Flights to Los Angeles

They say if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. But you know the truth. If you can make it in Los Angeles, you’ve truly passed a test of talent and stamina. While the streets here are lined with palm trees and the hopes of aspiring artists, not everyone can make it to the silver screen. Even if you’re not heading to the City of Angels with dreams of stardom dancing in your eyes, you never know when you could be discovered on Sunset Boulevard or catch a celeb’s glow as you pass them on Rodeo Drive.

LA is the land of sunshine and big dreams, and a place where you can get sand in your toes by morning and turn your face toward the sun in Griffith Park by afternoon. In the evening, scope out the nightlife in West Hollywood or downtown. Book flights to Los Angeles with Travelocity, and your turn in the land of stars and dreams is about to begin.

Transportation from LAX

Los Angeles flights land at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), near the coast and just 20 miles from downtown. Whether you’re staying in the heart of the city or at one of the beach cities, there are transportation options for getting to your hotel. Los Angeles traffic has earned itself a reputation as being a challenge, and navigating it can require a bit of patience. If you’d rather let someone else take the reins, take the FlyAway shuttle to locations including Union Station and Westwood. You can also take the “G” shuttle to the Metro Green Line Aviation Station.

To open up the possibilities for your Los Angeles vacation, grab a rental car near the arrival level islands. A car allows you to make your way around the county on a whim, from the beach to the desert, maximizing your days in Southern California. Book your rental car at the same time you buy airfare to Los Angeles to save money, like the savvy wise wanderer you are.
