USA travel guide
Most Indian travellers reach the USA on a one-stop flight, often through a Gulf, European or East Asian hub, and then connect to a US gateway city. Common gateways include New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas-Fort Worth, Washington Dulles, Seattle and Atlanta. Our packages are land-only, so flights are booked separately.

Getting to the USA from India takes planning, because the country is far and most trips connect through another hub. This guide shows the common entry airports, how to choose one, and how to get around once you land. Our facts do not give flight durations, so confirm timings with your planner.
The best airport depends on three things: your final destination, the airline alliance you prefer, and your visa or transit preferences. New York (JFK and Newark) is a common choice for East Coast trips, and San Francisco (SFO) and Los Angeles (LAX) suit West Coast trips. Ask your planner which gateway fits your route.
In major cities, subways, commuter rail, buses, rideshares and taxis are the main options. In dense urban centres like New York, public transit is usually the most efficient. Outside major cities, a rental car is often easiest, especially in the West. Domestic flights link distant regions, and rail covers some corridors.
For most trips outside major cities, yes. Intercity public transport can be limited in the West and in suburban or rural areas. Check the rental terms with the company before you travel, and confirm the car arrangements in your quote.
