The SkyTeam partner Delta, KLM, and Air France are selling discounted tickets to various cities in the USA. With a departure from Brussels, round-trips are available at prices starting around €246. The cheapest flights will get you to New York, but you can also fly to the west coast for a little more.
Even if atrip to New York is never a bad idea, we think that other destinations included in this deal are even more interesting:
The availability is very good as of now. Like with most cheap trips from Europe to the USA, the down downside is that you can’t check-in any bags. Doing so will increase the price by about €100 per return-flight.
The flights to New York are mostly nonstop connections. All other routes include at least one layover. This could be in Amsterdam or – more likely – in one of Delta’s hubs in the USA.
Search & Book
Tickets for this deal have to be issued until November 23rd. But with prices this low we don’t think that the offer will be around for such a long time. It’s valid for trips commencing between November 1st and March 31st, 2020.
The minimum stay requirements are 6 days or at least one night from Saturday to Sunday. You could stay in the USA for up to three months. But don’t forget that your ESTA will only be valid for 90 days!
Google Flights (instructions) will display all discounted flights and prices correctly. Choose dates that suit you best before booking on the carrier’s website. You can also use our Travel Dealz flight search if you want to compare prices that OTAs offer.
Mileage
Tickets will often be issued in booking class V. The earning rate here will be somewhere between 20% and 25% on most SkyTeam frequent flyer programs.
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.
