Ways to Make Your Trip to the USA More Comfortable

A trip to the USA is exciting. With so many iconic places to visit and experiences to be had, any trip to the USA is going to be a rewarding and exhilarating one. Whether it’s historical sites, famous theme parks or the brightest beaches, the US undoubtedly has the perfect spot for you. That being said, there are still preparations you can make to ensure any trip to America goes smoothly and as comfortably as possible for you.

Here are some ideas to help you with that.

1. Budget Extra Cash

Having access to extra funds is essential for any trip, but particularly so during a trip to America. This is due to the customary tipping system. Tipping is expected to be 10-25% of your bill, and unless you’re planning exactly what you’re going to eat and drink in advance, you’ll need to have some wiggle room when it comes to spare dollars. You don’t want to feel as though you’re being a rude tourist by not tipping appropriately, so this is an area to consider into your budget before you go.

2. Upgrade Your Flight

Flights to the USA can become lengthy depending on which state you’re travelling to, and especially if you’re travelling with a large family or small children who don’t agree with sitting still for long periods of time. Upgrading to first class is a must when travelling for long periods of time, though it is possible to enjoy a free upgrade to first class every once in a while as well.

If you truly wish to make your flight more enjoyable, however, then you are going to need to look into which airport you wish to land from. Airport quality varies drastically, with the more luxurious options often having the best connections into the city. Treat yourself further with private jets to Denver, and experience true luxury. First class will never be the same after you do.

3. Plan Your Road Trip Just Right

One of the most popular ways to see America is through a road trip across many states, including the famous Route 66. A road trip can be a thrilling way to experience America, especially when you take in the quintessential road-side diners and wide American roads. However, romantic ideal aside, road trips can become very uncomfortable if not planned properly, not to mention that adequate rest and supplies are paramount.

It’s important to consider the best vehicle for your road trip. Though it can be tempting to hire a Mustang and hit the open road, you should consider alternatives like a motorhome or campervan. These can be luxurious and spacious. You can go for quirky, cool camper homes that have been painted by local artists to perfect the backdrop of all your photos, or you can opt for a motorhome that expands, has running water, AC, and all the modern luxuries you need to enjoy a road trip for long periods of time.
