Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Baggage, seats and classes on the New York to Los Angeles flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from New York to Los Angeles. Full-service fares typically include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request

Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.

If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

How much is a flight from New York to Los Angeles?

"How much is the New York to Los Angeles flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours provides the current cost for your date shortly afterwards of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the electronic ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.
