Travel Tips — Quick Reference
Planning a multi-city World Cup trip? Here are some key tips:
- Book accommodation 12–18 months in advance — hotel prices in host cities will be significantly elevated during the tournament
- Consider buying a pass for multiple matches rather than booking individual games
- Flying between US cities on budget carriers (Southwest, Spirit, Frontier) can save significant money
- Mexico City and Guadalajara are best connected by direct flights from US cities
- Vancouver and Toronto are best connected to US cities via cross-border coaches as well as flights
