Destination Profile
Yeeha! Swivel the lasso and fire up the BBQ, because cheap flights to the USA from New Zealand make the big hop over the Pacific Ocean to the classic stars and stripes. Most of the top deals will be on airlines that jet into West Coast metropolises like LA and San Francisco. From those, you can break out to the wave-splattered Pacific Coast Highway for bucket-list driving tours and whale spotting on the Big Sur. Or, you can go further into America, following Route 66 up to Chicago’s blues bars, heading down the winding Mississippi to New Orleans’s jazzy whiskey dives, or hitting the Rockies for ski pistes and trails.
Zoom through forests of giant redwoods and see waterfalls crashing over the Big Sur on this amazing coastal drive.
From Montana to Colorado and beyond, the Rocky Mountains are the great backbone of America. Make like a pioneer and come to hike their trails or ski their pistes!
Wonders abound in New York City. This is the fabled Big Apple, where the Empire State Building looms high and Broadway sparkles with bright lights.
Right now, October/2026 is the most affordable time of year to take a flight to the USA. You will pay the most in September/2027.
