20 April 2007 Cheap US flights 'still available despite popularity'
Britons planning on using some of their annual travel insurance allowance on a shopping trip to the US have been informed that despite their popularity, cheap flights should still be widely available for holidays this summer.
The Association of British Travel Agents (Abta) notes that the weakness of the dollar against the pound that may inspire Britons to head to New York or other US cities for a shopping holiday will also make it more expensive for Americans to visit the UK.
As both populations will be using the same airlines, a drop in the level of US travellers will result in increased availability for British travellers.
Sean Tipton, a spokesperson at the association, said: "Even if more Brits visit the US - which usually means that airports put their prices up - the Americans aren't coming over so airlines will keep their prices at the same level."
He added that New York, Florida and especially Las Vegas are the destinations of choice for UK holidaymakers.
Earlier this year, multi trip insurance provider Barclays reported that Las Vegas, Verbier and Phuket are the holiday destinations where Britons tend to spend the most money when abroad.
