Planning insight
This World Cup isn’t one trip.
It’s a chain of decisions.
One mistake doesn’t ruin the trip.
The accumulation does.

The World Cup isn’t complicated because of football. It’s complicated because everything moves - cities, borders, prices, crowds.
It's not one country.
It's North America.
