While we’re already used to flights from Spain to the US east coast being very cheap, flying all the way to California is quite different. You can currently book flights from Barcelona to San Francisco for merely €308, usually flying with American Airlines via New York. Flying from other airports such as Malaga or Valencia should also be possible for a slightly higher price.
Our calendar displays all available dates for trips of 6 – 28 days:
From Barcelona, you would fly roughly 9 hours to New York onboard American Airlines’ Boeing 777. An Airbus A321 will fly you another 6 hours to San Francisco.

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.
