Most guests fly into Los Angeles International, about 35 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).

Good to know

  • 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.

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
