How to apply for a visa to America on your own - step by step instructions.

Plane

Since the state of interest to us is located in another part of the globe, the easiest way to get to it from Russia is by plane. Nowadays, you can get from Sheremetyevo International Airport to one of the megalopolises of the United States both by direct flight and with transfers. Air carriers such as Aeroflot, Turkish Airlines, KLM, Delta, Airfrance and some others offer their services to passengers.

Please note that when choosing a European operator, you often have to make at least one transfer at an airport in one of the countries of Western or Central Europe. Although you can easily find an advantageous offer with a direct route. Well, now about everything in order.

So, the Turkish carrier offers several flights with transfers in Istanbul. It should be noted right away that the tickets of this particular company are the most budgetary ones. For example, you can fly from Moscow airport to Los Angeles on one of four daily flights. The travel time, depending on the departure time, will be from 22 to 37 hours, and the ticket will cost only 22.5-32 thousand rubles.

Among the direct flights from Moscow to Los Angeles, we advise you to give preference to the planes of the domestic Aeroflot, which will take you to the American airport for only 32 thousand rubles. The flight departs daily at 12.30 and is the fastest in this direction: the travel time will not exceed 12 hours 50 minutes. By the way, this is the only direct flight to the "City of Angels".

If you are flying directly to Las Vegas, Finnair will have the best deal. You will have to pay only 29,800 rubles for a one-way ticket, but the travel time will take 32 hours and 40 minutes, of which 16 hours will have to be spent in the waiting rooms of Helsinki and New York. There is no direct flight in this direction. The fastest way to get to the Casino City is on a Condor aircraft, the cost of which will cost at least 45,800 rubles, and the travel time will be 17 hours 10 minutes with a transfer in Frankfurt am Main.

Mixed route

You can also choose an alternative way to get to the United States. The most popular routes run through neighboring countries, in particular Canada. For example, you can get to Ottawa airport on the same plane, and then choose a route, both in the sky and on the ground. But such a flight will cost a "round sum", because from Moscow to Ottawa the most budgetary flight will be the carrier's flight from Finland, which will cost at least 32,800 rubles!

But if you do make it to Canada, you can consider one of several land routes. In particular, there are good rail links between the two North American countries. Amtrak is ready to offer its services, on its website (amtrak.com) you can always find a favorable offer and book a travel document in advance.

Trains leave daily from the Montreal platforms (with connections to New York), Toronto and Vancouver (with connections to Seattle). There is another popular train that connects Windsor, Canada, and Detroit, USA.

Bus

You can also travel from major cities in Canada and Mexico by bus. The main carrier in this direction is Greyhound, on whose website you can view the most optimal routes, book a ticket for a specific date or purchase it right away. By the way, on the website you can also buy travel tickets, which entitle you to free travel on buses for a certain time - from 7 to 60 days.

By car

It's not a secret for anyone that “warm” relations have long existed between the United States and Canada, which could not but affect the transparent and fast border crossing procedure. Therefore, an equally popular way to get from Canada to the United States is to travel by private or rented car.

You can cross the border at one of the border checkpoints, of which there are about a hundred. You can view this list on the US Border Service website - cbp.gov. You can also cross the border and on foot.

There is also a ferry service, but it is not very popular. As a rule, the route by water is chosen by those tourists who get to the States from the Caribbean.

So we figured out how to get to the United States on our own, and which routes will help save time and money.
