When to book your flights
- Best window: December 2025 – March 2026 — 3–6 months out, before tournament demand peaks
- Have match tickets first — book flights once your specific match dates are confirmed. Flexible fares are worth the premium.
- Prices spike after the group draw — once fans know which teams are playing where, demand for specific cities surges.
- Check alternate airports — for New York, EWR is often cheaper than JFK. For LA, check LAX vs. Burbank (BUR) or Long Beach (LGB).

Flying to Mexico (Guadalajara)

- From Vancouver: ~6–7 hrs via Mexico City or Los Angeles
- Book early — Guadalajara is underserved from Canada and seats sell out fast for events
