Looking for cheap flights to Los Angeles from Canada? Globehunters can help you find exactly what you need.
Whether you know it as Tinseltown, the City of Angels or even “La La Land”, pretty much everyone on Earth has heard of Los Angeles. Hollywood has put LA on the map as the home of the world’s most rich and famous movie stars and entertainers as well as some truly spectacular scenery and shopping. Why not enjoy the thrills and spills of the original Disneyland before celebrity-spotting in Beverly Hills and the Sunset Strip. Then finally, hit the surf for some California Dreamin’ of your own.
But don’t be fooled into thinking you know LA simply because of what you’ve seen on the big screen. There are plenty of surprises for anyone who hasn’t visited before, and the sheer size of the city itself is hard to imagine until you actually see it. Los Angeles is the USA’s second most densely populated city but it’s very spread out and is held together by a network of large freeways. Each suburb of LA has its own culture, history and values and if you take the time to come back from the skyscrapers, downtown LA has a very Latino vibe to it. As such, the food you come across varies massively, with plenty of Mexican heat added into the mix, then, as you approach west of downtown you’ll find the classy eateries fit for a Hollywood star.
So whether you’re looking to treat your family to the glittering energetic vacation of a lifetime or you’re a couple simply wanting to kick back and relax then why not take a look at our full range of flights today. We can also offer first class and business class options too.
