Which airline is the best one to fly between Orlando and Los Angeles?

Good price; on-time flights; comfortable seats; extra perks; etc.

Virgin looks AMAZING! When I go to SoCal, I'm definitely flying on Virgin. I hear the service is great and no peanuts are served on flight.

Daniel, when are you visiting LA? Which parks are you going to?

I haven't flown Virgin, but I know it's highly rated.

Cool, depending on how many days you're spending at DLR, you should try & also ride RSR & visit Carsland at night....2 different experiences.

And at Universal, do all the lower lot attractions first (Transformers included), it saves alot of time.

I've had good flights on Virgin, but if you can get one of the early-AM nonstops on Delta, you're pretty much guaranteed to be flying with at least one theme park designer on the plane. It seems that WD Imagineering, Universal Creative and other design firm people are always on those flights between Orlando and LA.

Well I know to avoid Southwest due to the peanuts.

I flew on Virgin America last year from LA to Orlando and had a wonderful experience. Virgin has been my airline of choice ever since they launched a few years ago. Their pricing, service, food, and planes are the best in the industry. I wish they flew to more places.

Maybe Disney should have its own airline and fly this route. "The happiest place in the sky"

Yes, Virgin America is excellent! I live in Orlando and my brother lives in Los Angeles, so I visit him quite often. I used to fly SouthWest, but now that Virgin flies non-stop, it's amazing. Every seat has a TV, you get good snacks, the flight attendants are super friendly, and you can get WiFi. Not to mention, they have a pretty good rewards program (especially if you get the credit card).

I just had to giggle... did you just use airline and good price, on time and extra perks in the same question? It is called "Hell has frozen over airlines" Ha ha! I have heard great things about Virgin, unfortunately I live in the middle of nowhere, so I am a Southwest girl! Good luck!

Well WDW does have that STOLport. Maybe they should consider putting that to use again

You could do Jetblue non stop into long beach if long beach is close enough

There are many airlines which provides these services and cheap rates. I think Spirit Airlines and Delta Air Lines both have non stop flights between Detroit and Los Angeles.

My family always liked Southwest. Cheap, simple enough, and usually on time

I flew Virgin from JFK to LAS. Great airline. You have your own entertainment in the seat back in front of you. Movies, TV, Music and a lot of games. You won't be bored. You also order your food and drink from your seat. Before you know it, the food you ordered is brought to you by the flight attendant. You'll have a great time.
