Trump says he’s reopening Venezuelan airspace and Americans may visit

President Trump Announces Venezuelan Airspace Reopening — I Could Soon Visit Venezuela and See Its Currency in Person

President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will reopen commercial airspace over Venezuela, a major shift that means American travelers will soon be able to visit the country again after years of restrictions. (AP News)

Trump said the decision to reopen Venezuelan airspace for commercial flights came after discussions with Venezuela’s interim leadership, and that American citizens will “very shortly be able to go to Venezuela, and they’ll be safe there.” (The Washington Post) Airlines like American Airlines are already preparing to resume service between the U.S. and Venezuela, potentially reconnecting cities such as Miami and Caracas in the coming months.

For me, this means I could actually plan a trip to Venezuela, not just read about it. I’ve long been curious to experience the country’s unique culture, landscapes, and especially its currency exchange firsthand — seeing how the bolívar is used in everyday life and how prices and money flow feel on the ground.

If all indications stay positive and the travel situation continues improving, Sandy could be joining me on a visit to Venezuela later this year. It’s an exciting new chapter for travel between the U.S. and Venezuela — one that could finally let people like us explore the country in person after so many years of limited access.

Just one note of caution: even as airspace opens, the U.S. State Department may still maintain travel advisories for Venezuela, so it’s important to follow guidance and plan carefully before booking flights. (AP News)
