SkyTeam partners KLM and Delta are selling cheap flights to various US destinations for only £293 (~€342). The most attractive routes are those to Florida and California. While departing from various airports in the UK is possible, the best prices by far are those from Southampton, except for some exceptions – e.g. flights to Seattle are cheaper from Inverness, though with much lower availability.
Our calendar displays all available dates for trips of up to 28 days. Simply select your preferred destination and dates, and we’ll redirect you to klm.co.uk, where you’ll get the best price:

This fare does not include any luggage unless you have a SkyTeam frequent flyer status. Otherwise, you’ll have to pay roughly £100 (~€117) for 23 kg of luggage.

This fare’s minimum stay requirement is one Sunday. Furthermore, your stay cannot exceed 12 months. The economy class tickets have to be booked at least 7 days before departure.

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.
