Deciding Where to Go
The first thing to consider is where in America you are going to visit, America is a large country with lots to offer. Whether you want to visit Florida, New York, LA, or somewhere else will depend on the type of holiday you are looking for.

Visas
To visit America with a UK passport you need a visa. It’s important to allow plenty of time to apply for the visa to avoid any disappointment. The only exception would be if you have dual nationality and possess an American passport. Applying for a US tourist visa is straightforward and simple. An appointment can be booked online to submit the visa application at either the London, or Belfast embassy. A visa currently costs $160 and a recent passport photo and relevant documents will be required.
The interview is nothing too difficult and you shouldn’t have any problems as long as you don’t have anything to hide. If you have previously been deported from any other countries, or had problems with other visa conditions then you might have difficulty getting the visa.
Flights
Flights to America can be very expensive, if you are looking for the best value flights then you should try to travel off peak. Also bear in mind that America is a very large country. Anyone planning on visiting more than one city might also want to consider booking some domestic flights to speed up travel.
