The flight attendant on the flight was extremely unprofessional and obnoxious. He treated the entire plane as if we were on a seventh grade camping trip. He thought he was funny but was actually rude to us while we were on the ground waiting to continue to our final stop. It was like being stuck with a bad comedian for four solid hours. We flew from Chicago to Long Beach to Reno over 5 hours and they did not have any food other then graham crackers. Because of being delayed no one had time to get food in the airport between flights. Terrible experience and Southwest should look into this crew member.

California never ceases to draw Texas visitors in with its vibrant beach cities, coastal wilderness parks and star-studded streets. Whatever type of Pacific-coast vacation you crave, flying to California is always a good choice. Plus, with most direct flights hovering around three hours, and with plenty of airport choices on both ends of the trip, you can find the perfect flight from Texas to California in minutes.
Texas may have its wide open spaces, BBQ grills and rodeos, but few can resist the temptation to escape the state for a while, trading rugged Texas terrain for the redwood forests or sprawling beaches of sunny California. If you're headed to the Los Angeles area, be sure to embark on a whale-watching cruise from Long Beach or stroll along the Hollywood Walk of Fame. If San Diego is your destination, check out the marine mammals at Sea World. Headed to Yosemite, Sequoia or one of the state's other pristine National Parks? A good idea is to use the shuttle to and within the park to avoid headaches. California enjoys mild weather year-round, but winters can get chilly, especially north along the coast. Come prepared with jeans, closed shoes and a light jacket for a fall or winter trip.
Book your flight from Texas to California today, and start dreaming of your vacation on the Pacific. Be sure to try our smart search engine to quickly find your flight.
