LAX and regional alternatives
LAX serves extensive international and domestic networks. Burbank, Long Beach, Ontario and Orange County airports can be practical for specific parts of the metropolitan region.
A smaller airport may reduce ground travel, but it can require a domestic connection or separate ticket.
Flight planning
Plan long-haul connections realistically
Compare nonstop flights with connections by total elapsed time and arrival hour. After a long journey, late-night ground transport across Los Angeles can be a major consideration.
For an onward US flight, allow for immigration, customs, baggage and terminal movement at the first US gateway.
Flight planning
Baggage and ticket structure
Check whether checked baggage is included and whether different operating airlines apply different cabin limits.
Separate-ticket positioning flights require a larger buffer because disruption protection may not carry across bookings.
