Flying from MA

[Beckybalz]

Anyone flown from the Boston, MA area to DL? If so, what airport did you fly into and what airline did you use?

Hi! I live in Worcester & flew in from Boston to LAX on Delta. My only advice- watch the stopover times. They gave us one 20-minute stopover & assured us it would be "fine"...We literally had to run across the airport in Ohio & made it to the gate as they were closing the door. A longer layover may make your trip longer, but it's better than almost missing your connecting flight! Our layover on the way home was about an hour & that was perfect for me. LAX was huge & the car rental company we used was off site a little. Driving in LA is a challenge if you have never driven there before. But I also think that you need a car if you plan to go anywhere besides DL. We ended up going to San Diego, La Jolla, Hollywood, Venice, and Valencia. I am a frequent traveler to WDW, but I loved DL, too! The Downtown Disney area there is great. I have to say that I was VERY pleased with the Grand Californian, too!
Have a great trip!

We are planning a trip in November out of CT. We're actually getting a ride to JFK in order to get a direct flight on Jet Blue. I think they fly out of Boston too, but it was a little less expensive out of JFK.

We're flying into Long Beach, which I understand is about a 20 minute cab to DLR, and avoids LAX completely. We are driving down to LEGOland and San Diego later in the week, but will pick up the rental at DL. I don't see any need for a car during our DLR stay.

All of that said, this is our first trip to So. Cal. So who knows how it will all work out. Hope this helps!

I'd recommend flying into Long Beach or Orange County/John Wayne if at all possible. They are smaller more convenient airports and closer to DL. LAX would be my last choice.
If you are planning on doing a rental car and visiting more of SoCal, San Diego would also be a viable option. The drive up to Anaheim isnt that bad.
