We paid $161 for two exit row seats thinking there’d be extra leg room and not be cramped! The price we paid was a rip-off for these seats and the plane was extremely narrow and cramped. The male crew were okay but not super-friendly. When we picked up our luggage at baggage claim, someone ripped my luggage with a knife or blunt object and destroyed it!! I will be filling a claim for this and took pictures. I heard great reviews about this airline but am disappointed.

Ready to trade in the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple for the relaxed vibe of LA? With over 47 million visitors annually, you're in good company. Sunny So-Cal offers a vast array of activities, from hitting the beach and hiking the Hollywood Hills to shopping on Rodeo Drive and spotting celebrities. Several direct flights per day connect these two major cities, whether you're traveling on business or for pleasure.
They're both large cities with famous landmarks, great theater and delicious food, but New York City and LA boast several differences. LA and New York City both put off an exciting vibe, but NYC is much more fast-paced, while LA has a more laid back vibe. When you land in LA, you'll notice a lot more greenery and natural beauty. You have palm trees lining the streets, beautiful canyons and, of course, the beach. The beautiful weather year-round lets you get out and enjoy that natural beauty without the bitter cold and snow of New York City. Getting around the city is also a little different. New Yorkers may miss their public transit in LA. The city is much more car-focused than public-transit obsessed, so plan to rent a car to get where you want to go. Seemingly endless suburbs form a patchwork of exciting options for your trip. Visit the Hollywood Hills for a touch of nature. Beverly Hills gives you a chance to cruise down Rodeo Drive. Catch a glimpse of the rich life in Bel Air and Brentwood. You also have many beach options, including Hermosa Beach, Long Beach, Malibu and Redondo Beach.
LA offers up diverse experiences far beyond its celebrity image. Find cheap flights from New York City to Los Angeles using our smart search engine to experience that diversity for yourself.
