Is there any other way (I.E boat) to get there. I have been before and I was flying. I just don't like it and would like to know if there was any other way.

Channel Tunnel to France.. turn east to Russia....carry on thru sunny Siberia....cross the Bering strait to Alaska then south into USA...then east to NY.
Could take a while to get there though.
Go in the winter and you can walk all the way...the bering strait would be frozen over,

The QE2 goes to New York (this is expensive though) There are other boats that go but I think that this is the biggest an most popular
If you really want to go that much then maybe this could be a chance for you to face your fears-it might not be that bad you could maybe go first class which could mean a better flight

i dont like to fly either but its the best way to go. ive been on a ship before and if you like casinos and getting sea sick itll be perfect. taking a ship takes around 5-7 days and is really expensive. if you do decide to take a plane, try to get an aisle or window seat cos ive been stuck in the middle before and its awful. make sure you bring a nice pillow so you can just sleep the whole way. be over before ya know it.

There's only one other way to get from the UK to the USA and that's by boat unless you're a very good swimmer.

get on a cruise ship from Southampton to NY, I don't like flying either but I have to if I want to go anywhere.
I've got 8 flights in 5 weeks coming up. I think my wife's hand is going to be crushed beyond recognition. LOL!

A trip by boat (such as the Q.E. II) will take several days and be much more expensive than flying. But it's your only option (unless you want to tramp on a freighter, but that's pretty bare-bones).

I used to live in New York. We sailed back to England on the P&O Canberra. It was cheaper than shipping the luggage and we had a week long cruise. Bon voyage !

You could go by boat but it would take about 5 days!

Contact a local travel agent. Explain your situation to them. They will book you lodging on a ship. Sometimes you can get a great deal on a cargo ship. Some of them are set up with cabins for paying customers. Good luck.

QE2 sails regularly between New York and Southampton.
