Overview
California’s largest city is a sun-soaked metropolis leading the way in culture, media and business. Every year millions of tourists take cheap flights to Los Angeles to experience the diversity, beach life, museums and galleries, cutting-edge architecture, fantastic cuisine and sheer star power of this city.
Los Angeles’s landmarks are instantly recognisable – the giant Hollywood sign in the hills, Disneyland, Mann’s Chinese Theater and the brass stars in the pavement along Hollywood Boulevard. LA might have a reputation for being superficial, but visitors will discover that it has a cultural heart. It boasts the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Getty Centre, which has one of the greatest art collections in the world, and Museum of Latin American Art, which shows contemporary Latino material.
The beaches are where the West-Coast vibe can be experienced and where the honed and toned work out. “South Bay” beach towns are beautiful and include Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach. Santa Monica Beach and Pier are also popular places to catch some rays and people watch.
How long is the flight to Los Angeles?
Flights to Los Angeles, California from Canada range from about 3h-9h. The length of your flight will depend on your departure city.

If you’re flying out of a city in the eastern provinces, however, such as Toronto or Montreal, you’ll likely have a flight time on the longer end of the spectrum. Your flight time will also be affected by the number and length of any stopovers.

Air Canada and United Airlines also offer daily direct flights to Los Angeles from Montreal. If your flight is not direct, you can expect to stopovers in common layover cities for this route like Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, and/or Denver.
