Los Angeles is one of the best-connected origins in the country, which means there is almost always a soft fare somewhere if you know where to look. Travelers in the L.A. basin can choose between LAX, Hollywood Burbank (BUR) and Long Beach (LGB), and the cheapest option often depends as much on the airport and day as on the destination.

For domestic trips, the cleanest prices usually appear roughly one to three months out, with Tuesday and Wednesday departures running cheaper than weekend-heavy patterns. For Hawaii and Mexico, give yourself more lead time and watch shoulder-season windows.
Burbank and Long Beach are smaller and easier to navigate than LAX, and they sometimes undercut it on short West Coast hops. If you are flexible on airport, it is worth comparing all three before booking.
Headline fares often exclude bags and seat selection. Add the bags you actually need before comparing two fares — the cheapest base fare is not always the cheapest trip.

It depends on the route. LAX has the most options and the most competition, which often produces the lowest fares to major hubs. For short West Coast hops, Burbank and Long Beach can be cheaper once you factor in parking and time.
For domestic trips, roughly one to three months ahead tends to capture clean pricing. Last-minute fares are usually higher, and booking many months out rarely beats a well-timed mid-range window.
