Frequently asked questions

How much is a flight to West Coast?
Lots of incredible deals were going begging this week, with round-trip flights to West Coast ranging from $130 to $1,090. But it was travelers beginning their trip from Wellington (WLG) who landed the best bargains. One-way fares to West Coast fell to just $65.
How to book the cheapest flight to West Coast?
Scoring cheap flights to West Coast is as easy as booking with Orbitz. But if you want to make sure you’re grabbing the best flight deals around, here are some suggestions worth following:

  • Depending on where you’re taking off from, click on the ‘Nearby airports’ function (located under the departure and arrival form fields). On occasion, alternative departure points will have more competitive fares.
  • If your travel plans aren’t etched in stone, click on the ‘Show flexible dates’ link to bring up the flight deals for a selection of departure dates. You may find an amazing fare.
  • To optimize your results, click on ‘Show options.’ You can search based on seating class, airlines, nonstop flights and refundable flights. You can also choose your preferred flight times under ‘Sort & Filter’ to the left.
  • Once you’ve figured out your travel dates, don’t delay booking your flight. Ticket prices generally get dearer as the departure date nears.
  • Save on your adventure by combining your flights, hotels and car rental into an Orbitz package. Your bank account will thank you for it.
  • Where possible, don’t fly during the busy season. Airfares are often at their highest during school breaks, summer and other vacation periods like Easter and Thanksgiving.

What is the best time to book a flight to West Coast?
Book in January, February or August for unbeatable fares to West Coast. Once you’ve spotted a bargain, snap it up — cheap flights will pop up and then vanish in an instant.
What day of the week is the cheapest to book a flight to West Coast?
Get a great flight deal by making a booking on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday. These are typically the best days to land cheap airfares to West Coast.
What is the cheapest day of the week to fly to West Coast?
Everyone enjoys a great deal, so think about leaving earlier in the week for cheap flights to West Coast. Orbitz data from 2020 shows you can grab the best deals on flights that take off on Mondays. Tuesdays are the next most affordable day, while Saturdays are likely to cost an arm and a leg. Many passengers tend to travel at the end of the week, so leave those Saturdays for binge-watching your favorite TV shows.
What is the cheapest month to fly to West Coast?
We won’t keep you in suspense — according to Orbitz data, August is generally the most inexpensive month to fly. Ideal for those who want a weekend getaway or just a break from it all before the weather turns. Be aware that the costliest time to fly is the height of summer, with ticket prices peaking in June.
Which airlines allow free cancellation?
Flexibility is more important than ever, that’s why Orbitz lets you search for airlines that won’t hit you with a fee for any amendments. Add your departure and arrival destinations, then choose “Filter by flexible change policies.” We’ll show you all the options that include free cancellation and no change fees.
What do I need for the flight to West Coast?
Any lengthy flight can be daunting, but it’s nothing a little preparation can’t solve. We’ve rounded up our top suggestions to ensure your journey is a stress-free one:

  • Nothing is more important than your identification documents. Which to bring and how many depend on whether you’re flying international or domestic. It’s best to check with your airline. In both cases, you’ll need to show some kind of government-issued ID.
  • If you’re flying directly to West Coast, chances are you’re going to be in the air for quite some time. Take enough snacks and things to keep you occupied. Now is a fantastic time to pick up that novel you’ve been dying to read!
  • Cabin temperatures are often chilly enough to give you goose bumps. Pack a hoodie even if you’re traveling during the height of West Coast summer.

How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to West Coast?
There are ways of booking business or first-class airfares to West Coast that won’t burn through your savings. Claim a seat at the front of the plane for less with these helpful tips:

  • Flexibility isn’t confined to yoga. Leave some room to move around your travel dates so you can snap up cheaper airfares when they pop up.
  • Plenty of budget carriers offer excellent business or premium-class seating that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
  • Bid for an upgrade in online auctions (if available) or upgrade your ticket with loyalty points.

What is the best time to go to West Coast?
August, September and October is the most popular time to visit West Coast. If you’d like to arrive when the weather’s nice, book for summer. Temperatures normally fluctuate between 55 ºF in the evening and 65 ºF during the day at this time. Like many places in the Southern Hemisphere, summer in West Coast begins December 1.
