Who is going to the USA, who has changed their travel and what will you do differently?

I've just pulled the trigger and grabbed a CR in J for next year.
Thanks to all those who have curtailed their US travel plans for me to take advantage.

I hope you opted for SYD-LAX on an A330 - anything else is likely to be cancelled by then due to lack of demand

Plenty of demand coming the other way however!

We might see that decline over the coming months. Seems outbound US transatlantic tourism might also be on the decline with comments from airlines like VS.

Australia's a very expensive place to visit, and the increase-rate of US cost-of-living has been made a appreciably larger by these financial shenanigans ... and the intention appears to be to continue applying the instability, which won't help with inflation/cost-of-living at all.

@moderators should we spin out a separate thread about US tariffs affecting airbus / Boeing etc? There was a bit kd discussion in the earlier pages.

Seems I'm reading that China Southern was going to put their whole b787-8 fleet on sale and transition to 787-9 (maybe 787-10) but has since halted this as they're now uncertain about receiving deliveries.

@elanshin , I think best to report any relevant post and suggest the split-off.

Bits of this are being discussed in other threads, but I was wondering how many of us are reconsidering USA for travel and why.
The US is massive with so much to see and individually most people are friendly and proud of the good things their country does.
If you are deciding not to travel there at the moment is it because of

Yes. As in this thread with political comments

Thread 'Airfares to US to drop?'

Mar 18, 2025

The speed of change in US immigration posture (ICE hv detained/deported tourists/legal residents, universities advising oseas students to consider staying in US/not going home on hols) and the general anti-Trump vibe make me wonder if current Aus/USA airfares are about to face a revision. Doesnt bother me, I'm not going over there (and I'm not making a comment on the US, they can do what they want) but there are lots of media and SM stories to say tourism to the US is on the nose. Views ?
