The Dallas to Los Angeles route at a glance
Two of American's biggest hubs are joined by this route, so flights are frequent and there's usually a good spread of departure times through the day. Dallas/Fort Worth to Los Angeles is about 1,200 miles, a little over three hours in the air, and you gain two hours on the clock heading west, so a midday departure can still land you with plenty of the Pacific afternoon left. Heading back east, the flight is a touch longer once the time change works against you.
Tips for this route
- Flights are frequent, which gives you a choice of times. Compare early and late departures.
- If you’re staying outside central Los Angeles, Burbank, Long Beach and Orange County are sometimes worth pricing.
- DFW is large. Check your terminal before you leave and give yourself time to reach your gate.
