Houston to Los Angeles Travel Guide

People may associate Los Angeles with movie stars, glitz and glamour, but when you arrive here you find that it's actually a diverse collection of neighborhoods. That upscale vibe, with the designer clothing stores and the fancy restaurants, is concentrated in the West Hollywood and Beverly Hills areas. Downtown is home to an eclectic art scene, while the beach areas are more casual and give you the chance to soak up some sun or stroll down the boardwalk. There's no shortage of direct flights from Houston to Los Angeles, and the flight only takes a little over three hours.

If you want to see how movies and TV shows are made while in Los Angeles, the best place to go is actually Burbank, not Hollywood, as there are studio tours available at Warner Bros. Universal Studios has some movie sets of its own and plenty of exciting rides. No trip to Southern California is complete without a trip to the beach, and Los Angeles has several fun options. Santa Monica is a popular choice, while Venice is a bit wilder. If you're used to that Houston humidity, the dry heat of Los Angeles is a nice change of pace.

Come see all the different neighborhoods and attractions Los Angeles has to offer. Enter your trip details into our smart search engine to see the cheap flights from Houston to LA.

For example, United Airlines has brought in newer aircraft with great fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.

Similarly, American Airlines has retired most of their old fleet and replaced them with newer aircraft with the latest engine and airframe technologies.

  • How can I fly more sustainably from Houston to Los Angeles?

    There are a number of steps you can take as a passenger to ensure your flight to Los Angeles from Houston is eco-friendly. First, since there’s a direct flight option, choose it over a connecting flight. A direct flight uses less fuel since it only needs to take off and land once. You can also avoid over-packing. Only pack what is necessary, or better yet, stick to the airline’s baggage weight limit. This way, you can avoid overloading the aircraft since overloaded aircraft use more fuel to fly. Instead of relying on the airline’s disposable products, bring your own to minimize any waste. Bring your own headphones and reusable water bottle to avoid using the disposable options onboard. Finally, book your flight with airlines that give precedence to sustainable travel.
