CLOCKING OUT: Americans are passing on London — big time/britannica.com

Welcome to the American Revolution version 2.0, baby! London is becoming less and less attractive to American tourists exercising their self-evident, unalienable right to pursue happiness, according to data provided by travel search engine Cheapflights.com.
