How to Plan an American West Route?

When you set your mind to travel to the West America, the first point you should decide is where to fly.. San Francisco or Los Angeles? I think it’s Los Angeles because if you start your trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco as we do you won’t need a car in SF and parking fees in San Francisco start at $35 per day, so you’ll have a great budget win. .

We bought our ticket from Turkish Airlines with a 13-hour direct flight.. If you want to fly by connecting, you can find very affordable tickets.. The normal ticket price is 1500 – 2000 TL per person for connecting tickets, and 3000 TL for direct flights with THY.. You can fly with Turkish Airlines using your miles like us.. As a very good credit card user, I do all my spendings with the card and earn miles like crazy.. I can recommend the Miles & Smiles Platinum card to those who think about it.. Flying to LA and returning from SF was a great planning for our trip because we both saved $55 a day by delivering the car early since we won’t be driving on the last day in SF, and we saved a total of $270 by avoiding the $35 daily parking fee for 3 days.

How Many Days Are Required for the West America Route? How Was Our Route?

We traveled 3200 km in 10 days and traveled 4 states, including California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah, Western Our itinerary on our route to America was as follows.

• Accommodation in Los Angeles for 2 nights, reaching Vegas in 4 hours by car ride from Los Angeles to Las Vegas on the morning of the 3rd day

• Las Vegas 2 night stay, next morning departure for the Grand Canyon
• Las Vegas Grand Canyon ride, stopping at Williams town on the way before arriving at the canyon, to be on the legendary Route 66 and tour the Grand Canyon Arriving in Page, Arizona in the evening, staying in Page for 1 night
• Trying the Page Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend Canyon and returning to Los Angeles at noon, leaving the hardest part of the road behind after an 8-hour drive to LA Reaching
• Oceanside road trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco: Pacific Coast Highway 1 route Next day, complete the Santa Monica, Malibu, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Pismo Beach, Big Sur, Bixby Bridge and stay in Monterey. Arriving in Santa Cruz and San Francisco and staying
• Spending 2 nights and 3 more days in San Francisco and returning to Istanbul from SF

I will give you all my information and advice about the trip. I will give you detailed Travel Guides for the city, but until those articles come to the blog, the points I would like to give special advice on the West America Travel Route, based on my experiences on this trip:

• Los Angeles is truly a marvel of marketing. If you have a serious savings or income here, it can be very nice to live, but what it promises you in terms of tourism is not incredible.. Therefore, spending 2 days here was quite enough in my opinion.

• Las Vegas is the perfect Sin City, so you have to have a lot of money to have fun here too, because everything it’s all about spending money. For this reason, 2 nights is quite enough.. Be sure to stay in the area called Las Vegas Strip, otherwise you’ll be out of everything, the whole thing revolves around the strip.. And definitely pre-fill all your evenings with tickets to shows in Vegas. My advice is not to miss those of Cirque Du Soleil!

• When you set off from Vegas for the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam everyone stops by on the way. there is. We also stopped by, but I think it was unnecessary. If you don’t want to waste your time, don’t worry.

• Grand Canyon has many places to visit, the first thing to do is go to the Visitor Center, choose a route and ask the staff to guide you. never mind. We preferred the Desert View, which we can do with our own car, instead of the Hermit Route, which is made by the buses of the canyon, which is preferred by most tourists, because we could connect directly to the Page road we wanted to reach from the exit of this road.. For this reason, orientation according to your route is important, don’t skip it.

• Antelope Canyon was the king, queen, everything of this trip. I made one of my dreams come true. If it is among your “Bucket List” items, make a reservation in advance for this natural wonder that will be on the “Things To Do Before You Die List”. It doesn’t matter whether Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon, both are beautiful, there is no room for the best hours of sunlight at 10:00 – 11:00 months in advance for both, act quickly. The only reason Upper is so famous is because the world’s most expensive photo was taken here.. Lower is also beautiful, we visited it, make no mistake. It takes 15 minutes to walk from the parking lot of the cars to Horseshoe Bend, which you will go to after Antelope.. Bring at least 1 bottle of water per person.

• It was the hardest way to get from Page to LA because it took 8 hours. The next day, we started the PCH 1 route, so we turned full throttle and stayed at a cheap roadside motel for the night.. This part can be a bit tiring, but we could only manage it because the number of days was limited.

• The longest and most scenic road to get from Los Angeles to San Francisco Pacific Coast Highway 1. If you try to take it in 1 day, you will be very tired and you cannot travel enough, so I recommend you to stay in Monterey, the middle point, relatively affordable location.. Right next to it, Carmel is a very famous and very expensive, elite neighborhood.. The famous 17 Mile Drive route you can enter from Carmel is a private road with a $10 entrance fee.. A complex with golf courses, incredible luxury homes, hotels, all with views of the Pacific Ocean.. I think you should definitely skip this place.

• When you get tired on Pacific Coast Highway 1, you can take the Pacific Coast Highway 101 and shorten the road. No toll. You don’t need anything like HGS, OGS. You can go back to the beach whenever you want.. There is an app that shows you the places you can visit on the way, you can download it too.

• San Francisco has a lot of homeless, choose your accommodation area inside. Accommodation is too expensive. Act in advance, do not neglect. We paid $500 for 3 nights for a hostel room for 2 people, half of our accommodation budget went to this!

As convertible car enthusiasts, we rented a red Ford Mustang for this legendary road trip.. The daily rent of our car we rented from Avis was $55, including insurance.. You can easily rent a car in the USA at prices starting from 25-30 USD per day.. With such affordable prices, you can make your trip happier by choosing luxury vehicles that you can never buy or rent in Turkey!

A few information about Traffic and Rules in America to Avoid Penalties

• STOP signs that say STOP really mean STOP. You have to stop whether a pedestrian or vehicle passes by.
• There will be places to park on the side of the road.. Lift your head and check when and what times are prohibited on the sign, if it is free, park by paying as much as you will stay at the parking meters.
• Never leave the car on the red painted places on the roadside while parking.. Even if it doesn’t overflow anywhere.
• The speed limit is how many miles it says. Never exceed the speed limit just because there are no cameras.
• In America, traffic lights are not right next to where you stop, but across the street.. If you are going to turn right or left, you pass when it is free.. EXTREMELY ABSOLUTELY! The light in front of you does not bind you. There is also a red light that is impassable in prohibited places.

What is the West America Trip Travel Budget, Cost?

• Flight Ticket: $1300 (We bought it with miles, but this was the price for 2 people at the time we bought it)
• Accommodation: $1088 (9 nights, 2 people total) )
• Car Rental: $444 (including 8 days insurance)
• Gasoline: $215 (3200 km road)
• Food & Drink: $330 (10 days, 2 people all inclusive, even water!)
• Tour and Show Tickets: $ 300 (Antelope Canyon $ 100, LV Cirque Show $ 200, 2 people total)

In summary, when I calculate the flight ticket with all its figures; Food, accommodation, all kinds of activities and 3200 km of travel in 10 days with a super luxury car, the budget of this trip is 3650 $.

Tours and shows are optional, accommodation budget is accommodation in hostels. can be lowered. As I said for plane tickets, it is an option to save miles or to reduce the cost of connecting flights.

As a result, she’s been to New York in America before and has always been New York is my soul mate, I can say that the real America is New York.. Of course, our trip to the West was very, very good, but the mad horror did not affect me.. I can say that the most fascinating part was the canyons in Arizona and Utah.. On another trip, I would like to just fly there and follow nature.
