Star Alliance member United Airlines is offering a deal from Tenerife to the USA starting at €355. This deal doesn’t include checked luggage on the Basic Economy fare, but you can upgrade to Economy, which includes 23kg checked luggage and seat selection for an extra €120. Departures are available between October 2024 and April 2025 with blackout dates in December.
These destinations are available for less than €450:
- Chicago at €355
- Washington, DC at €356
- Boston at €366
- San Francisco at €396
- New York at €433 (non-stop)
You can also find non-stop flights from New York to Tenerife starting at just US$510 (~€434)
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to United or Skyscanner with your selected flight dates.
United flies from Tenerife South to Newark with Boeing 757 aircraft, featuring 3-3 seating in economy and personal in-flight entertainment for everyone. From there, you can connect with the United Airlines domestic network.
Most Europeans need an electronic system for travel authorization (ESTA) to enter the USA for up to 90 days. This costs US$21 (~€19) and you should apply for it a couple of days before your trip, at the latest.
There are some cases where you cannot apply for an ESTA, e.g. if you’ve been to Cuba since 2021 or to Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, or North Korea since March 2011. In those cases, you’ll need to get a visa from a US embassy or consulate, which can take multiple weeks.
Search & Book
Tickets at this fare are on sale until September 23, 2024. You need to stay a Saturday overnight stay to get the lowest fare and your maximum stay is capped at three months. Departures are available between October 2024 and April 2025 with blackout dates in December.
You can find additional flights dates on Google Flights (instructions). We recommend booking tickets directly from United’s website.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Destination
Information & Tips for USA
The United States offers a wide range of tourist sights, from national parks like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon to cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. The currency is the U.S. dollar (USD), and card payments are widely accepted. Prices vary by region but can be high in major cities, especially for accommodation and dining. Weather differs greatly across the country—winters can be harsh in the north, while the south often stays mild; summers are generally hot and humid in many areas.
The U.S. transport infrastructure is highly car-dependent, especially outside major cities. Urban centres like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco have functional public transit, but many other cities have limited options. Between cities, domestic flights are common for long distances, while intercity buses and Amtrak trains cover some routes, though often with slower speeds and less frequency compared to other countries. Without a car, getting around can be inconvenient in many parts of the country.
