Americans fascinated with Royal Wedding, but most will watch from afar reveals Skyscanner

EDINBURGH, Scotland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Since its announcement, talk of the Royal wedding has filled the pages and screens of U.S media, but travel comparison site Skyscanner.com reveals that the overwhelming interest is not translating in to travel, leaving most Americans to watch from home.

In a comparison of travel searches pre and post wedding announcement, Skyscanner found that Americans rank low on the list with only a slight increase in flights to London. With so many Americans watching from home, Skyscanner has compiled a list of hot spots to watch the much-anticipated royal celebration.
