Cheap flights to Los Angeles

A globally important centre of culture, business and tourism, Los Angeles is the second largest city in the US. Yet this urban area is fringed by mountains, deserts and beautiful beaches.

As the centre of the biggest film industry in the world, it’s easy to feel familiar with LA - but being there in the flesh is another thing entirely.

When to book flights to Los Angeles

Blessed with year-round warm weather and sunshine, there is no real holiday season in LA as such. And its main attractions also have a permanent appeal. You can go star spotting on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, hang out on the beach at Malibu, or enjoy a family day out at a choice of world-class theme parks at any time of year.

However, if you are planning on visiting Disneyland or Universal Studios, then it is probably best to book flights well in advance. As popular family holiday destinations, flights are busiest during the school holidays. But, for many of the city’s other attractions, you can travel at any time. Go celeb spotting in Beverly Hills, watch the performers down on Venice Beach or sip cocktails on the Sunset Strip throughout the calendar year.

How to get to and around Los Angeles

Public transport in LA, as in most US cities, leaves something to be desired. Although there is an extensive bus and underground network, considering the city’s size it is in need of some redevelopment.

Even if you can catch a bus, you should expect a walk at either end as they tend to stick to the main thoroughfares rather than serving individual neighbourhoods.

Which explains why the car is king in LA. Car rental options in LA are plentiful and generally good value - as is petrol. And a comprehensive road network (including several major freeways) traverses the city.

Travelling further afield, a fairly good long-distance rail network and good domestic flight options make getting around relatively straightforward.

What are the must-sees in Los Angeles?

Los Angeles is less a city and more a huge metropolitan area - home to 17 million people. Check out the world-famous neighbourhoods of Beverly Hills and Bel Air, keeping your eyes peeled for the homes of the stars. Mingle with the rock gods down on the Sunset Strip or grab your surfboard and head out to the coast.

The Downtown area has seen a revival in recent years, home to a new hip scene full of bars and chic vintage shops.

Hollywood is the place movie magic is made and Venice Beach is where street performers ply their trade.

As Frank Lloyd Wright once said: ‘Tip the world on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles’.

How to survive the flight to Los Angeles?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’re well organised. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Los Angeles escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don’t forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Los Angeles?
The trick is to be organised before you arrive at security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Los Angeles in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
