Sports Vacations in North America for Latin American Fans
Sporting vacations made smoother
If you're someone who chases the roar of a stadium over sunsets or culinary journeys, it's probably no surprise to you that more travellers are planning sports vacations around their dream sporting events.
“Sport is becoming a powerful driver of travel demand. Increasingly, it’s the experience itself that inspires the journey, rather than the destination,” says Todd Hancock, chief commercial officer at Collinson International.
As part of our new, always-on Sports, Arts and Fashion event series, we’ve curated a selection of highlights on North America’s sporting calendar – from world-class tennis and international football to championship golf.
If you’re a Latin American sports fan with North America on your radar, don’t let a long-haul trip deter you. With a solid game plan and Priority Pass on your team, the journey becomes just as rewarding as the event itself.
Follow the action
There’s a compelling case for turning a single sporting event into a multi-city adventure through August and September.
Kick off with the Leagues Cup, the club football tournament that unites Major League Soccer and Liga MX sides at stadiums across North America from early August — a competition that has become one of the most emotionally charged fixtures on the continental calendar.
Move on to the Tour Championship in Atlanta, Georgia (27 to 30 August), where the season’s top 30 players compete in the PGA Tour’s season finale. Expect a tightly contested, high-pressure conclusion to the PGA Tour season that rewards patience, precision and nerve.
Finally, arrive in New York for the main act: the US Open tennis championship, the most attended Grand Slam on the tennis calendar, running from 23 August to 13 September. Courts at Flushing Meadows crackle with anticipation, fuelled in no small part by the fervour of Latin American fans, with every match feeling capable of producing something remarkable.
If you’re transiting through Miami International Airport – the gateway to many a sporting adventure – slow down and regroup at the Turkish Airlines Lounge for a couple of hours. Fuel up, rest and arrive at your destination ready for action.
Plan for a rematch
By the end of your trip, emotions will be running high, but your energy may be dipping. Now is the time to smooth the way for a gentle journey home and re-entry into real life.
Priority Pass lounges offer the ideal space to decompress: to scroll back through the photographs, replay the moments worth keeping and let the adrenaline of the experience settle. And if the spirit moves you, to begin planning the next one. The biggest sporting fixtures sell out fast and reward early commitment – a few quiet hours in a lounge is a good time to dream and plan in equal measure.
The journey between Latin America and North America is long, but for serious sports fans, it’s not a burden – it’s a measure of how much the destination matters. Wherever your love of the game takes you next, Priority Pass helps make your sports vacation as memorable as the event itself.
