Travel to Long Beach, California

If you're planning a trip to Southern California, Orbitz.com can help you find cheap flights to Long Beach. The city is filled with family-oriented attractions, restaurants and miles of sandy beaches, making it perfect for family vacations. In addition, Long Beach's central location makes it the ideal destination for tourists to explore various areas of Los Angeles and Orange County.

Flying into Long Beach

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), John Wayne Airport and Long Beach Airport are all within 25 miles of downtown. However, it's more convenient to choose a flight that arrives at the Long Beach Airport because it is closer to the city and is less crowded than LAX. Long Beach Airport is located at 4100 Donald Douglas Drive, approximately 3 miles from the center of the city. Six airlines provide flights to Long Beach, including Alaska Airlines, Delta, JetBlue and US Airways. You can take a taxicab into Long Beach for about $30 to $40. Alternatively, you can take the public bus for $1.25. If you plan to explore Los Angeles and Orange County during your trip, it's easier to have your own set of wheels. You can use Orbitz.com to reserve a rental car when you book your flight. The airport houses five car rental companies, including Avis, Budget, Hertz and National.

Exploring the City

If you're planning a trip to Long Beach, you should avoid traveling in the winter. During the winter months, the average temperatures range from around 45 degrees Fahrenheit to the high 50s, and the city gets most of its rain for the year during this season. Plan your trip any time between April and October. During this time, the average temperature ranges from the low 50s to the mid-70s, and rain is rare. The Pike at Rainbow Harbor, a Long Beach icon, is one place you shouldn't miss. Visit The Pike at night to see the Ferris wheel and carousel draped in lights. The Aquarium of the Pacific, one of the largest aquariums in the United States, is located at the end of the harbor. If you want to see what The Pike was like in its heyday, visit Loof's Lite-A-Line-a museum that features some of The Pike's original game tables-and a car from the famous roller coaster, the Cyclone Racer. One of the city's most popular attractions, the Queen Mary, gives guests an idea of what it was like to travel aboard a luxury liner. After you tour the Queen Mary, tour the Scorpion-the Cold War-era submarine that sits adjacent to the historic cruise ship.

The beautiful weather, sandy beaches, family-oriented attractions and its location make Long Beach one of California's top vacation destinations.
