The Newark to Los Angeles route at a glance
Newark to Los Angeles is another cross-country trip, about 2,450 miles and up to six and a half hours in the air heading west. Los Angeles is three hours behind Newark, so a morning flight can land before lunch local time, while a later departure can mean a very late arrival once you account for the time change. Both airports are major United hubs, so there's usually a reasonable choice of departure times to pick from.
