FAQs - booking California flights

  • Which airport is closest to Sacramento?

    Sacramento is the state capital of California and lies midway between the San Rafael to the west and Lake Tahoe to the east. If you wish to visit the city, you should look for a flight to California that lands in San Francisco which is about 145 km away or about 1h 20min by car via the I-80 East.

  • I wish to visit Joshua Tree National Park. Which airport should I use?

    Joshua Tree National Park lies in the south-central region of California, just south of Bernardino and is accessible from either San Diego Airport or LAX. From LAX it’s a 2h drive to get there, but from San Diego Airport it will take about 2h 30min, so flying into LAX is the better option.

  • Can I get a direct flight from Canada to California?

    There are only two Canadian airports that offer direct flights to California and both of them are on the West Coast. These are Victoria Airport and Vancouver International Airport (YVR). Of these two, only Vancouver International Airport offers direct flights to LAX (via Air Canada and WestJet), San Francisco (via ANA) and Santa Ana Orange County Airport (via WestJet).

  • Should I fly into LAX if I plan to visit Yosemite National Park?

    If you fly into LAX you will then have to drive about 4h 30min to get to the iconic California landmark in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. However, if you book your flight to arrive at the San Francisco Airport, the drive time is reduced to just over 3h, so SFO is the better choice.

  • How long is the flight to California?

    An average direct flight from Canada to California takes 5h 58m, covering a distance of 4442 km. The most popular route is Toronto - Los Angeles with an average flight time of 5h 19m.

  • What is the cheapest flight to California?

    The cheapest ticket to California from Canada found in the last 72 hours was C$ 97 one-way, and C$ 140 round-trip. The most popular route is Toronto Pearson Intl to Los Angeles and the cheapest round-trip airline ticket found on this route in the last 72 hours was C$ 269.

  • Which airlines fly to California?

    Air Canada, United Airlines & Air New Zealand fly the most frequently from Canada to California.

  • What are the most popular destinations in California?

    The next most popular destinations are San Francisco (19%) and Palm Springs (12%). Searches for flights to Ontario (11%), to San Diego (9%) and to John Wayne (Santa Ana) (4%) are also popular.

  • How does KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a given destination and date is likely to change within 7 days, so travellers know whether to wait or book now.

Everything was fantastic! The crew really went above and beyond to make it a great flight. I felt cared for with EVA.

All went well with my flight I would recommend this to anyone who asked how my flight was

Pros: "Liked I got an aisle seat. But we should have that choice as we are purchasing the ticket"
Cons: "The boarding in lax"
Pros: "Flight perfectly on time. Crew not too friendly (Chinese style), but attentive and helpful."
Cons: "On this B777-300, the large Economy Premium is not quite up to the standard of other airlines flying the same model. The tray table, stored in the arm-rest on all rows, is tiny, and opens only a few inches, not enough for pregnant women or gentlemen with some mid-section padding. I could not use it at all, and had to balance my meals on my knees. Besides, when the passenger in front reclines his/her seat, the seat invades totally the space of the passenger in the back. I felt the passenger was resting on my lap. Forget using a laptop, or even reading a book: just watch your screen, a couple inches from your nose. Good for short-sighted people only! I tried EVA and was disappointed. I'll go back to my preferred airline, Vietnam Airlines."
Pros: "The whole experience was amazing. For a long flight, I was expecting to be miserable. But I was oddly satisfied. From the nice spacious seats, the the smorgasbord of food (never been fed so much on an airplane) to the excellent staff service I was impressed. Even the bathrooms were clean!"
Cons: "I wish I could’ve chosen to have my meal later. I didn’t ask but it would be nice to have that option since I wanted to sleep when they handed out dinner."
Pros: "Overall in-flight experience was smooth. Check in (online and at-the-counter) were convenient. Staff were courteous."
Cons: "Maybe provide snacks to travelers during flight."
Cons: "The flight departed over one hour late from SFO and caused a mis-connection at Taipei,"
Pros: "Very accomodating crew. One of the nicer airlines I’ve flown on. Newer, well maintained clean aircraft."
Pros: "Fast boarding (group 1), pleasant crew, good service. Altogether, a great company to fly with."
Cons: "Food so so but want expecting much. No personal monitor."
Pros: "Good international films. Food was ok."
Cons: "First time the bathrooms did not feel or smell fresh. I fly EVA because of the way they keep their bathrooms clean."

