    Brits to Yanks - Come and Visit

    Filed under: Airfare Sales, Europe — Rick Seaney @ 5:06 pm

    No surprise here: the number of Americans visiting the United Kingdom this past summer was down - down a brutal 21% from the summer before.

    Of course, this summer the pound was strong, and the dollar was weak. But things are changing.

    The British currency has now lost about a quarter of its value against the dollar - due to the economic crisis - and people who make their living off tourists overseas are hoping that’ll entice Americans back to Britain.

    Unfortunately, that same economic crisis has hit the U.S. (and everywhere else), and it remains to be seen if American travelers feel flush enough for an overseas jaunt. But, there are deals: several airlines are featuring winter sales to Europe and there are even bargains on business class airfare to Europe.

    See all the sales on our Deals page, and our First Class blog.
