California Travel Guide: When Is The Best Time To Book A Flight To California?
To find the cheapest flights to California, it’s recommended to book your flight tickets as early as 6
months in advance. If you’re not flexible enough to plan that far ahead, aim for a minimum of 7 weeks
before booking your flights to California. Take into consideration events like the Academy Awards when
looking into flights to California as this will increase the price a lot. If you’re flying into Los Angeles try to

the San Gabriel mountains. Being flexible is the best way to secure the cheapest flights to California.
Due to its topographical extremes California’s weather depends on where you are. Along
the coast, the climate is mostly mild. Los Angeles is high desert, and the low humidity
keeps the city comfortable year-round. About 28 miles south of LA, Anaheim can go up into
the 80s or 90s in the summer, with cool evenings. Anaheim winters are mild with little
rain. San Francisco is foggy with cool winds. Summer temperatures occasionally go above
70; fall tends to have clear skies and temperatures in the 80s. Winter rarely goes below
freezing. Sacramento’s summer days can reach 100 degrees, but then drop as much as 40
degrees at night. The rainy season runs from late fall into spring, and winters are cold and
foggy.
Los Angeles International Airport, also referred to as LAX, offers both domestic and
international flights to multiple destinations around the world. Within the US, non-stop
flights to California are approximately five and a half hours from New York, three and a half
hours from Minneapolis, six hours from Boston and five and a half hours from Miami. If
you’re flying internationally, flights from both London and Japan are approximately 11
hours. It’s important to keep in mind that flight times can vary due to delays such as
weather conditions and unforeseen issues, so it’s always best to get to the airport a few
hours early to ensure you’re properly informed of any changes to your flight.
Once you arrive in Los Angeles, head to the baggage claim area and out the automatic
airport doors to access transportation to your lodging destination. If you’ve booked a ride in
advance, there are shuttle guides along the walkway to ensure you catch your ride on time.
