Trip from Florida to LA

[jjune4991]

Robb and Elissa (and anyone else who would like to input), I am thinking of going to LA in December to visit my uncle. I know that Elissa lived in Florida, so you two must visit often (or whenever). Could you give me some tips on flights, i.e. preferred flights, times (I was thinking a weekend, but if we try and do a couple of parks, what days would be best), and airports in LA would be cheaper (I will be flying out of either Orlando or West Palm Beach). I would ask info on the parks there at that time, but I know it has been addressed somewhere else in this forum, so I won't waste your time. Thank you in advance, Joe.

Orlando is always cheaper than West Palm. If you are planning on flying out of Orlando there are usually flights non-stop to LAX in the $250 - $300 range round trip. I usually like the ones that leave orlando at 7am and get in early morning in LA so you have the whole day. Other cheap options to fly out of is Fort Lauderdale. They have cheap directs to Long Beach on JetBlue.

 

Play around on Orbitz and you will see all the different options..

^What he said.

 

Orlando is usually one of the cheapest Florida airports followed by some of the 'special' carriers out of FLL. (Virgin America, Jet Blue, etc.)

 

Usually LAX will be the cheapest of the Los Angeles airports and will also have the most flights available. Sometimes you may find a deal to Long Beach or Ontario.

 

You said December, not sure if you mean holiday time, but expect to pay up to $300 for offseason and around $500 for holidays.

I was thinking about the weekend of the 10th. That is 2 weeks before Christmas, so I figured it wouldn't be too expensive. Thank you for your help, and hopefully I can find a good flight.
