California Flights

California earns its nickname, "The Golden State" in spades. The major cities see nearly 300 days of sun each year, so you should definitely pack the sunscreen when you jet off to this coastal American destination. From the fine-sand beaches of Coronado in the south to the majestic redwood trees near Eureka in the north, California has a bounty of natural beauty worth exploring. Plus, fine dining and entertainment venues are in no short supply. When you grab cheap flights to California right here on Expedia.com.au, you can afford theme park tickets and ocean excursions without blowing your holiday budget.

Exploring California

California has a generally temperate climate, particularly in the south. If you head to Southern California in the summer, from June to August, expect cool breezes and temperatures around 21 degrees€”perfect for beach-going or chartering a sailboat. When you fly into the Los Angeles airport, a world of amusement parks and sun-drenched piers await. Hire a car and drive up the coast for stunning vistas and the chance to explore charming beach communities. Even in the winter, you will need, at most, a light jacket in the southern part of the state. All year round, activities like surfing and biking are a great way to explore SoCal. If you're headed from Sydney to San Francisco, prepare for a bit of a cooler climate. The Bay Area of Northern California is notoriously rainy in the winter, but in the summer you can kayak or lay in Golden Gate Park all afternoon.

Expedia.com.au always has great deals on airfare to California. Flights from Sydney to Los Angeles or San Francisco don't have to break your budget. Grab your sandals and big sunglasses: Tinseltown and the greater Golden State region requests your presence. Go ahead, book your trip now. A sunny California adventure starts on Expedia.com.au today!
