The increase of intra-Europe travel by air has played its part in displacing travel to the US, but that's not all of it. Stories about being haraSSSSed at US airports, about DHS/CBP interactions and other such things plays a role in the decline too. Without the cheap Bush peso the number of British visitors would be down substantially more than they are.
