This is where most people start. It’s for fans who want to watch the race from the grandstands. If you’re not sure which one to pick, here’s what I’d tell friends and family: for overtakes and close racing, go for Turn 1 or the Turn 15 Grandstands. I've watched from both and wouldn’t hesitate to sit there again.
If you’d rather see the start, pit stops, and finish, go for the Main Grandstand. Every grandstand I’ve listed below has a great view—so go with what suits you best. Circuit of the Americas categorises seating into lower, middle, and upper rows. We’ll always prioritise upper rows first. If they’re sold out, we’ll quote middle, then lower. All hotels are in downtown Austin, so you’ll be close to bars and restaurants in the evenings and within walking distance of the shuttle pick-up point for transfers to and from the circuit. • Return flights to Austin from a choice of UK airports
• Four-nights accommodation in Austin • Grandstand tickets for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday • Entry into the concerts at COTA • Official US Grand Prix shuttle bus circuit transfers • Chauffeur-drive airport transfers in Austin • ATOL protected - this means your money is always safe when you book with us Tailor-make your experience • Option to add extra-nights in Austin • Option to add a holiday in the US or Mexico before of after your Grand Prix™ weekend • Option to upgrade to Premium Economy, Business Class or First Class flights Packages staying at the Holiday Inn Express or similar

Solo travellers & single room occupancy
If you're traveling alone or require single occupancy rooms, you'll need to factor this in. Single occupancy supplements will be determined by your choice of hotel and the duration of your trip. Circuit transfers
Official US Grand Prix shuttle bus transfers to COTA are included in our Austin based travel packages. Coaches depart continuously throughout the day from downtown Austin on Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Flights to and from Austin
Our United States Grand Prix travel packages are based on economy class flights from Heathrow. If you have an alternative airport preference or are traveling from elsewhere in the world, please let us know and we can provide a tailor-made quotation. Direct flights operate from Heathrow to Austin. Indirect flights are readily available from UK regional airports via other US cities, Amsterdam and Frankfurt. The only way to secure your trip and lock in the price quoted is to make a confirmed booking. Flights and accommodation and tickets are priced on live availability and may change without notice until secured. It is not uncommon for prices to increase in line with availability and exchange rates so all trips will be repriced at the time of booking.
Excited but have a few questions? Need a tailored quote to suit your travel requirements? We're here to help, so please don't hesitate to contact us. 
These ticket and travel packages include passes for the Formula One Paddock Club. This is as good as it gets at any Grand Prix. The Paddock Club gives you full hospitality in a prime location—often directly above the team garages.
On top of that, you get daily pit lane access and a guided tour of the track and paddock. This is where Formula One teams host their sponsors and guests, and where the sport’s main partners entertain too. So you know you’re getting the real deal. For any F1 fan, the Paddock Club is hard to beat. Every time I’ve been, it’s felt like being a kid in a sweet shop (or a candy store, if you’re in the States). The level of access it gives you to Formula One is something else. • Return flights to Austin from a choice of UK airports
• Four-nights accommodation in Austin • Formula One Paddock Club passes for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday • Exclusive pit lane walkabouts at allotted times • Guided tour of the Formula 1 paddock • Guided track tours • Full hospitality with bar • Entry into the concerts at COTA • Official US Grand Prix shuttle bus circuit transfers • Chauffeur-drive airport transfers in Austin • ATOL protected - this means your money is always safe when you book with us Tailor-make your experience • Option to add extra-nights in Austin • Option to add a holiday in the US or Mexico before of after your Grand Prix™ weekend • Option to upgrade to Premium Economy, Business Class or First Class flights £11,611 per person staying at the Holiday Inn Express Downtown University £12,224 per person staying at the Tommie Austin, part of Jdv by Hyatt £13,297 per person staying at the Thompson Austin Solo travellers & single room occupancy
