Dallas to California Travel Guide

California welcomes visitors from around the country and the world to explore its miles of coastline. From the vineyards of the Napa Valley to the star-lined walks of Hollywood, California offers a veritable wonderland of opportunities for those who make it a part of their travel plans. Whether you're flying in to take in the Redwood Forest and the Golden Gate Bridge, or your plans include visiting Disneyland or Universal studios, there are multiple flights available. Flights from Dallas to Los Angeles, San Francisco and other top destinations are easy to find on Cheapflights.

Dallas has a lot in common with California's major cities, boasting a vibrant urban attitude that you'll also find in your destination city if you plan on visiting San Diego, San Francisco or Los Angeles. However, where Dallas is often hot and humid throughout the summer months, you'll find more pleasant temperatures and cooling evening ocean breezes along California's golden coast, making a summertime vacation in California an ideal option for Dallas denizens. Before you go, research both your departure and your destination airports so you can plan ahead. Some of the things you'll want to keep in mind for Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is parking costs, alternate transportation and how much time you'll need to make it through security. Airports typically recommend at least two hours before your scheduled flight. Many of California's airports are bustling, with LAX being among the tops in the nation in terms of arriving flights and sheer capacity. Traffic in and around the major cities can be daunting, so you might want to consider a shuttle service or taxi for getting to your hotel from the airport, although all major California airports offer rental car service, often onsite.

Search for your cheap flights using our simple search engine, and find flights and fares for your chosen California destination from Dallas in just a few quick clicks.
