Summer is about to get really exciting, especially for North Americans. For the first time, the US, Mexico, and Canada are coming together to host the world’s biggest sporting event – FIFA. If you’re planning to watch it live instead of on a screen this time and have scored the tickets, now’s the time to lock in your flights and get the rest of your trip sorted.
Skyscanner is making it all incredibly easy (and affordable) today, and here’s why.
Cheapest Flights and Hotels
Skyscanner is known for finding you the cheapest flight deals, hotels, and car rentals by scanning over 1,200 partners. It does so year-round, but the platform is now also offering some additional handy tools designed specifically for the event.
You can simply enter the team you’re supporting, and Skyscanner will pull up a list of all its upcoming matches along with their locations, plus options to find affordable flights within seconds. You can even compare different routes and create a multi-city trip if you want to follow your team across matches. On top of that, the platform has created helpful playbooks for game-day travel with detailed information on entry checks, tipping standards in different locations, stadium bag eligibility, currencies, expected weather conditions, and more.
Once your tickets are secured, you can go ahead and start planning the rest. Skyscanner’s travel hub makes it easy to explore the host cities, book hotels, and rent cars for effortless travelling! There are some additional things to keep in mind if you want to save money on your trip. First, you don’t always have to go for the most obvious airport, as nearby or smaller ones can sometimes be cheaper. Similarly, it’s best to avoid weekend flights where possible since these are mostly high in demand, and can cost quite a bit more than those flying midweek. This is also where Skyscanner’s Whole Month Search feature can come in handy. It helps you find the cheapest days to fly during a given month, so you can easily pick a day that fits your budget.
It’s also best to set price alerts for the flights you’re eyeing. Skyscanner will notify you as soon as the airfare changes, so you can book at the right time. All in all, if you’re planning to watch your favorite team in person this time, Skyscanner makes the entire process of getting there easy. You’ll be able to see your favorite players in the field, explore host cities, and more – all while staying within budget.
