How much is a flight to Southern California?

How to book the cheapest flight to Southern California?
Using Orbitz, you'll uncover some of the most impressive flight deals around from a wide range of airlines. But if you're eager to boost your chances of scoring cheap flights to Southern California, here are some pointers to bear in mind:

  • Depending on your departure city, select the 'Nearby airports' function (located under the departure and arrival form fields). From time to time, alternative departure points offer cheaper airfares.
  • Also, click on the 'Show flexible dates' option to bring up the airfares on days around your selected departure. It's possible to pick up cheaper flight deals if you're flexible with your plans.
  • To filter your results, hit 'Show options.' You can search based on airlines, seating class, and nonstop and refundable flights. You can also choose whether you want to fly in the morning, afternoon or evening under 'Sort & Filter' to the left.
  • If you've sorted your travel dates, lock in your flight. Airfares generally get dearer as the departure date nears.
  • Consider combining your hotels, flights and car rental into a package deal to make your budget go even further.
  • If you can, don't fly in high seasons. Airfares are usually at their most expensive during school breaks, summer and around other vacation times like Easter and Thanksgiving.

What is the best time to book a flight to Southern California?
If you can, purchase your tickets to Southern California in January. This is the best month to reserve low airfares, closely followed by February and August. With a little organizing, you're sure to find a cheap flight with Orbitz.
What day of the week is the cheapest to book a flight to Southern California?
If you're after cheap fares to Southern California, the best days to make a booking are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. With Orbitz (and a bit of good timing!), a superb flight deal will be all yours.
What is the cheapest day of the week to fly to Southern California?
According to Orbitz data from 2020, Monday tends to be the best day to get cheap flights to Southern California. Tuesday also has more affordable airfares, while Saturday has the highest ticket prices. Even though leaving at the weekend can be more suitable, you'll have more cash to play with if you jet out at the start of the week.
What is the cheapest month to fly to Southern California?
Jet off during August if you don't want to eat into your budget. Orbitz data shows that this is generally the best month for cheap flights to Southern California. June is when airfares really go up.
Which airlines allow free cancellation?
Orbitz makes it a snap to find airlines offering fare flexibility. Simply select "Filter by flexible change policies" when searching for your Southern California flights and ta-da! We'll show you options that include free cancellation, no change fees and of course, an irresistible low price.
What do I need for the flight to Southern California?
From onboard entertainment to travel basics like hand sanitizer, there are a few things a regular flyer won't leave home without. To ensure you're all set for your flight, have a read through this useful list:

  • Check that you've packed your travel documents and identification. For overseas journeys, you'll need your passport. When reserving your tickets, always use the same name, birth date and gender as stated on your current ID.
  • A well-stocked carry-on bag is a must-have for any medium-haul flight. With several hours to kill, you'll want something to keep you amused while in transit. We suggest a good book (or trashy magazine), and something to snack on.
  • Air conditioning and high altitudes can create a cool environment (and we don't mean trendy!). No matter what the weather is outside, pack an extra layer to keep nice and warm on your plane trip.

How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to Southern California?
There are ways of booking business or first-class tickets to Southern California that won't burn a hole through your wallet. Bag a seat in the pointy end of the plane for less with these practical tips:

  • Flexibility isn't just for your yoga class. Avoid locking in your travel dates so you can snap up cheaper airfares when a big sale drops.
  • Search for a budget carrier that has business-class seats. They usually come with more legroom and a glass of Champagne — and a more affordable 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.

What is the best time to go to Southern California?
Travelers come from every direction to visit Southern California in February, March and May. So if you want to explore this amazing destination in the busy season, this is the time to go. As with most places in the Northern Hemisphere, summer starts June 20 in Southern California, with average daily temperatures ranging between 65 ºF and 75 ºF.
