For a long weekend break with a difference, a city break in the USA can be perfect. Flights to the East Coast of America are becoming far more competitively priced as more and more airlines fly between the UK and the USA.
What's more, there's a wide range of cities depending on what you fancy, whether it's a beach break in Florida, a shopping break in Manhattan or a scenic drive in Massachusetts during the Autumn.
Take a look at our USA city breaks and see what sort of deals are on offer.
The London to New York route is by far one of the world's most competitive, meaning prices have dropped significantly in recent years.
Airlines such as British Airways and Virgin Atlantic offer several direct flights to New York from London, while United Airlines also offers flights to New York from Manchester, Birmingham and other regional airports.
Being flexible with dates can help bring down flight prices and booking your flight and hotel together can also offer some good discounts. Flying indirect may also help save money, however flight durations will take longer if this is the case.
Once you've arrived, most US cities have great public transport, either subway or bus. Day and multi-day passes can be bought to help you save money, which often get discounts in certain museums and city attractions too.
America is a driving country, especially when you head out of the city and the public transport might not be as frequent. If you're staying in the city, skip the car and go public, but if you're planning a twin centre for example, hitting up Manhattan with a few days on Long Island, or visiting Miami with a trip down to the Florida Keys, then a hire car is the way to go. Book in advance to get the best deals.
