There has not been a better time all year for Britons to travel to the US. The pound is the strongest it’s been all summer and lack of tourists has brought prices down in the US. Airlines are dropping prices and offering deals that were unheard of at this time last year.
The pound has increased by 30 cents just this week alone. At the time of this posting it’s at $1.67 and rising. The falling prices and the rising pound have combined into a perfect storm making the US almost 25% cheaper than it was at the beginning of the year.
One aggressive tour operator, Jetsave, who has been in business for 30 years and specializes in Florida vacations, was offering up an entire 14 night holiday break in Orlando for two that included a room at the Continental Plaza Hotel, return airfare on Virgin Atlantic, and a Chevrolet Aveo rental car for just £575 per person.
“Reports this week show that the pound is at a 10 month high against the dollar and with the high rate of the euro, travel to the US is seeming more appealing. Holidaymakers can also save on their travel costs, with many operators slashing prices.” commented a spokesperson for Jetsave.
Besides that, airlines are offering up end of the summer deals reportedly as low as £216 for a round trip ticket to New York.
