Expedia's fall travel forecast shows a significant increase in requests for fall flights, which has already exceeded 15% compared to last year.

Planning a trip or move abroad? An important part of a successful trip is an insurance policy, as it guarantees high-quality medical care anywhere in the world and can protect you from unnecessary expenses while travelling.  You can buy insurance from trusted agents on the Visit World portal. 

London, United Kingdom

London offers a wide range of flights thanks to its 6 airports, allowing you to find affordable options. Fall airfares will be 35% lower than in summer, with an average cost of only $677 for both directions. This gives you the opportunity to save about $364, which you can spend on better accommodation. 

Stay in a luxury boutique hotel, such as The Adria, located in a 19th century townhouse in elegant South Kensington, or choose The Goring, a favorite of the royal family, located next to Buckingham Palace and featuring one of the largest private gardens in London.

Portland, USA

Portland attracts tourists with its craft breweries, vibrant food scene, and Willamette Valley wines. In the fall, you can fly to Portland cheaply: the average airfare is $145 less than in the summer, according to Hopper. 

Thanks to the mild climate, you can enjoy the natural wonders of the region during your fall trip. Visit Silver Falls State Park, an hour's drive from the city, where you can see waterfalls and hike in varying degrees of difficulty. A bike ride among the lush forests and grand views of the Columbia River Gorge is also recommended.

Los Angeles, USA

Los Angeles is a city of sun, surfing, and activities. You can start exploring the city with classic places, such as a walk by Lake Hollywood or a visit to the Getty Center. 

In the fall, airfares to Los Angeles are much cheaper - 40% cheaper than in the summer, and cost an average of $179 roundtrip. This means you'll have more money left over to visit local restaurants, museums, or shop in Beverly Hills. Los Angeles in the fall offers ideal travel conditions with great opportunities for entertainment and recreation.

Paris, France

While many tourists are eager to see Paris in the spring, fall is also a great time to visit. Those who come in the fall will be able to enjoy smaller crowds, gardens with colorful foliage, and significantly lower prices. 

According to Hopper, prices for flights to Paris will drop significantly in the fall. The average round-trip airfare in the fall is $684, which is 41% cheaper compared to summer prices, which were $470 more expensive. 

When visiting Paris, enjoy a martini at the historic Hemingway Bar at the Ritz Paris, admire contemporary art at the Pompidou Center, or stroll along the banks of the Seine to discover the beauty of this unique city.

Tokyo, Japan

After the opening of the visa-free regime in October 2022, tourists flocked to Japan in droves, causing prices and crowds to rise. Fortunately, in the fall season, both decrease, and airfares become 25% lower compared to summer. The average cost of a round-trip flight in the fall is only $1172. There are many ways to use these savings in Tokyo, as the city is rich in restaurants, bars, museums, and shops to suit every taste.

Although the spring cherry blossoms attract many tourists, the fall foliage in Japan is no less colorful. Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the vibrant autumn colors at the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a Tokyo botanical park featuring traditional Japanese gardens.
