Cheapest flight to anywhere in the USA

Hello I would to just find the cheapest flight to the USA - I don't care where from any London airport. Once there I will make my own connections to where I want to go - Fairbanks. I have been looking at flights to Fairbanks and at the moment with decent connections I am looking at about £800 min for economy flights. I just wondered if there were any websites where I could just search for a flight going anywhere in the USA?
Any help greatly appreciated.

    Dont know when you go, but I did a quick check on a return flight on 1 nov-14 nov from Madrid.......to JFK then back to Heathrow for £303 all in with American Airlines non stop. Quite a few for around £350 too from Madrid and back to London. Or Manchester for £400 ish.

    Check the websites of specific airlines - many of them will offer UK to US via their main hub that may not show up on the general search engines like skyscanner and kayak.

    Aer Lingus flies to the United States from £239 each way via Dublin.

    There's also the advantage of clearing US customs in Dublin, so you'll land in the US as a domestic passenger.
  • The trick is to book at very short notice, for example, if you can go in 3 days time you can get to JFK for £244 (click here)

    Then you can get out the next morning (click here)

    All down to https://www.skyscanner.net

    That's very useful information. I fly monthly into the US and am sick and tired of he slothful CBP.

    Many thanks indeed.

    Eastern USA is a long, long way from Fairbanks! Would you not be better to fly to western Canada and connect from there? I fear flying to JFK et al would be a false economy.
