Cheap Oneworld flights to the US from various European countries.

All itineraries have at least one stop in either London, Madrid, Helsinki or Philadelphia. The good availability lets you decide which airline and aircraft do you want to fly.

Search & Book

You need to book until March 29, 2022. You need to stay at least six days but not more than three months at your destination. You can travel until the end of June or between September and December. You can find great availability during both travel periods.

To find the best routes and dates, we suggest using Google Flights (instructions). We have preselected a few filters: we set an 18-hour maximum travel time (you could delete the filter to find the best San Francisco prices) and deselected flights to/from London Gatwick and City so you won’t need to travel between airports. You can remove these filters easily with one click.

You can use our search form above to be redirected to British Airways’ website or our flight search tool. As always, we recommend booking with the airline for various reasons.

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.

Mileage

Your mileage will vary a lot by booking and operating carrier and status. We suggest using our mileage calculator for your exact calculation. If you have BA Executive Club, you can use our Tier Points and Avios calculator. In this calculation below, you can see what you would get on a BA flight from Basel to Chicago booked on BA. British Airways issues booking class Q for the long flight and S for the short flight.

Destination

The USA is not the cheapest country when it comes to hotels. To benefit from the best deals, you can use our hotel search box below. Once you selected your destination and dates, it will redirect you to either Booking.com or to our hotel search tool which compares different booking sites.

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.
