Flights To The USA

Cheap Flights To America

From the UK, direct flights to popular US cities such as New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston generally range from seven to nine hours, making them highly accessible for everything from city breaks to longer holiday stays. Major UK departure points include London (Heathrow and Gatwick), Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow, with frequent services on airlines like British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, American Airlines and United Airlines.

Before you book, there are some key formalities to have in hand. UK citizens travelling to the USA for tourism (up to 90 days) can apply online for an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation) under the Visa Waiver Programme, ensure this is confirmed before you fly.

For better value, consider flying in shoulder seasons like late spring or early autumn when both fares and crowds tend to be lighter. Booking your outbound and return legs together often secures a better deal. Also check baggage and seat selection policies, as many carriers now offer variable pricing levels on trans Atlantic flights.
