Cheap Flights to Los Angeles

Endless transcon competition makes LA one of the best-value big cities to fly into

Flight Deals to Los Angeles

Los Angeles International (LAX) is one of the most competitive airports on earth, with Delta, American, United, and Alaska all running major operations alongside budget players Spirit and Frontier. Transcontinental fare wars are constant, and nearby airports — Burbank (BUR), Long Beach (LGB), and Orange County (SNA) — give Southwest and others room to undercut LAX entirely. The result: deals to the LA area appear almost weekly.

Best Time to Fly to Los Angeles

January through March and the September-October shoulder offer the lowest fares. Avoid summer and the December holidays when leisure demand peaks.
