Oneworld member British Airways is selling cheap tickets from Dublin to Miami and Chicago. These flights cost €328 if British Airways’ generous hand luggage allowance (you can bring up to 23 kg of hand luggage, but good luck fitting that much weight in your carry-on) is enough for you, and €428 if you want to travel with checked baggage. It’s also possible to fly with American Airlines (with free luggage for Oneworld status holders).
Our calendar displays all available dates for trips of up to 28 days for both routes. You can either be redirected to British Airways or American Airlines, depending on which airline you prefer to fly with:
From Dublin, you’ll first fly to London onboard an Airbus A320neo. Then, British Airways will use an Airbus A380 for its flight to Miami. If you’re flying to Chicago, you’ll either be seated in a British Airways Boeing 777 or Airbus A350.
It is also possible to fly with other Oneworld partners, such as American Airlines (either via London or Philadelphia, and sometimes even non-stop) and Iberia (via Madrid). This is a good option for Oneworld frequent flyers, as those 2 airlines offer free checked baggage to status holders. For status-less people, however, British Airways should be a better choice than Iberia, as their hand luggage allowance is more generous: a carry-on and a small bag, both weighing up to 23 kg.
Search & Book
This deal is valid for flights before March 14, 2024, as long as you spend at least 6 days (or a Sunday) in the US and book the flights at least 7 days before departure.

Information & Tips for USA
The USA offers many sights, natural wonders and cultural significance. Thanks to numerous airlines offering flights across the Atlantic, it is always pretty inexpensive to get there. Alternatively, you can also cross the Atlantic by boat.
Immigration, ESTA & Visa Requirements
The USA has one of the strictest entry regulations in the world. Most EU citizens, among others, are lucky to be able to participate in the so-called Visa Waiver Program. If you get an electronic entry permit (ESTA) for approximately €20, you don’t need a visa for entry.
The Best Time to Visit
Due to its sheer size, the perfect time to visit the USA varies greatly from region to region. In winter, Florida is very popular due to the mild temperatures. In the summer the West and East Coasts are flooded by tourists which drives up the prices for hotels and flights and during the Indian Summer in late autumn New England is a very popular destination. The hurricane season between July and September can be dangerous in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. Florida and the southern states are regularly struck by these tropical storms. Blizzards occur from the East Coast to the Midwest during the winter months and regularly put air traffic and public life on hold.
Currency
The US dollar is widely used throughout the world and accepted as a currency in most tourist hotspots worldwide. That being said, carrying cash isn’t necessary in the US, all you need is a credit card! These are very common in the USA and are accepted pretty much everywhere without any issues. If you already have a credit card in your wallet, you should make sure that it does not charge a foreign currency fee if possible. Carrying a few dollars in cash doesn’t hurt though. You might need cash e.g. for the bus ticket if you want to buy it directly from the driver. Most of the time you even have to give exact change.
