Getting there

There is a nonstop flight from New York (JFK), about 5.5 hours in the air.

Los Angeles (LAX) has nonstops from New York JFK, Newark, Miami, Chicago O'Hare, Toronto, London Heathrow, Paris Charles de Gaulle and Tel Aviv.

Most guests fly into Los Angeles International, about 20 minutes away, or drive from elsewhere in Southern California.

Routes come from each airport’s published route list, checked October 2026. Flight times are estimates from the distance. Airlines change schedules, so confirm before you book (route list we used).

From the airport

  • Los Angeles International Airport (LAX): about 20 minutes by carVery close, straight up the coast.
  • Long Beach Airport (LGB): about 30 minutes by carA small, easy airport with fewer routes.

Driving instead

  • From Los Angeles: about 0.6 hours
  • From San Diego: about 2 hours
  • From Las Vegas: about 4.5 hours
  • From Phoenix: about 5.75 hours

Late April weather

Mild and often sunny, with days around 68°F (20°C) and nights near 55°F (13°C); the Pacific is about 60°F (16°C), too cold for most swimmers.

Good to know

  • You can walk to the pier and the beach; a car is needed for nearly everything else in Los Angeles.
  • Theme parks are crowded during chol hamoed, and freeway traffic can double the drive times given here.
  • Pacific time zone, three hours behind New York. Mornings by the ocean are often gray and cool.

Safety and travel advisories

What governments say about travel to this country. Nothing here is this site’s own judgment.

Safety information for the United States

The US State Department does not publish an advisory for its own country. Other governments do publish advice for visitors, and local police departments publish crime figures for their own cities.

This is the governments’ own wording, not a rating by this site. Israel’s National Security Council also publishes travel warnings for Israelis abroad. Ask the operator what security the program itself arranges, such as guards and entry checks.

Things to do on chol hamoed

Check opening times before you go; some places close or get very busy during the holiday.
