No idea why people are putting the area down, just spent three weeks there and it is utterly fantastic, miles better than Orlando.

.....and head to Northern California, otherwise prepare to be in 5 lanes of congested traffic heading further into the scrubland 'delights' of Orange County, Riverside and San Bernardino.



Of course, unless you are passionate about seeing areas GTA V are based on and enjoy the picturesque views of where Trevor lives....

Land and get away from LA as quickly as possibly :sunglasses:

aargh going to LA in May but one way only, was planning on using Thomas Cook, although be warned their carry on luggage allowance is practically none existent.

mike

As far as I believe 23kg hold baggage is included on long haul. Could be wrong

Regardless, great offer. Especially that it's from Manchester

1 checked bag included on long haul

Booked - thanks OP.

West coast here we come. Can't go wrong for under £300. The planes are okay, went to Florida this year with them, no issues.

Definitely includes some hold baggage, btw.

£9.90 Quidco on this, too.

I'm going to California on honeymoon next September, very tempted to book at this price, £800 pp return for premium seats. Anyone know how this compares to other airlines prices? Worth holding off for a deal in the new year?

Cheers Op. Managed to persuade the wife. Taking to kids to the US for the first time. :sunglasses:

Well obviously compared to Birmingham it's a great big dump. But I live on a remote Scottish island so most things are far more beautiful than I see every day. :stuck_out_tongue:

Next time you go, save up for a car and drive around. The place is stunning

I have been around in a car, every time I have been there...have you been to Orange County? Riverside? San Bernardino? The 'beauty' of downtown Hollywood that looks like Small Heath, Birmingham.

If it was like premium to cancun it wasn't great.

£300 including bags good deal, but all depends on aircraft if going for upgraded seats.

Ba virgin only allow 23 kg each now, its a pity Thomas cook don't have any dreamliners like thomsons

For £300 its a bargain

ive booked fly into la and leave las vegas.

What's the weather like then?

Within a drive of LA you've got Northern CA, Pacific Coast Highway, Yosemite, Sequoia, Palm Springs, San Diego - all worth visiting.

Is this deal still available? when I'm searching from manchester 13th march until 20th march price is £600+

Having just got back from LA via Norwegian (who I love) for £480 return, this seems a good deal. Norwegian use a new dream liner, and on the 2 USA trips I have used them have been excellent. I would be cautious of what plane TC used but you can't sniff at £300 return!

Ref LA, talk about the most overrated place in the world. I was really unimpressed and wished I'd spent another night in Vegas.

San Diego, was lovely. So, my tip for 2p. Fly into LA. Head down to SD and follow the coast all the way up to San Francisco, then fly to Vegas, enjoy a blur of sleepless nights then fly back to LA and home. That's my plan for next year!

You can get San Fran flights for £230 cicobuff? Tell me where, that would be a real bargain.

Palm Springs appeals more for the beautiful valley, and the mountain aerial tramway thing. I appreciate it has limited appeal, but i enjoyed it.

Thanks OP, been wanting to book for a long time but have been waiting for this price.

I think you looking at £229, but that is just one-way

Ah but that's just the outbound leg to SFO. You had me worried. I'd agree SFO would be preferable, but you can't knock £300 return to LA.

no good if you live in the south. Manchester is far away.

As someone in his early 30's, I found LA was a very strange place. It's a city where you really need a friends there, otherwise you will think it's a dump. The tourists attractions are a disgrace - the walk of fame was one of the worse place I've ever been in my life. It's not even in the slightest bit worth visiting, unless you're a complete moron and haven't travelled.

Even Malibu feels like highway along the coast, with the odd high-end restaurant.. unless you have people that know where to go and then its another world. Manhattan beach is worth a visit, as it feels quite 'Californian'.

It's worth visiting for a few days, then drive to Vegas and the grand canyon.

the SanFran flash sale, and this LA flash sale were exact same price.

Check this video of the LA freeways yesterday as EVERYONE headed home for Thanksgiving. Even those of you used to the M25 will shudder. https://www.youtube.com/embed/rnGlYG8UjFk

Great deal gone for it

Has LA beenTrumped yet

According to seatguru, they should be using Airbus A330-200's for these flights.

Superb. :smiley:

I too have cousins in LA (south Pasadena), I've also been quite a few times & LA, San Deigo & Santa Cruz are the collest places i've ever been!! LA is the best city on earth imo. I'm a massive film fan so that might be the reason (visit alot of film locations).

people are referring to LA, if you get a car and drive around, this insinuates you are driving to places outside LA, which most would be in agreement are great, however LA itself is a complete hole

He wasn't

22m people live within two hours of MAN. Me included :wink:

Some people are only happy when they are moaning.
100 years ago or even less people hardly left their own village or country.
As you know, travel was only for the rich ...

Nothing wrong with Manchester mate. I love my home city

Don't think you know how lucky you are getting to visit that "scrubland dump" so many times! Great place!

Which ones did you visit?



Great place, definitely not a dump. Walk of fame is definitely awful though, terrible area. Malibu is highway at the end of the day, with a few nice homes thrown in along the way to look at and many of the beaches along the way are definitely worth a visit. Loads of beaches to choose from, though Manhattan definitely is a winner. The others are not bad either, but different vibes from each of them.

Which ones did you visit?
Nakatomi Plaza, Board walk venice (Fallen Down), Flood canels (T2), Back to the Future mainly (WGB 2015) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QipxrlLTMvU

And Lost Boys (Santa Cruz) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fny-rWuL6mc&t=18s

Considering I have relatives and a wife from SoCal I know exactly all about the scrubland dump, I view it as that, many other people do not like it...if you do fair enough.
