  • Taking off from or arriving at other airports can sometimes work out cheaper. Type in your preferred departure and arrival airports. Next, select the ‘Nearby airports’ function below to explore your options.
  • If you’re flexible with your schedule, click on the ‘Show flexible dates’ option. It’ll display the flight deals for the days around your chosen departure. Airfares often vary depending on what day of the week it is.
  • To filter your results, click on ‘Show options.’ You can search based on airlines, seating class, and nonstop and refundable flights. You can also select your preferred departure and arrival times under ‘Sort & Filter’ to the left.
  • The early bird catches the most rewarding deals, so book as soon as you’ve worked out your travel dates. The most affordable airfares are quick to go and prices generally rise as the departure date nears.
  • Think about bundling your hotels, flights and car rental into a package with Orbitz to make your budget go even further.

What do I need for the flight to Carlsbad?
Nothing’s more enjoyable than jetting off to a cool new place, but it’s smart to be prepared. This list of handy tips will help get your journey started on the right foot:

  • Your travel documents are the most important things you’ll need to have with you on your flight to Carlsbad. To avoid any problems at the time of check-in, make sure that the information displayed on your ticket is correct and matches your government-issued photo ID.
  • Make time fly by even faster on your short hop by packing the right stuff. Think tasty snacks, a water bottle and entertainment. If you want your journey to Carlsbad to pass nice and quietly, throw some noise-canceling headphones or earplugs in your bag as well.
  • Even if you’re traveling when it’s 100 degrees outside, bring a hoodie or sweater on board with you. Cabins are notorious for getting chilly!

How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to Carlsbad?
Experienced travelers are pros at finding business or first-class flights to Carlsbad that don’t cost a packet. Be like them with these handy tips:

  • Be more flexible with your travel dates and hold out for early bird or last-minute sales on first or business-class airfares.
  • Search for a low-cost carrier that offers seats in business class. They often come with more legroom and a glass of Champagne — and a more attractive price.
  • Take advantage of your airline’s flight rewards program and upgrade your seat. You can also bid for an upgrade in an online auction if available.

How to get into Carlsbad from the airport?
Zip into downtown Carlsbad with a McClellan-Palomar Airport (CLD) car rental. There are two providers at McClellan-Palomar Airport (CLD) — Budget and Avis. Once you’ve signed the papers and collected your ride, the city center is a journey of 1 mile to the west of CLD. Another option would be to take a taxi downtown and choose a vehicle from one of our Carlsbad car rentals. Either way, when you book with Orbitz, you can be sure you’ll always score a fabulous deal!
How to get around in Carlsbad?
The choice is yours — railways or motorways. Carlsbad’s rail network connects Carlsbad Poinsettia Station with stops near many interesting sights to visit like LEGOLAND® California. Prefer the idea of zipping around town in a cool set of wheels? Rent yourself a vehicle from Budget. You’ll find an office conveniently located close to the downtown area.
What is the best time to go to Carlsbad?
Tourists come from far and wide to check out Carlsbad in February, March and June. So if you want to explore this fabulous destination in the peak season, this is the best time to go. Like many places in the Northern Hemisphere, the summer begins June 20 in Carlsbad, with average daily temperatures hovering between 65 ºF and 75 ºF.
Travel tips for Carlsbad

  • Downtown Carlsbad is bristling with awesome attractions. Gems like LEGOLAND® California and Carlsbad Premium Outlets will keep your feet moving and the sightseer in you satisfied.
  • You’ll find rewarding day trips a short commute from the center of town. Check out San Diego Zoo first and then make your way to San Diego Convention Center.
