The FIFA World Cup begins today, June 11, and the host cities across North America are expected to see an influx of travelers through July 19, when the tournament concludes. Travelers flying to or through the host cities, including Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Mexico City, New York/New Jersey, and Toronto, should arrive at the airport early and expect longer check-in and security lines.
Flight, hotel, and transportation costs are also expected to increase in host cities due to the ongoing tournament. It is recommended to book travel in advance and avoid traveling to the host cities on match days.
