CITY breaks don’t always have to be in Europe.
Especially when British Airways launches new deals on all short holidays in the USA, with hundreds costing from £582pp.
The British holiday company has flights to more than 15 US locations, most of which can be visited over three nights.
If you are not set on a particular destination and want to spend more time exploring and travelling less, Boston usually has the shortest flight times from the UK.
The Massachusetts capital city is followed by New York, Chicago, Miami and New Orleans, averaging 7 to 11 hours.
All the locations offer their unique charm, with anything from the busy streets of New York to the world-renowned nightlife of Miami or the rich cultural legacy of New Orleans.
The flag carrier flies from more than ten airports across the nation, so there should be deals to suit everyone.
Here are some of the best US city breaks we’ve spotted for this year:
- 3 nights at Park Central Hotel New York in New York, USA – from £582pp
- 3 nights at Clinton South Beach in Miami, USA – from £629pp
- 3 nights at Selina Catahoula in New Orleans, USA – from £663pp
- 3 nights at Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downton South Loop in Chicago, USA – from £669pp
- 3 nights at Four Points by Sheraton Wakefield Boston Hotel in Boston, USA – from £675pp
We understand that three days might seem like a short time to visit anywhere in the USA, but you’ll still have plenty of time to explore.
A top tip is to prepare a detailed itinerary before you leave to ensure you hit all the most popular spots in an order that makes sense without travelling back and forth in your chosen city.
On top of that, a sleep expert revealed a ‘foolproof way to avoid jet lag’, that even astronauts swear by.
If you still think you’d need more time to enjoy your holiday, we’ve also found some pretty good deals on seven-night stays in Florida.
Here are some of the best ones we’ve found with BA, under £1,000pp:
- 7 nights at Ramada Plaza Resort & Suites International Drive in Orlando, Florida – from £640pp
- 7 nights at Coco Key Hotel and Water Park Resort in Orlando, Florida – from £699pp
- 7 nights at Universal’s Surfside Inn and Suites in Orlando, Florida – from £863pp
All British Airways package holidays include return flights, accommodation and baggage allowance.
When flying long-haul, passengers can bring up to two bags into the cabin – as long as they don’t weigh more than 23kg each.
When it comes to checked luggage, passengers can check in up to ten bags weighing no more than 23kg for economy and premium economy and 32kg for business and first class.
If you’re travelling with kids, a British Airways pilot has revealed the little-known freebie they can dish out to kids and how to get one.
The freebies are given to kids after they visit the cockpit and include ‘Future Pilot’ stickers and a Skyflyers activity kit.
The freebie kit includes an eye mask and a postcard to send home.
For more deals, TUI has all-inclusive holidays with free child places that you can book with a £0 deposit.
And Travel Republic has also launched a new sale on summer beach holidays to Spain, Portugal and Turkey for as little as £115pp.
