Flying to USA

In a country the size of the United States, it is little surprise that there are more than 500 commercial airports scattered across its 50 states. And there are even more regional airports connecting travellers with smaller cities. That means a seemingly endless list of options for travellers looking to book a USA holiday package. Venturing State-side from Australia is no small feat; direct flights to Los Angeles from Sydney take about 13 hours. Airlines offering direct flights to Los Angeles as part of holiday packages to USA include American Airlines, Qantas and Virgin Australia. Other flights included in package holidays to USA may require one or two stopovers, in destinations such as New Zealand or Honolulu, and can be booked with airlines such as Delta and Air New Zealand. Webjet holiday packages to USA can be booked no matter your departure city, be it Melbourne or Hobart, or Gold Coast or Perth.

All travellers, regardless of where their USA Holiday Packages are taking them, need to apply for an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) if they are visiting for less than 90 days. The ESTA is permitted under the Visa Waiver Program, and ESTAs should be applied for before departing on flights to United States. Travellers ineligible for an ESTA will need to obtain a visa.

Things to Do in USA

Your holiday package to USA may take you to one city or a handful, and while your USA holiday package with Webjet takes care of your flights and accommodation, you’ll need to put some time into planning your vacation itinerary, too.

Times Square

A vacation to New York City, whether it’s your first time in the Big Apple or a return visit, is never going to be dull. One of the most popular magnets of NYC is undoubtedly Times Square, the neon-lit intersection that is jam-packed with billboards, pedestrians, Broadway theatres, stores and shops, and street performers. Love it or hate it, Times Square is a must-visit to anyone on a USA holiday package that takes them to New York.

Grand Canyon National Park

If you want to see the grandeur of America’s natural beauty, book your USA holiday package and travel deals to include a trip to the Grand Canyon. The Canyon measures more than 277 miles in length and more than 18 miles in width. People from all over the world (not just those with USA holiday packages) come to the Arizona desert to admire the Canyon, which, with the help of the Colorado River, continues to expand over time. The North Rim of the Canyon is where experienced backpackers and hikers explore the area’s deep caves and hidden nooks. The crowded South Rim is home to the Grand Canyon Village, Bright Angel Trail, and most amenities.

Mount Rushmore

Located in South Dakota, Mount Rushmore is a breathtaking visualisation of American democracy; four of the USA’s most revered presidents are carved into the rock face, peering out across visitors. Look up at the gargantuan depictions of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

Venice Beach

Get your fill of sun and sand along one of California’s most famous shorelines at Venice Beach. It might surprise visitors on holiday packages to USA that this beach actually plays second fiddle to the boardwalk, which is lined with street performers, quirky shops and food carts.

The Best Time to Visit USA

The best time to book USA packages depends on when and where you want to visit. The peak season for many cities is between the summer months of June through August, as well as the winter holiday season in late December through early January. Flights to the USA tend to be more expensive during in these peak travel periods. Keep an eye out for early bird deals and specials on Webjet and try to plan your vacation well in advance. Another way to save money is by booking travel deals and package holidays to USA.

The climate and seasons vary greatly from coast to coast at any time of year. The states in the North may experience colder temperatures while neighbours in the southeastern states are contending with sweltering heat and humidity. The East Coast may also experience hurricanes between June and November, and cities along the West Coast see heavier rains in November.

Before booking USA holiday packages, be sure to check the calendar to see if your travel dates coincide with any major holidays, a local vacation or events, such as the NFL Super Bowl, Independence Day or Thanksgiving. Some holidays see an influx of visitors to a particular destination, like Christmas and New Year’s Eve in New York City or Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Those looking for a vacation to America at these times should book their holiday packages to USA well in advance.
