The supporters can hop on the Amtrak train to New York on Wednesday, 24 June with tickets \u00a342 each. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Unlike in Boston, there are still lots of hotel options in New York with a five-night stay before the flight home on 29 June. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A double at the Truss Hotel Times Square costs \u00a31,184 (\u00a3237 a night) while a twin at the AMTD Idea Tribeca Hotel is \u00a31,275 (\u00a3255 a night).<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">This time, however, you will need to head out for breakfast. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But the last two games come with a sting &#8211; train tickets to the stadiums cost \u00a359 per person from Boston and \u00a3114 from New York.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Just to get to the States and travel around, the estimated costs for two friends are \u00a36,273 and for a couple \u00a35,855.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">And what of the family? It is going to cost \u00a39,008 to get to the States, get around and put your heads down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Costs are helped by some hotels offering free stays for children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In Dallas, the Comfort Inn Dallas Medical-Market Center costs \u00a3627 (\u00a3156 a night).<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The same Hampton Inn is used in Boston with a higher cost of \u00a31,763 (\u00a3353 a night).<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Over in New York, the Holiday Inn in Times Square costs \u00a31,589 (\u00a3318 a night).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Our two England fans fly out of Heathrow on Monday, 15 June with return flights to JFK in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":644841,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-644840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/644840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=644840"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/644840\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/644841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=644840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=644840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=644840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
