Booking
United Airlines flies to Los Angeles from most of its US hubs with nonstop service all day long. LAX is one of the airline's top domestic destinations, and you can get there from Newark, Chicago, Denver, Houston, San Francisco, and Washington Dulles without a connection. Fares vary by season, but finding a good deal is straightforward if you plan a few weeks out.
Cheapest Months to Travel
January, February, September typically offer the lowest fares for United flights to Los Angeles. These months fall outside peak travel demand, so you'll find better prices and more seat availability.
Peak Travel Seasons to Avoid
Summer months (June through August) and holiday weeks around Thanksgiving and Christmas see the highest fares. Spring break in March can also push prices up on this route.
Best Time to Book
Booking 3 to 6 weeks ahead usually gets the best balance of price and seat availability for domestic flights to LA. For holiday travel, 2 to 3 months out is safer.
Midweek Advantage
Tuesday and Wednesday departures consistently show lower fares to LAX compared to Friday and Sunday flights, sometimes by $40 to $80 round trip.
Time Zone Note
Los Angeles runs on Pacific Time, which is 3 hours behind the East Coast (ET). Red-eye flights from LAX to the East Coast are popular since you land early morning and don't lose a workday.
