Star Alliance carriers such as Lufthansa, United, and Air Canada are running a sale. And this means you can purchase tickets for round-trips from Barcelona to Miami at prices starting as low as €170! But you have to act fast. This deal will most likely be gone by September 6th.
The availability for this deal is good starting from November all through to July 2020. Unfortunately, there are blackout dates over Xmas. You can also find the occasional flight in September and October if you’re looking for something near-term.
This deal is a Light fare. Consequently, only one piece of carry-on will be included. Sadly, adding checked bags via the carrier’s website will often increase the price drastically.
Several routings are possible for this deal. Most of them include a layover at one of Lufthansa’s hubs in Munich or Frankfurt. But you could also fly via Toronto, which is the case for some of the super cheap connections.
Search & Book
Tickets will only be sold until September 6th! And since the price is so low, we are not sure that the offer will actually last that long. So we’d recommend booking as soon as possible. Officially the offer is valid for travel commencing on or before December 24th, 2020. But as already mentioned, you will find most of the cheap flights until July 2020.
Minimum stay requirements are 6 days, and the fare rules allow for you to spend up to 3 months in the USA. Remember that you might need an ESTA or even an eTA if your trip brings you to Canada.
Use Google Flights (instructions) to find the cheapest connections. Then use our Travel Dealz flight search to book your flight. Purchasing a ticket from the carrier will increase the price a lot this time.
All tickets will be issued in booking class K. Therefore you might get a few miles, depending on the carrier you’ve chosen. But in many cases, this fare class could be exempted from earning miles.
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.
