Visa

UK and Irish travellers usually need either an approved ESTA or a visa to enter or transit through the USA. Many holidaymakers travelling on eligible passports can use the Visa Waiver Program for tourism or business stays of up to 90 days, provided they meet the requirements and apply for ESTA before travel.


Some travellers may need a visa instead, depending on their passport, travel history, purpose of visit or personal circumstances, so entry requirements should always be checked carefully before booking and again before departure.

Transport Options Around the USA

The USA is best planned with distance in mind, as domestic flights, trains, coaches, city transport, private transfers and car hire all have their place depending on whether you are visiting one city, combining several states or heading out onto the open road.

Air Travel

Domestic flights are often the most practical way to cover long distances, with major airports including New York JFK and Newark, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago O’Hare, Miami, Orlando, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Dallas Fort Worth, Denver, Seattle and Honolulu, giving travellers strong access to city breaks, beach holidays, theme parks, national parks, cruise ports and multi-centre itineraries.

Train

Train travel can work well in selected parts of the USA, especially along the East Coast between cities such as Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, DC, while longer Amtrak routes offer a slower, more scenic way to experience the country for travellers who see the journey as part of the holiday rather than just a way to get from one place to another.

Bus

Buses and coaches can be useful for budget-friendly journeys, organised touring, city-to-city travel and regional links, particularly where rail options are limited, although journey times can be long and should be planned carefully when building a wider USA itinerary.

Car Rental

Car hire is one of the great pleasures of travelling in America, especially for Florida holidays, California coast drives, national park routes, New England touring, the Deep South, the Pacific Northwest and classic road trips where freedom, flexibility and scenic detours are part of the experience.

Travel Tips for First-Time Visitors

  • Do not try to cover too much in one trip: The USA is huge, so it is better to enjoy two or three places properly than spend the whole holiday in airports.
  • Check resort fees and local taxes: Hotel pricing in the USA can include extra charges, especially in places such as Las Vegas, New York, Florida and resort areas.
  • Plan airport transfers in advance: Distances from airports to hotels can be longer than expected, and pre-arranged transfers can make arrival much smoother.
  • Remember that tipping is part of the culture: Restaurants, bars, taxis, hotel staff and guides often rely on tips, so it is worth budgeting for this before you travel.
  • Keep your first day gentle: The flight and time difference can catch up with you, especially when travelling west, so avoid overloading the arrival day.

Travel Tips for Experience Explorers

  • Build the trip around regions, not just cities: New England, the Deep South, the Pacific Northwest, the Southwest and California all work beautifully when planned as proper routes.
  • Stay outside the obvious areas when it makes sense: In cities such as New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles, the right neighbourhood can change the whole feel of the trip.
  • Use internal flights carefully: They can save huge amounts of time, but airport transfers, security and delays still need to be factored into the day.
  • Book national park accommodation early: Lodges and well-located hotels near places such as Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and Zion can sell out months ahead.
  • Leave room for spontaneity on road trips: Some of the best American travel moments come from diners, viewpoints, small towns, roadside stops and detours you did not plan too tightly.

USA, Built for Big Holidays

Cities, coastlines and open-road adventures

The USA is a destination that gives travellers scale, choice and a genuine sense of occasion. It can be fast-paced and glamorous, relaxed and coastal, wild and scenic, family-friendly or wonderfully indulgent. Few places offer such a wide range of holiday styles in one country, and that is exactly what makes it so rewarding.


For Tullys Travel customers, the USA is ideal for holidays that need careful planning and a little expert shaping. Whether the dream is New York for the first time, Florida with the family, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon, a California road trip, a Deep South music journey, a Hawaii escape or a coast-to-coast adventure, the USA delivers energy, freedom and memories on a scale few destinations can match.
