Top tips for finding cheap flights to California

  • If your goal is to get from Victoria, British Columbia, to California, you’re going to have to make your way through Victoria International Airport (YYJ) to do it. There are a bunch of airlines that fly from Victoria International Airport to California, including options like Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, and WestJet. You’ll also need to decide which California airport you’ll fly to, with Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO) being two of the best options.
  • When flying from Victoria to California, you will be able to get there within about four hours in some cases. However, you will not be able to catch a direct flight from Victoria International Airport to any of the airports in California. Instead, you’ll need to prepare to make at least one stop on the way to your final destination. Try to track down an airline that only makes one stop with a short layover to trim your travel time.
  • You might not be someone who flies first class all the time, but flying from Victoria to California will provide you with a great opportunity to do it. Don’t book a first-class ticket right away, though. Book an economy ticket and then keep an eye out for emails sent by your airline about your flight. They might be willing to extend discounts on first-class tickets.
  • If you plan to stay in California for a long stretch after flying there from Victoria, you may not be able to avoid bringing a few suitcases with you. But, if possible, you should limit how much luggage you bring to Victoria International Airport, since every checked bag will increase your travel costs.
  • You’ll need to arrive at Victoria International Airport at least two to three hours in advance for your international flight to a California airport. But that doesn’t mean you need to show up at Victoria International Airport and simply sit there for hours on end. There are several lounges in the airport you can hang out in as you wait for your flight to California to board.

Made up time on a late flight and made the connection

This is the best experience I've had since I started flying with Alaska Airlines; excellent in every way.

No healthy food choices. There was no in flight entertainment .

Despite several unexpected stops and delays due to health conditions of the passengers, the flight was smooth and comfortable. The pilots and flight attendants did a great job of controlling a hectic situation and still being attentive to the customers.

See what I wrote in the previous section. This was a terrible experience. I would like refund.. I even paid an extra $70 for an aisle seat closer to the front to ensure that I got off early enough to catch the next flight. The fact that the plane did not wait, and even left eearlier, knowing that the first flight came in late, and was moved to a terminal three train stops away is appalling. My friend that flew JetBlue, their flight was delayed and came in later and the connecting flight WAITED for them. How is it that JetBlue could do that, and Alaska could not.

The seat on the plane out was broken and would not lean back. I have back problems and sitting up straight was hard on my lower back and caused pain for over half the flight. Since I paid extra for First Class so I would not have these issues. This needs to be addressed.

No headphones provided. No gf food. Only 1 beverage cart run sAN to HNL. Rarely saw crew members

The check-in crew for Alaska was rude, unhelpful, and the opposite of customer-centric. We arrived 50 minutes before our flight and were told it was too late to check baggage. When I asked what the cutoff was, the agent started speaking in codes “D50” and yelling to their manager who also spoke in codes. They then tried to speak to me using these codes and all I wanted to know was the time of the cutoff, which they would not — or could not — articulate. They booked me and my family on the next flight while smirking.

Generally Good. Outbound flight was marred by a continuously s creaming baby. Fortunately the flight was only 90 mins long it would be nice if people traveling with small childres could be centered in one part of the plane. Also, you need to adapt your servey to include a "not applicable " option for things like food and entertainment, which are not offered on shorter flights. I fily Alaska by choice as given all the cirumstances, I fel\el you do a good job.

The pricing was split into an ultra basic fare with a comfort seat upgrade. This is misleading. Never were we shown an ultra basic fare. What this did because the fare category was ultra basic we could not bid on an upgrade first class seat. All e mails from WestJet were for ultra basic category with my wife and I upset as we could not confirm this with anyone from your firm.The check in counter were not going to allow our carry on but after some checking saw we had ultra basic and a comfort seat upgrade. They could not figure out how this was done. Now we have to go through this again at the gate in Mexico. Unless I missed it - please let customers know the billing in future. Respectfully. Gary & Nancy Moughtin

I wasn’t checked in for the third leg of my flight, my bag was checked through to Dublin but when I went to the gate in Toronto they said I wasn’t on the flight and had given my seat away. I had to wait 24 hours for another flight and instead on the one I had booked it was now 2 flights.

The agents at the Kelowna YLW airport were really grumpy. Same with oversized baggage person. Staff on the plane were great.

Great flight, great landing, nice staff. Our seats were a little cramped.

Overall good experience. The wait for baggage at our destination was quite long, but other than that everything was good as expected

Our biggest complaint was a major schedule change that was not communicated to us in any way. Luckily the time change went later not earlier so we did not miss the flight. Our email addresses and phone numbers were on file but we received no email no text message no nothing. Short flight so not much to say.

The check in was quick but the counter person didn’t inform me that the flight was delayed. I was also not informed of the boarding gate. When the plane landed there was a mixup at the gate with the ramp crew which delayed the flight further. All in all the experience didn’t meet the standard I’ve come to expect from WestJet

Again, flight was late. It’s expected of this airline now i guess.

Do not fly on WestJet if you have a connection. It failed to integrate with my connecting Delta flight and I almost missed it.

There was a man who was very rude at boarding. On the other hand personal bag measuring box is too small compared to USA airlines,

Boarding went smoothly and on time. No entertainment system and only a cookie for breakfast.

The plane was delayed an hour. Heard from other passengers that the Vancouver connection to SFO was never on-time.

there was no food or entertainment on that short 1.5 hour flight unless you mean the cookie and the overhead announcements... Those Q-400's are the workhorse of the rugged coast and mountains for sure.

I knew I was going to fall asleep unsettlingly from exhaustion so I warned the guy next to me in advance. The attendant took to checking on me frequently and even insisted I take my snack because I said no while sleep hazed and then absolutely wanted it about 5 minutes later. He was So caring and kind to my situation!!

All good great price seating very cramped but overall very good

The experience was satisfactory. The plane was full and took awhile to embark and disembark. On a 4 hour flight, there is not much you can do. my return flight was in the very last row on the plane but was adequate.

Overall great. The crews were lovely. The seats are awful. I always emerge with a back ache.

Flight was not affected by the Air Canada strike. Complimentary beer and wine offered on flight.

I paid for comfort plus seats but did not get the extra leg room. When I told the stewardess, she just ignored me.

Bad experience. My checked bag was lost during this direct flight….how does that even happen?
