Iberia flies to Los Angeles using an Airbus A330 and the flight takes roughly 13 hours. If you’re continuing to San Francisco, you’ll fly roughly one more hour onboard an Alaska Embraer 175, in economy class.

It is also possible to start your trip in other Spanish airports, such as Valencia, for a slightly higher price.

The fare rules sadly do not state an expiry date for this deal. Your stay has to last at least six days to get the lowest fare, or include a Sunday. Your flight has to take place during the following travel periods:

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.

    Thanks for that great deal.
    If I am possessing a one world sapphire with the British airways executive club, do I have the possibility to change or transfer miles to Finnair and get a status without flying before?
    Is the baggage now for free?

    Thank you,

      Hi there! Thanks for your feedback, we’re happy that you liked this deal? As to your question about transferring miles: unfortunately, the answer is no. While there are (limited) options to transfer Avios between frequent flyer programs, there is no way you could use your tier miles to obtain status with another airline. If you’re an Executive Club Silver member, you should be able to benefit from the extra baggage allowance. Although this might not be available on British Airways’ ‘Hand Baggage Only/Basic’ fares.
