Brexit crashes prices for flights from the USA to the UK

Prices for flights from the United States to the UK fell to a record low in the last three years as a result of a positive vote by the British in a referendum on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.

Many airlines have reduced prices for flights from the US to the UK and back before the vote, adding additional discounts after the British supported the idea of ​​leaving the EU, writes CNN.

The best prices, according to the Hopper app, were between June 28 and July 6. Prices have risen slightly since then, but discounts are still in effect and rates are much lower than they were in previous years.

“It’s rare to see discounts like this this time of year,” said Hopper employee Patrick Serry.

An additional reason for the fall in prices was the fact that recently the Americans have refrained from traveling to Europe because of the terrorist attacks in Belgium and France, as well as because of the crisis situation with refugees in the region.

“Prices have been falling gradually since the summer of 2014, but the British decision to leave the EU was the last straw,” Serry added.

Hopper data shows that two weeks after the referendum, airfare for flights from the United States to Britain decreased by 22% on flights by British Airways, by 23% for Finnair, and by 11% for United Airlines.

The latest Hopper data shows that the average cost of the flight in two directions between the United States and the United Kingdom is less than 800 dollars, which is significantly lower than the peak value of 1 200 dollars in May 2014.

In addition, the price of flights has decreased due to cheap oil, the cost of which has fallen by half since 2014.
