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

Flights to California connect you to beaches, restaurants, shopping, and sight-seeing to keep you fully entertained. Some California’s top attractions are:

Universal Studios Hollywood: tours of the famous NBC back-lots are a must-see
The Golden Gate Bridge: awe-inspiring since the 1930s, offering unlimited views of San Francisco and the surrounding landscapes
San Diego Zoo: the best zoo in the world has a gondola lift to see animals in a whole new way
Disneyland: tourists in the Los Angeles area are continually attracted to Disney's mesmerizing palace
Lake Tahoe: the premier spot in California for gambling, skiing, fishing, and any other outdoor activity you can imagine

How much is a flight to California?

If you're after round-trip flights, airfares ranged between $182 and $741 this past week. The cheapest one-way price was $100, from New York (JFK).

How to book the cheapest flight to California?

With some of the most affordable flight deals around, you can jet for less with Orbitz. The following suggestions will help you pick up cheap flights to California — and leave you with cash to spare:

Departing from or arriving at other airports can sometimes be cheaper. Enter your preferred departure and arrival points. Next, click on the 'Nearby airports' function below the form fields to see what your options are.
If you're flexible with your plans, click on the 'Show flexible dates' link. You'll see the flight deals for the days around your selected departure. Airfares often vary depending on the day of the week.
Hit 'Show options' to narrow down your search results. You can choose your preferred seating class and airline here. Under 'Sort & Filter' to the left, you can even select whether you want to fly in the morning, afternoon or evening.
Once you've worked out your travel dates, don't delay booking. Fares normally get more expensive as the departure date gets closer.
Bundle your flights, hotels and car rental into a package deal and unlock great discounts. Save your hard-earned cash for things that really excite you, like exploring every corner of California.
Flying during busier seasons means pricey airfares. Try to travel outside of popular periods, such as Easter, Thanksgiving and school breaks.

What is the best time to book a flight to California?

Reserve your seats to California in January. This is a great month for bargain prices, followed by February and August. Catch cheap flights and enjoy your dream getaway with Orbitz.

What day of the week is the cheapest to book a flight to California?

To pick up a fantastic flight deal, make a booking on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday. Typically, these are the cheapest days of the week to purchase flights to California.

What is the cheapest day of the week to fly to California?

Everybody enjoys a good bargain, so we recommend setting off earlier in the week to nab cheap flights to California. Orbitz data from 2020 suggests you can get the best prices on flights leaving on Mondays. Tuesdays are the next cheapest day, while Saturdays are likely to cost a bundle. Many passengers like to travel at the weekend, so leave those Saturdays for binge-watching your favorite TV shows.

What is the cheapest month to fly to California?

To score cheap flights to California, you should take off in August. If saving on your plane ticket is your main concern, Orbitz data shows that this is generally an excellent month to jet off. June is when airfares are at their highest.

Which airlines allow free cancellation?

Plans change, and we believe your ticket should be able to as well. That's why Orbitz makes it a snap to search for flights with no change fees and free cancellation. Just enter your departure and arrival points and then choose "Filter by flexible change policies." How's that for peace of mind?

What do I need for the flight to California?

Whether you're a regular flyer or you're new to the skies, you can never be too organized on your journey. Here are some things to take into consideration:

For starters, you'll need to take all your travel documents and identification. How much will depend on where you're departing from. When you book, you should always use the correct name, gender and birth date listed on your government-issued ID.
A well-packed carry-on bag is a must-have for any medium-haul flight. With a few hours or more to kill, you'll probably long for something to keep you entertained while in the air. We recommend a good book (or trashy magazine), and something to nibble on.
Aeroplane cabins can get quite cool. If you decide to travel during the height of summer, make sure you bring some extra layers of clothing to keep comfortable.

How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to California?

Smart travelers know how to find first or business-class flights to California without the astronomical price tag. Take their lead with these handy tips:

Being flexible doesn't just help with your yoga. Leave some room to move around your travel dates so you can pick up cheaper airfares when they crop up.
Plenty of budget carriers offer comfortable business or premium-class seating for a wallet-friendly price.
Make the most of your airline's frequent flyer program and use points to upgrade your seat. You can also bid for an upgrade in an online auction if available.

What is the best time to go to California?

California is busy in March, April and May. If you're planning to visit during these months, it may be an idea to book ahead of time to ensure you get the most rewarding deals. Want to know what the summer's like in California? Average daily temperatures typically range between 55 ºF and 75 ºF. Like most destinations in the Northern Hemisphere, summertime kicks off June 20 here.
