Allianz Partners USA gathered the data by analyzing the number of customers who went through the online booking process of airfare and package paths for partners offering Allianz Global Assistance travel insurance. The itineraries for round-trip flights departing from U.S. airports were analyzed, specifically for trips between 5 and 8 days in length, from May 22, 2024, to September 2, 2024. The total number of itineraries analyzed using this methodology was just under seven million.
The data indicates a growing trend among U.S. travelers to explore European destinations during the summer months. The increase in travel to these destinations could be attributed to a variety of factors, including favorable travel conditions and cultural interest.
