Everyone is looking to leave the country this summer.
Delta Air Lines has released its second annual list of the most-searched summer travel destinations for 2024 — and the most in-demand spots are international.
According to Delta search data in the US from Nov. 1, 2023, to March 18, 2024, for travel between May and August 2024, the top 10 list had numerous unsurprising tourist destinations — but also some more unique spots topping the chart.
London, Paris and Rome are the always-popular destinations that topped the list again this year, while Dublin, Barcelona and Vancouver, Canada, were newly in demand.
Searches for all of the top 10 international destinations increased more than 150% from 2023 — but one stood out more than the rest.
Athens, Greece, had the biggest surge in interest, with a whopping 248% increase in searches compared to last year.
Though the Greek city still came in at fourth place overall, it had a significantly higher surge than all the other destinations compared to 2023.
Here is the full list of Delta’s 2024 most-searched summer destinations:
- London, England
- Paris, France
- Rome, Italy
- Athens, Greece
- Cancun, Mexico
- Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Tokyo, Japan
- Dublin, Ireland
- Barcelona, Spain
- Vancouver, Canada
Meanwhile, when it comes to domestic travel, the most-searched destinations — with the exception of Delta Hubs — included Las Vegas, Orlando, Miami and Honolulu, which Delta suggests is due to an interest in “sun-drenched getaways” and major summer sporting events.
