Oneworld airlines offer you cheap flights from Amsterdam to New York

The cheapest itineraries include a flight through London Gatwick airport. The connection is rather short, only 1:05 on the way there. However, you should still choose that option over an airport change to Heathrow. Most flights include a Boeing 777, either from British Airways or American Airlines.

Search & Book

The sale is on until September 30, 2022 and you’d need to reserve 28 days before flying. You can fly from September to May with possible holiday itineraries. You can fly from Mondays through Thursdays on the way there and you can fly back from Tuesdays to Thursdays. Availability looks very good, with a little break in late October.

You can browse flight dates on either Google Flights or on our availability calendar above, then book on British Airways’ website. Alternatively, you could book the flights through online travel agencies (OTAs) using our flight search tool, although the ~€20 price difference may not equal out the lost benefits.

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

British Airways issues the long-haul flights in booking class O, while the short-haul tickets in booking class S. The trip connecting in both Gatwick and Heathrow would get you the following mileage:

  • 3,680 Avios + 30 Qpoints on Qatar Privilege Club
  • 2,226 Miles on Alaska Mileage Plan
  • 2,026 Avios on Aer Lingus AerClub
  • 1,955 Points on Finnair Plus

  • 1,955 Award Miles on LATAM Pass
  • 1,955 Miles on Royal Air Maroc Safar Flyer

  • 1,819 Avios + 60 Tier Points on British Airways Executive Club

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.
