Our availability calendar displays a vast selection of possible flight dates at the lowest price. It will forward you to KLM’s website:
You would usually fly to either Amsterdam or Paris and then cross the Atlantic with Air France or Delta. In some cases, you may be offered an itinerary that has two layovers: the second being in the US. If you’re flying to e.g. Washington DC and have a second layover in Boston, this might even be an advantage, as it allows you to fly to DCA airport, right in the city, instead of Dulles Intercontinental about 40 km away.
However, if you’re flying to the West Coast, do NOT choose such a connection, as it will have you flying in economy class for hours.
Search & Book
According to the fare rules, this fare will expire on January 15, 2024. There is a minimum stay of 6 nights or a Saturday night and a maximum stay of 3 months. The travel period begins on February 1.

Destination
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.
