Holy Airline Bookings Batman! Are Americans Ditching the USA for Europe!?

Allllrighty Then! A Travel Mystery Unfolds

Greetings Earthlings! Ace Ventura Pet Detective now moonlighting as a travel guru is on the case! Seems a bunch of folks are doing the 'yakity yak don't talk back' thing... to America! Caroline Smith from Jersey and her brood bumped into like half her town in Italy! Italy people! Not the Jersey Shore! What in the wide wide world of sports is going on here!?

U.S.A. No Way! Foreigners Say 'Hasta la Vista Baby'

Hold the phone folks! Numbers don't lie... unless you're a bad mime! Foreign visitors are dropping like flies – almost 10% less by air in March! That's like a whole lotta people saying 'no thanks' to the land of the free and the home of the brave. Did somebody order a side of 'yikes' with their freedom fries!?

American Adventure: Europe Here We Come!

But wait! There's more! While foreigners are running for the hills (or you know their home countries) Americans are screaming 'I'm going to Miami!'... wait no scratch that. They're screaming 'I'm going to Europe!' Up 22% since 2019! That's more than my hair volume on a good day! What gives!? Is it the food! The culture! Or maybe... just maybe... is it something else!?

Trade Wars and Travel Woes: Could Trump Be To Blame!?

Could it be a certain someone's... let's just say... *unique* diplomatic style? Trade wars! Detention dramas! Rhetoric about taking over Canada! (Canada!?) It's enough to make a penguin wear a parka! According to some high falutin' types this could shave off 0.1% from the GDP. 0.1%! That's almost as much as my brainpower on a Monday morning!

United and Delta sing the Blues!

Even the big airlines are feeling the pinch. United and Delta are seeing fewer bookings from Europe and Canada! Oh the humanity! But fear not fellow travelers! American wanderlust is saving the day... for now. They're cutting back on domestic flights because the lure of croissants and ancient ruins is too strong! Smart move.

Baby Boomers Are Cashing Out

So who's footing the bill for all this globetrotting? Baby Boomers baby! They're rolling in dough and realize their time is limited! Time to see the world before... well you know. They're buying up those fancy first class seats like they're going out of style! Which let's face it they probably will... eventually.
