Cheap Flights to California
California's major cities all have airports that welcome incoming California flights from cities all over the world. San Francisco International Airport (SFO), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), San Diego International Airport (SAN), San Jose International Airport (SJC), and Sacramento International Airport (SMF) are all big airports that visitors of California use to visit or connect to other cities. SFO and LAX are two of the busiest airports in the state. Both of these airports have low-cost airfare for local California flights along with accommodations for international flights. People that decide to visit the Bay Area can fly into SJC as an alternative to SFO. Those that want to visit Southern California also have the option of using the Burbank Airport (BUR) as an alternative.
California Weather
California is larger than most countries in the world, so its climate covers a huge range. California flights can be booked at low-cost during the winter and fall months—it is best to take advantage of deals on flights to California because the weather will be great in Northern, Central, and Southern California. Northern California is more temperate in the major cities, with temperatures in the Bay Area never getting too hot in the summer nor too cold in the winter. Southern California, especially in the greater Los Angeles area, can experience really hot dry weather, while places further south like San Diego staying much more comfortable all year.
Getting Around California
Tourists have various transportation options when they visit California. There are public transportation services in each part of the state. Once your California flight arrives at one of the airports, you can take a taxi, rent a car, board a bus, or travel by train. Inexpensive transportation is easy to find in California. The Bay Area has BART and Caltrain which connect San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose. If you are visiting LA or San Diego, renting a car or taking a taxi are the most viable transportation modes for these more sprawling cities of California.
California Attractions
