Cheap flights from Manchester to the United States from £193

Manchester Airport (MAN) has a lot of choices for connections with the USA. You can fly to the New York City airports of John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Newark (EWR) and LaGuardia (LGA) or further afield to San Francisco (SFO), Los Angeles (LAX), Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) or Atlanta (ATL), among others. Each of these airports have regular 24-hour local transport connections to their respective city centres.

Virgin flies direct to the USA from Manchester. It connects with Atlanta, which is one of the biggest transport hubs in the USA. KLM also offers a direct flight from Manchester to Atlanta. The majority of other flights to the USA from Manchester tend to transit through another city. For example, TAP Air Portugal can get you to Newark (EWR) through their home hub of Lisbon (LIS). Lufthansa flies from Manchester to Los Angeles (LAX) but connects through Frankfurt (FRA). Aer Lingus can take you from Manchester to Chicago but through its Dublin (DUB) hub while Virgin’s flight to JFK transits through Amsterdam (AMS).

There’s a lot of variety in stopover times and their impact on fares between Manchester and the various US destinations. For example, Aer Lingus offers one of the lower fares to Chicago but you will have an eight-hour stopover in Dublin. The benefit with using Dublin as a transit though is that you can clear US immigration there, saving you a lot of time when you land Stateside. On Virgin’s San Francisco route through Atlanta you’ll have only around three hours of transit time, which is just enough to comfortably make the second leg. Air France’s route to the same destination will require a 14h stopover in Paris (CDG). Conversely, SWISS can get you to Miami (MIA) via Zurich but you’ll only have around 1h 15min to change planes, so you’ll need to check that you can make that connection and that your baggage will be transferred automatically.

British citizens do not need a visa for visiting the US but they do need to obtain an Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) visa waiver, as well as hold a valid UK passport. This is the same whether you are entering the US as a tourist or to transit to a third country. Everyone must hold their own ESTA, including the children in your group. Your passport needs to be up-to-date and valid throughout the length of your stay but, unlike many countries, you don’t need to have additional validity on your passport apart from this.
