Hi there. I don't know where to start looking for the Visit USA flight coupons. Apparently they are sold outside of the US? Any suggestions of who I can contact?
TIA

Visit USA Package (VUSA) gives you better fare when you are traveling to more than 2 destinations within USA. Check with any travel agents for the details.

For cheap air tickets try Spirit airlines - they are an ultra low cost airline, meaning that even bottled water doesn't come free, but it's the cheapest airline on the East coast.

just remember if you use the toll roads that the hire company will charge you for a "salik" type device and perhaps charge you a lot per day of the whole car rental even if you do not stray onto the toll roads then the toll fees are on top too!

I would pass on Miami for the kids. The beaches are gorgeous, but not like you can't get that here either.
Just want to say that I love Jetblue, especially with kids. There are TVs on all seats, which is not something you get w/ budget airlines (or the majors for that matter).

We always use Jet Blue from JFK New York to Orlando. They have the best prices, and if you get in early and they have room on the earlier flight they will let you get on. I would rent a car in Orlando from Enterprise (usually the best deals and will upgrade the car) and drive to Miami. Its a very nice drive and there are cities in between that are beautiful. Orlando is great for kids but I'm not sure about Miami.

Going to New York, Miami and Orlando. What's the best and most cost effective way of getting around. Where's the best place to get Orlando theme park tickets without being ripped off?
Any recommendations for Miami? Will the kids enjoy it?
TIA
