Take a look at how much you’d pay to get to LA on British Airways or the American carriers, and it will usually be around £280-350 each way. Norse Atlantic Airways has other ideas, with various dates in May currently £170 – quite an incredible offer from the low-csot airline that does long-haul flights.
The lowest fares are for May travel, and thery rise really quickly into summer, where you can pay up to £700 for the same flight. Add a return leg, if you do want to come home, for as little as £130-£200 — also pretty great.. Here’s an example we found:
Why this deal stands out
- Nonstop flights at a budget price – rare to see direct fares this low outside of flash sales.
- Cabin bag included – unlike some other low-cost fares, this price includes a proper cabin bag (check their website for exact size limits).
- LA in May is such a great time to be there. Usually perfect weather.
Fly to LA for £170 – What to know before booking
- Norse Atlantic is a budget carrier, so extras like meals, seat selection, and checked baggage cost more.
- Limited availability at this price – these fares won’t last long, and prices will rise as seats sell out.
- Departures from London – flights are from Gatwick, with good onward transport options to Manhattan.
