Los Angeles Flights

A city full of big dreams, excitement and relaxation, Los Angeles is a destination that mingles the bustle of a big city with the tranquillity of the ocean. Celebrity searching, shopping and fine dining are some of the favourite activities of tourists; however there are many alternatives to the usual Los Angeles itinerary such as fascinating museums, surfing and live entertainment. With all of the excitement going on in this colourful city, it is not surprising to find that tourists flock to it. This means that finding cheap flights to Los Angeles from AU$1,085 is a relatively simple task, provided you avoid the yearly award shows.

Best time to go to Los Angeles

Peak Season:

Although Los Angeles is a great place to visit all year long, tourism really booms between the months of June and August. This is largely due to the dry, warm climate, which not only makes the beaches inviting, but also calls for plenty of live outdoor entertainment.

Shoulder Season:

May and September make up the shoulder season in Los Angeles. Tourism thins out during these months as schools are not yet on holiday and the weather is a little cooler than many Los Angeles-bound tourists prefer. Because of this, finding cheap flights and accommodation is easy.

Off Season:

There is rarely a true off season in Los Angeles; however from October to April, the city becomes less clogged with people and the weather becomes a little cooler and clearer, leaving Los Angeles open for plenty of exploration.

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.