Average flight for which I paid too much for on a last minute purchase.

Pros: "Boarding was quick and easy. Blankets and pillows were ample and already at the seat."
Cons: "Food was worse than what I had come to expect from Cathay Pacific. Drinks were less frequent. Restroom facilities were not well kept over the course of the flight."
Pros: "The crew went above and beyond the meet my needs. I requested the Cathay draft beer Betsy which wasn't loaded, unfortunately, but the crew managed to find one in economy."
Cons: "It was annoying the entertainment content on the A350 and 777-300ER were slightly different. I was watching a show but could not finish it."
Pros: "Well fed and provided beverages on trip. Food not gourmet----but what do you expect? Crew was pleasant and helpful."
Cons: "Sure could use a little more leg room. I am 6'2"--so know I am taller than the average bear, but I think even a 5"8" man or woman finds the legroom a little tight---especially on a 15hr flight. On a 3 to 5 hour flight--OK. The legroom was durable--but you asked waht could be better and that point sticks out in my mind."
Pros: "Seat worked as designed Got some sleep Crew was helpful"
Cons: "Better selection of movies; too much violence, foul language, sex and nudity - a better reflection of the food life."
Cons: "Would be nice if they offered hot towels for the Economy passengers."
Pros: "food was good"
Cons: "I don't like cameras spying on us. More leg room."
Pros: "the crew was professional and efficient on board the plane."
Cons: "seat space was tight. it was hard to get comfortable"
Pros: "Service, food, excellent. Most of all, the new entertainment system & window in bathroom!"
Cons: "1. Business class crew stomped around the cabin, making it noisy, and woke me up constantly. 2. Gallery is very loud and badly situated in business class. 3. Chair itself is old & although it’s lie-flat, makes a very uncomfortable night’s sleep."
Pros: "CX crews are professional as they are very customer oriented"
Cons: "The ground services in Melbourne airport was really bad! Chaotic arrangements for boarding and especially unpleasant staffs!"

We were very happy with Westjet and would choose them again. We wish they included seat & luggage in total price instead of extra. Just give us the total cost.

The staff and crew at all points were warm and professional. The Westjet app was a plus.

Pros: "It was all very standard- crew was nice, plenty of food"
Cons: "the system for checking bags at Paris CDG was really bad. The Kiosks to print bag tags were really hard to use - esp for older folks."
Cons: "Everything was fine except every time I come here we have to wait for a gate for 15 min or longer. A real drag."
Pros: "The usual efficient, friendly WestJet crew. Nice to fly in one of the new Dreamliner. Super smooth landing."
Cons: "Nothing."
Pros: "Crew and staff at gate fantastic. Accommodated me sitting with partner on both legs (booked flights separately)."
Cons: "Flight was delayed. Always tough late at night."
Cons: "flight was delayed 2 hours, could have been some better communication on the delay"
Pros: "Excellent airplane, the Dreamliner is amazing with great leg room (I'm 6' 1") comfortable seats and head rest, great lighting and an extensive entertainment system! Crew was efficient."
Cons: "The food was terrible. Cardboard packages that contained tasteless meals."
Pros: "Seat wasn't great but on time boarding was awesome"
Pros: "Left early and arrived early"
Cons: "Cabin was way too warm. Also not as much space on 737-700 as 737-800"

Rude flight attendant. No complimentary snacks available. Refused a refill of juice. Restrooms dirty.

Flight was delayed by 2.5 hours heading to Chicago. Everything else was great

Flight was well done. Food and entertainment good. Staff super nice. My Lufthansa flight was cancelled and ended up here unexpectedly- and it went much better than I had feared.

Plus; Easy check in. Organized and efficient crew. Minus; Legroom on plane. Wiped down armrests and tray table with a Clorox wipe and wipe showed more dirt than I thought was there.

