When you purchase your tickets, always ask about APEX (Advance Purchase Excursion) fares, which offer significant discounts for tickets that are purchased several weeks in advance.
If you will be traveling extensively around the US, ask your travel agent or airline about Visit USA. These are discount tickets that offered by many major US airlines, including American, Delta, Northwest, TWA, United, and US Airways, to international travelers. Visit USA tickets must be purchased before departing for the US.
You will most likely arrive in one of the following gateway cities: Anchorage, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Honolulu, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Orlando, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, DC.
These cities have the most international flights. Other airports may have direct flights from selected countries.
If your ultimate destination is elsewhere, you will need to take a connecting flight after you exit immigration and customs. Processing through immigration and customs can take up to two hours or more, so allow sufficient time to make any connections.
