Add flights to Hawaii or Florida to your route
London Heathrow and Manchester are the only airports offering non-stop tickets to popular destinations on the West coast of the USA. From here you can select connecting flights to Hawaii for people seeking some winter sunshine, often with the same airlines.
Another way to escape the winter is to take a direct flight from London and to choose Florida as your destination. Based on your wishes, we will ensure that your itinerary has the best flight routes with well-known airlines, such as British Airways and Delta Airlines, from the most convenient airports, with all the connections and city stopovers you require to personalise the experience.

7 to 8 hours: London to New York JFK

Non-stop flights or multi-stop routes?
Would you like a non-stop flight to your destination, then begin your fly-drive directly from there and return from a different airport in the USA? You can also choose a multi-stop route and fly to Denver and fly home from a different airport such as Atlanta, for example.
Perhaps you would prefer to plan multi-city stopovers to popular destinations such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Orlando or Las Vegas and plan all your flights with the same airlines? This can all be arranged for you. Similarly, domestic flights with local airlines from nearby airports can also be arranged, if you prefer not to drive for the full vacation.

Useful facts
USA visa
If you would like to travel to the United States as a British citizen, you can easily apply for an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation for a holiday in America. The ESTA allows you to stay in the United States for a maximum period of 90 days for tourism purposes. An ESTA USA is not a physical document but an electronic travel authorisation. Applications are easy and are done online. The cost is approximately nine pounds.
You will need a valid British passport, a valid debit card or credit card to pay the fee and a current email address. You should receive your approved travel authorisation within 24 hours.
Driving in the USA
Your British driving licence is valid in the United States. Also when renting a car. However, we recommend that you also bring an International Driving Permit. As some car hire companies will require that you have an International Drivers Permit before they will let you rent a car from them. Please note: this does not replace your British driving licence, therefore you will need to bring both documents. An International Driving Permit is available at post offices throughout the UK for approximately 5.50 pounds.
Languages in the USA
While the USA has no official language, American English is one of the most common. You can speak English anywhere you go, without any worry. Because the United States is a melting pot of all kinds of cultures, you will also hear other languages besides English. In the southern states, for instance, Spanish is also spoken.
USA currency
The national currency of the United States is the US dollar. Dollar notes go up to 100 dollars and there are also dollar coins. Besides cash, you can pay with a credit card or a debit card with the Cirrus or Maestro logo.
To withdraw cash, you can use an ATM. These can be found at banks and also in the better supermarkets and sometimes at petrol stations. Before you travel, check that your bank card has a world cover, otherwise it will not work in the United States.
Flights
The duration of your flight to the United States depends on where you land within the country. If you fly to the East Coast, you will be in the air for approximately eight hours. If you are flying to San Francisco or Los Angeles, you will be on the road for more than 11 hours (without stops). The amount of baggage you can take with you depends on the class in which you fly and the airline you choose. When travelling with Little America, you fly with the most leading airlines in the world.
