Stowaway lol but honestly a boat probably if you could get to liverpool it would be way cheaper than a flight i know a guy who got to the uk from us in a shipping container but i wouldn't recommend thatIm planning on travelling to the US in a couple years and am a very inexperienced traveller.
Was wondering if anyone knew the cheapest/easiest way to get to the US from the UK (London specifically)
Not to contridict you, but I've never seen sea shipping routes anywhere near the price of a flight. Accomodations on most cargo ships are around $125 a day.Stowaway lol but honestly a boat probably if you could get to liverpool it would be way cheaper than a flight i know a guy who got to the uk from us in a shipping container but i wouldn't recommend that
All depends boats are always cheaper from a main port like liverpool ive had friends get a boat from france to the us for less than a flightNot to contridict you, but I've never seen sea shipping routes anywhere near the price of a flight. Accomodations on most cargo ships are around $125 a day.
Thats a good point a boat may not be the best anwser and Newark is way better than jfk how long is that train trip from the uk to france ?Cheapest and easiest is to fly from Heathrow to JFK. Depending on what your plans are. You could also try Newark, which is better in my opinion, than JFK. I think the last time JFK was updated was when JFK was born. It's also out of the way.
I wouldn't recommend convincing yourself about getting a boat over, it's definitely something that's not a regularly cheap option, if at all. Container ships are expensive and take weeks. You can be in NYC in 8 hours if you fly.
Lastly, speaking as a Brit who has spent quite a considerable amount of time in the US in the past, don't get your hopes up. I don't want to kill the dream, but what you see on TV is not what is real.
Imagine all of those American tourists arriving in London thinking it was going to be like Downton Abbey! I kid. But still...
You are in the UK. It's quite an amazing collection of countries to experience. Get yourself a tarp and stick your thumb out. It's not as hard as you may think and you will have a great time.
There are a couple of options. Never longer than around 3 hours, as I remember.Thats a good point a boat may not be the best anwser and Newark is way better than jfk how long is that train trip from the uk to france ?
