Travel: Departures - US goal rush
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE ABSENCE of all four British teams from the World Cup has not cut demand for flights across the Atlantic. Indeed, between now and the end of the competition on 17 July, discount tickets to the US are thin on the ground.
'The end of June is extremely busy,' said Martin Bedford of Quest Worldwide (081-547 3322), 'so anyone heading for America can't be too choosy.' The traditional low-cost carriers, Air India and Kuwait Airways, are virtually sold out on the London- New York route until July, and bookings are strong on all transatlantic airlines for the rest of the summer.
One bright spot is San Francisco (the venue for some of the soccer matches), where substantially increased competition on flights from London has kept fares low.
