Miami International is a major hub for Latin American connections — ideal for South American fans. Fort Lauderdale (FLL) is a cheaper alternative just 30 miles north.

New York

JFK / EWR

MetLife Stadium is in New Jersey — EWR may actually be closer to the venue. JFK offers more international routes. LGA is fine for domestic. Compare all three before booking.

Smart Travel

Pick the Right Airport

The cheapest flight isn't always the best one. Choosing the right airport can save you time, money, and a lot of match-day stress.

✦ Check Nearby Airports First

Major cities often have 2–3 airports within 60 minutes of the stadium. A smaller regional airport can save you hundreds — especially if the main hub is overcrowded during the tournament.

Always compare the total cost including ground transport to your hotel, not just the ticket price.

✈️ LA Airport Alternatives

Los Angeles International (LAX) is a behemoth. During World Cup season, consider these alternatives for faster access and lower fares:

  • BUR — Burbank/Hollywood (North LA)
  • LGB — Long Beach (South LA)
  • SNA — John Wayne, Orange County
  • ONT — Ontario International (Inland)

🗽 New York Airport Guide

New York has three major airports — each serving different parts of the metro area. MetLife Stadium is in New Jersey, so EWR may be your best bet.

  • JFK — Queens (most international flights)
  • EWR — Newark (closest to MetLife)
  • LGA — LaGuardia (domestic flights only)

Global Visitors

Flying In From Outside
North America?

The World Cup draws fans from every corner of the globe. Here's what international travellers need to know before booking flights to 2026.

📅

Book Early

International flights to World Cup cities start selling out 6–12 months in advance. Prices spike as match schedules are confirmed. Book as early as possible — refundable options are available.

🛂

Check Visa Requirements

The USA, Canada, and Mexico each have separate entry requirements. Visitors from many countries need a travel visa or ESTA. Check requirements for all three countries before finalising your route.

🗺️

Consider Multi-City Tickets

Fly into one host city and out of another to see multiple matches. An open-jaw ticket (fly into LA, out of New York) can actually cost the same or less than a return and unlocks a full road trip experience.

🔗

Hub and Connect Strategy

Flying via a major hub (Miami, New York, LA, Toronto) can unlock cheaper fares on connecting routes to Dallas, Houston, or Vancouver. Compare direct vs. one-stop options carefully.

The most common World Cup travel mistake: booking a hotel in one zone and a flight that lands in a completely different part of the city. Match your arrival airport to your hotel zone from the start.

💡 Pro Tip: Match Your Airport to Your Hotel Zone

In Los Angeles, fans staying in Santa Monica should consider using LAX, while those staying in Burbank or North Hollywood might find BUR more convenient. In New York, staying in Jersey City? EWR will save you an hour each way versus JFK. The small decisions compound into major time and cost savings across a week-long World Cup trip.

Common Questions

Flight FAQ

Book as early as possible — ideally 6–12 months in advance for international routes and 3–6 months for domestic. Prices rise sharply once match schedules are announced and ticket allocation is confirmed. Start with refundable fares so you can adjust if your match assignment changes.
LAX is the main international gateway and has the most flight options. However, if you're staying in North LA (Hollywood, Burbank, Glendale), Burbank Airport (BUR) saves considerable time. For South Bay or beach areas near Inglewood, LAX is your best option. LGB suits Long Beach and South LA. SNA and ONT work well if you're staying in Orange County or the Inland Empire.
Absolutely — and it's a great strategy. An open-jaw ticket (e.g. fly into Miami, fly out of Dallas) lets you follow your team across multiple venues without backtracking. These tickets are sometimes the same price as a return flight and open up incredible multi-city road trip options. Search for open-jaw and multi-city options when comparing fares.
Flying the day before your match (instead of match day) and leaving the day after can save you 20–40% on flights and hotels combined. Match-day prices for both accommodation and transport surge dramatically. If your schedule allows, build a buffer day on either end of your trip — you'll save money and enjoy the city with less stress.
For US cities: Delta, United, American, and Southwest offer extensive domestic networks. For international routes into LA and Miami: American, British Airways, Iberia, LATAM, and Avianca have strong coverage. For Mexico City: Aeromexico, Volaris, and Vivaaerobus are the main domestic carriers. For Toronto and Vancouver: Air Canada is the dominant carrier, with WestJet for budget domestic options.
