Fares to LAX from across the US
April 17, 2009
I wanted to give everyone an update on how fares are looking across the US from various of the main city hubs. The below reflects a general search for flights that arrive in Los Angeles on Saturday, December 19, and depart from Los Angeles on Wednesday, December 23.
NYC –>LAX: The nonstop fares here are still holding steady for a total of $379.00 roundtrip (including all taxes and surcharges). One-stop flights are about the same. However, a reminder that JetBlue has recently opened a flight route from JFK to LAX. JetBlue hasn’t yet opened booking for December ’09 yet, but you should expect them to do so by June 1st. I’ll provide an update when they open up the dates.
BOS–>LAX: Current low fares for a roundtrip from Boston to Los Angeles are at $407.79 (including all taxes and surcharges). JetBlue has also recently opened up a flight route from Boston to Los Angeles, so we will again need to wait and see what presumably lower fares they’ll offer once sales open up.
IAD/DCA–>LAX: The fares for Washington DC flights are a bit higher at $479.00 nonstop, though with a layover it goes down to $439. If you fly out of Reagan, the cheapest ticket with one layover is $379.80 roundtrip, which is comparable to our NYC flights, but without a layover it’s about the same as Dulles. JetBlue also flies from Dulles to LAX, so I’ll report on fares when they open in June.
CHI–>LAX: Chicago flights are all hovering around the $437.00 line for one-stop flights, and $446.99 line for non-stop flights. I’m not sure whether these prices have gone up or down compared to recent months as this is the first time I’ve really looked into Chicago. Sadly, JetBlue does not fly Chicago to Los Angeles.
This is the most recent overview–I will have more in the months to come and will report back once JetBlue opens up its December options. If you hear of any good flight deals to Los Angeles, let us know! You can add comments below.
