Few Places which Justify your Flights to USA
The mammoth country of the US is crammed full of every conceivable tourist attraction. Before booking your flights to USA, spare a moment and take a look at some of the destinations that merit a visit. Read on for inputs into some hot US hotspots.
Listing down the attractions of the US may well be an attempt at pouring the Ocean into a bath tub. This humongous country is like a universe with countless galaxies of tourist magnets. Every state tells its own tale and a single lifetime may prove to be too short to explore all the travel spots of the US. Sift through just a few of the irresistible places in the US.
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
The majority of travellers catching flights to USA make it a point to visit New York and almost everyone who goes to New York, takes a tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Often billed as the hottest single site New York tourist attraction, this museum brims over with some of the priciest works of art known to mankind. Modern Art, Medieval Art, Roman Art, Greek Art, Ancient Near Eastern, and American Decorative Art – the list is infinite when it comes to describing the treasures stocked in this museum. Some of the most popular attractions are the American Wing, Robert Lehman Collection, and European paintings.
Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles
Anyone looking for cheap flights to USA for a Los Angeles trip should definitely take a trip to Manhattan Beach. The experience proves to be overwhelmingly exhilarating as one takes in local sights. Walk streets lined with bougainvillea, sidewalk patios bustling with life, tastefully done up beachside cottages, and carefree surfers all add vibrant dashes of colour to this legendary spot. If you are looking for some fun filled moments, head to Fun Bunn’s. The Manhattan Beach is also in convenient proximity to quite a few hotels.
Lion Country Safari, Florida
The sunshine state of Florida makes for an unparalleled sun, sand, and surf experience. However, this is not all as the destination is filled with numerous other tourist delights. For instance, quite a few travellers booking flights to USA head to the Lion Country Safari in Florida. The experience is unforgettable as you drive through the park and get up close to denizens of the wild such as chimpanzees, lions, white rhinos, and zebras. If you are driving an open vehicle or a soft top one, you will have to rent a van.
African American Civil War Museum, Washington DC
Rich with history, Washington DC makes for a nostalgic trip down the country’s memory lane. One of the best places for such a trip is the African American Civil War Museum. Check out the permanent exhibit section, which is filled with audiovisual programmes, erstwhile documents of burning importance, and photographs tracing African American history from the period of Civil War to the Civil Rights movement. A trip to the African American Civil War Museum will definitely go a long way in justifying the effort you spend on finding cheap flights to USA.
Mirage Volcano, Las Vegas
The Sin City of Las Vegas has many claims to fame. The sights, smells, and sounds of this destination are just incredible. Just one of the mesmerising sights here is the Mirage Volcano. It simulates a live volcano complete with smoke. The innocent first time visitor literally jumps out of the skin when this volcano bursts.

My Flight to Hong Kong Took Me to a Land Of Wonders
After my two visits to Hong Kong, I have started to consider myself some kind of expert on the city. So, let me enlighten and enrich you with some of my treasured tid bits on the city that never sleeps (which city sleeps by the way)!
If you are a tourist or a potential tourist or some idler who is just fascinated by Hong Kong, the following information might be highly beneficial for you after you have booked your flights to Hong Kong.
Hong Kong provides an opportunity to experience the fantastic fusion of eastern and western cultures – from style and shopping to an array of cuisines. While the city’s bright neon lights and soaring skyscrapers reminds one of the rapid development the region has witnessed, the temples and colonial buildings speak (scream, rather!) of its glittering past.
Smaller islands that surround Hong Kong are the perfect places for anyone who wishes to seek the spiritual splendours of this orient destination. The Po Lin Monastery on the island of Lantau holds one of the worlds’ largest statues of Buddha and remains a top attraction for devotees and holiday makers alike.
Victoria peak is another popular tourist delight that is responsible for making cheap flights to Hong Kong such a prized commodity! Get on the mountainside tram that leads up to Victoria Peak and get acquainted with perhaps the world’s best view of a skyline!
Enjoy your trip to Hong Kong and experience a city that was meant to be a top holiday destination from the beginning of its existence!
