This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
On 1 September it will be exactly four months until the New Year: 2023.
Who knows what the future might hold for our travel plans following two years blighted by Covid and the most recent summer hit by delays and cancellations when the beleaguered aviation industry struggled to cope with renewed demand?
But with the peak of school holidays over with, airlines and tour operators should hopefully find themselves back on a more even keel.
Off- and shoulder-season is a great time to get exploring – whether abroad or closer to home – with numerous destinations still warm into late September, the changing leaves painting a colourful backdrop for a trip, and lower prices and quieter attractions all offering added incentive.
