holidays there or putting things off for a while.

The Canadian “Snowbirds” travel in huge numbers during the winter normally but have apparently cancelled in large numbers.

There are a few on here who have commented that they intend to avoid the US, and speaking for ourselves we have shelved an idea to make a road trip up the coast from Boston.

We’ve been to the US about a dozen times over the last 30 years or so. Mainly road trips and visiting friends.
Not going there at the moment and for the foreseeable future. Going to the Canadian Maritimes next summer instead.

I know Vegas has suffered from lots of people from Canada cancelling their regular trips.
