admin In an era where wanderlust prevails, British Airways unveils the results of a recent survey that hints at a surge in American travel aspirations for 2024.
Soaring Aspirations: A Glimpse into American Travel Dreams
Over a quarter of Americans are gearing up for unprecedented travel, with 34% earmarking 2024 as the year to check off new destinations from their bucket lists. In the wake of the pandemic, almost two-thirds of respondents express a heightened resolve to travel more.
The survey reveals Europe as the preferred destination for 67% of Americans in the upcoming year, with film and TV locations significantly influencing travel plans (22%). Contrastingly, only one in five Canadians is committed to increasing travel in 2024, attributing social media as their primary travel influencer (27%).
Wings of Opportunity: British Airways’ Black Friday Vacation Extravaganza
To catalyse these travel dreams, British Airways launches a compelling Black Friday vacation sale, offering savings of up to $600. As part of this offer, round-trip flights and hotel packages to enticing destinations, including London and Barcelona, are available at remarkably discounted rates. The sale, ending on November 28, presents an opportune moment for Americans to turn their travel aspirations into reality.
Colm Lacy, Chief Commercial Officer at British Airways, underscores the thrill of vacation planning and highlights the diverse options for American travellers, given the airline’s direct flights from 26 US cities. The Black Friday sale aligns seamlessly with the desire for dream trips, emphasising the company’s commitment to delivering outstanding travel experiences.
Journey Beyond: Unveiling Deeper Travel Motivations
The survey delves deeper into travel motivations, revealing a focus on wellbeing, with 39% of Americans prioritising relaxation and unwinding. ‘Quality me time’ emerges as the top priority for the perfect vacation (34%). Additionally, 22% of Americans express a desire to break away from the ordinary in 2024, with over half (53%) inclined to explore ‘off the beaten track’ destinations. Environmental consciousness is a notable consideration, with 20% expressing an aspiration to travel more sustainably—an aspect aligning with British Airways’ commitment to sustainability through its BA Better World initiative.
As the airline caters to Thanksgiving travelers, a special onboard experience awaits with festive main courses and desserts on long-haul flights to and from the US. This Thanksgiving, British Airways not only extends warm wishes but also invites travelers to seize the moment, explore new horizons, and make 2024 a year of unforgettable journeys.
