Autumn kick on Route 66

SUNWAY are extolling the virtues of a September fly-drive trip to the US rather than in the hotter months of July and August.

For those who need prompting, the company suggests a 13-night programme on Route 66 that includes mid-size car hire, accommodation, direct flights and taxes from €1,959 per person.

Highlights of the Route itinerary include Chicago, Oklahoma City, Amarillo, Grand Canyon, Las Vegas and Santa Monica.
