About flights to North America
Overview of flying to North America
North America offers UK travellers some of the world's most iconic destinations — the great cities of the United States and Canada, the beaches of Mexico and the Caribbean coast, plus stunning national parks and road-trip routes. Frequent, competitive flights connect the UK to gateways right across the continent.
Best time to visit
Timing depends on the region: spring and autumn suit the northern cities, winter is ideal for Florida, Mexico and the south, and summer is peak for national parks and Canada. Fares rise over summer and the festive season — the price charts on this page show the cheapest dates.
Popular countries & cities
- USA (New York, Florida, California): cities, beaches and theme parks.
- Canada (Toronto, Vancouver): vibrant cities and vast wilderness.
- Mexico (Cancun, Mexico City): beaches, culture and cuisine.
- Las Vegas & the Grand Canyon: dazzling lights and natural wonder.
- Boston & Washington: history and culture on the east coast.
Airlines and routes
British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, American Airlines, Delta, United and Air Canada fly direct from London to many North American cities; Manchester also has direct transatlantic services. Flight times range from around eight hours to the east coast to eleven to the west.
Top tips for finding cheap flights to North America
- Book around 6–12 weeks ahead for the best value.
- Avoid the summer and festive peaks if your dates are flexible.
- Compare nearby airports for better fares.
- Midweek departures are often cheaper than weekends.
Travel essentials
- Most UK travellers need an ESTA for the USA or an eTA for Canada — apply online before you fly. Check Mexico's rules separately.
- Currencies include the US dollar, Canadian dollar and Mexican peso.
Baggage & hand-luggage allowance for flights to North America
Your allowance to North America depends on the airline and the fare you book. The table below shows typical long-haul allowances so you know roughly what to expect — always confirm the exact limits with your airline before you fly.
| Fare type | Hand baggage | Checked baggage |
|---|---|---|
| Basic / Light economy | 1 small under-seat bag | Usually none — add for a fee |
| Standard economy | 1 cabin bag + 1 personal item | Typically 1 × 23 kg |
| Premium economy | 1–2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 23 kg |
| Business / First | 2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 32 kg |
Indicative only. Allowances vary by airline, route and fare — always check your airline's baggage policy.
Packing & baggage tips
- Full-service carriers (e.g. British Airways, Turkish Airlines, KLM) usually include a checked bag on long-haul economy fares; basic/low-cost fares often don't.
- Cabin (hand) bag size is commonly around 56 × 45 × 25 cm — confirm your airline's limit before you pack.
- Liquids in hand luggage must be in containers of 100 ml or less, inside one clear resealable bag.
- Weigh your bags at home — airport excess-baggage fees are far higher than pre-booked allowances.
- Extra or heavier bags are almost always cheaper added online in advance than at the airport.
