SAS is currently selling cheap tickets from Brussels to both coasts of the United States. These tickets merely cost €406 to New York (even a bit cheaper if you are willing to accept very long layovers) and €50 more to California. Flying with luggage also doesn’t increase the price too much, only costing €80 more for the entire trip.
This offer can also be combined with SAS’ Youth Fares, allowing people under the age of 26 to fly for €322, with luggage already included.
Our calendar displays all available dates to Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. It can also redirect you to SAS’ booking site:
You can fly to the following cities:
No matter which destination you choose, you will always have one layover in Copenhagen. The flights to Chicago, New York, and San Francisco are operated using an Airbus A330, while the flights to Los Angeles use an Airbus A350.
People under the age of 26 can take advantage of SAS’ Youth Fares, and e.g. fly to New York for €322, with luggage included:

Search & Book
This fare can be booked for flights that take place before June 19, 2024. You cannot depart from Brussels on a Friday or Saturday, and you cannot fly back on a Saturday or Sunday. The fare has no expiration date and can thus be withdrawn anytime. The minimum stay requirement is 6 days or one Sunday. Stopovers are not permitted.
Google Flights shows all available dates, as does our own calendar above. We recommend that you book these tickets directly on SAS’ website.
Mileage
If you fly without luggage, the tickets will be issued in booking class T, while the fare that includes luggage bumps the booking class up to L. Both give the exact same number of miles, though. Here’s an example for what flying to Newark (and back) with luggage would get you:

Destination
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.