The crew is not good at all AC124 , no comfortable seating and the screen touch is horrible. Not friendly staff at all.

it was fine. i was just in a middle seat so comfort wasn't great of course

Cons: "The flight was delayed by 3 hours making me late for the next two flights and ultimately costing me an entire day longer in transit. While I understand these things happen, Air Canada's response to me asking for help was abysmal. Ultimately, they didn't care and told me it was my problem. Sadly, one of the first people I talked to really did want to help and arranged flights that would have gotten me back on track but he was prevented from confirming the changes due to management. I will never fly with Air Canada ever again."
Cons: "They didn't offer any compliment food, no water to wash hands in bathroom (had to ask for sanitizer), staff seemed grumpy"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "This was probably the worst handled flight I have been on; there was first a slight delay, then a longer delay, then a much longer delay, all of which one could find out only after checking online; there were no announcements about the delay until after the scheduled time of departure; then there was another announcement that there was a mechanical problem and we'll be apprised of the situation at 7pm (the flight was scheduled at 6:25). The person at the counter disappeared. At 7:30, the gate changed to a different flight altogether--still no announcement, still no person at the gate. When a different person finally appeared and I asked her what happened to the Pittsburgh flight, she said, it's here, it'll be departing at this precise gate shortly. At that exact time, the PA system had an announcement that the flight to Pittsburgh is now scheduled at gate 86 at 7.01 (yes, 7:01, even though it was already after 7:30). When we went to gate 86, there, of course, was another flight there. After waiting some more, the woman at the first counter now appeared at gate 86 and said the flight was to be at gate 88. Until the very end when we boarded, gate 88 continued to say the flight was to Columbus. Absolutely abysmal customer service. (Even the boarding was handled badly, but at that time we didn't even care.) I am never recommending Air Canada."
Pros: "Everything went very smoothly with this flight. It boarded on time. The crew were all very friendly. I enjoyed the entertainment selections and found a tv show that I had been wanting to see. I managed to watch 2 episodes and look forward to watching more of the same show on my flight back. I ended up having the 2 seats to myself which was great. Extra legroom. I have no complaints at all."

My wallet fell out of my pocket ( my fault). Staff claimed they looked while cleaning. Said they didn't find it, but was actually found in Washington DC on the plane. Which mean either they didn't look or don't do a good job of cleaning. Now I have to pay 27 dollars to get it shipped back and have no wallet for my entire vacation

Nothing. I flew business class. I always try to avoid air Canada because it’s the worst airline and it’s proven on international level. Sad and embarrassing…

Pros: "I didn’t die."
Cons: "I researched United’s, FAA, and my car seat company website before trying to board with it. I was told by flight attendant that I could only bring the car seat on board if it had a sticker? I don’t know what sticker she was referring to and it’s tough to keep a toddler safe with just a lap belt"
Pros: "Crew from the second plane we changed was great!"
Cons: "The organization skills. After and emergency landing all passangers were left to wait for hours STANDING in line without any official annoucement. After midnight. No one told us how long is going to be the wait time, or more info about the new plane. Disorganized."
Pros: "The crew on the flight were very friendly, very attentive and always smiling. They took great care of the passengers and in particular a woman with a crying baby. It didn't bother me at all, but I know the parents were concerned and the flight attendants were so kind and helpful. The food was truly fantastic, and served hot and with a smile. They repeatedly asked us about water, as the cabin was dry. I would give the crew an A+!"
Cons: "My husband and I have not flown for several years and have always enjoyed past flights. However, it seems as if the seats have much less leg room than years ago. I am only 5 foot 4 inches, and was very uncomfortable. My husband is 6 feet tall and he was miserable. Sleeping on this 9 hour flight would have been helpful, but due to the cramped seating, it was pretty much impossible. The little pillow and blanket did help with some back support, but I guess making more money per flight is more important than comfort."
Pros: "FOOD WAS DECENT"
Cons: "MISSING CONNECTION. BEING LATE GETTING TO OUR HOTEL IN PROVENCE."
Pros: "Staff was friendly, courteous, and generally concerned with our well-being."
Cons: "Economy seats were not terribly comfortable, but that is not unusual."
Cons: "Unfortunately flight was delayed for 2 hours on top of a 3h42m layover"
Pros: "I like the food and the movies you could watch on your phone. The United app."
Cons: "Don't have a negative feedback."
Pros: "Fast and easy check-in. Attentive service. Good food. Great wine. Speedy baggage service."
Cons: "TSA absolutely sucks at LGA. TSA shut down all lanes except Precheck for a crew switch, and I almost missed my flight! Awful. Someone should be fired for causing the delay today. Everyone was angry and stressed out."
