Not only do Oneworld members American Airlines, Iberia, and British Airways have a great sale going on for their business class flights from Amsterdam to the USA. Prices have recently dropped even further, now starting at merely €1,136!
Worldwide travel restrictions are in place to slow the spread of Covid-19. We strongly recommend gathering detailed information about the travel and quarantine restrictions that apply to your desired origin and destination.
A good start is the International Air Transport Association (IATA) website. It provides current updates on a country’s immigration policies. Even better, the Covid-19 Travel Regulations Map is one of the most useful tools you can find.
We found cheap business class deals to the following cities:
- Philadelphia: €1,136 (nonstop)
- San Francisco: €1,140
- Washington DC/Baltimore: €1,140
- Miami: €1,140

- Chicago: €1,174

The flights are either operated by American Airlines with a layover in the USA (usually Philadelphia), Iberia with a layover in Madrid, or British Airways via London. On your flights, you will get a spacious seat that can be converted into a fully flat bed. You’re also entitled to 2 x 32 kg of checked luggage.
We expect further shakeups in the airline industry over the following months. Some services might be cancelled, aircraft changed or downgraded. The schedule we describe may very well change.

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.
