Your first day in the United States

Plan the distance, not only the destination

Airport choice, hotel location and local transport have a major effect on the first day of an American trip.

  1. 01

    Confirm the exact airport

    Major cities may have several airports. Match the airport code with your hotel transfer before booking.

  2. 02

    Account for transfer time

    Traffic and distance can turn a short map route into a longer journey, especially during busy arrival periods.

  3. 03

    Keep documents accessible

    Store your accommodation address, return details and essential confirmations where they are easy to retrieve.

  4. 04

    Start within your neighbourhood

    Plan a nearby meal or short experience before committing to a cross-city journey after your flight.
