The anticipated surge in travel demand across Europe this summer, driven by high-profile events like Taylor Swift's Eras Tour and the Summer Olympic Games, alongside the usual allure of European summers, is expected to result in increased prices and challenging flight and hotel availability.
Several indicators suggest that the travel demand to Europe this summer will be unprecedented. Airlines have launched numerous new routes across the Atlantic and increased the frequency of existing ones in preparation for the surge. American Airlines, United, JetBlue, and others have expanded their offerings, reflecting the confidence in filling these flights with high-paying customers. However, the prices for these seasonal routes, sometimes exceeding $1,500 for an economy flight, can be daunting.
If you're determined to have a Euro summer during what could be the busiest travel season ever, these tips and tricks are designed to help you save.
