Top tips for finding cheap flights to California

  • If your goal is to get from Victoria, British Columbia, to California, you’re going to have to make your way through Victoria International Airport (YYJ) to do it. There are a bunch of airlines that fly from Victoria International Airport to California, including options like Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, and WestJet. You’ll also need to decide which California airport you’ll fly to, with Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO) being two of the best options.
  • When flying from Victoria to California, you will be able to get there within about four hours in some cases. However, you will not be able to catch a direct flight from Victoria International Airport to any of the airports in California. Instead, you’ll need to prepare to make at least one stop on the way to your final destination. Try to track down an airline that only makes one stop with a short layover to trim your travel time.
  • You might not be someone who flies first class all the time, but flying from Victoria to California will provide you with a great opportunity to do it. Don’t book a first-class ticket right away, though. Book an economy ticket and then keep an eye out for emails sent by your airline about your flight. They might be willing to extend discounts on first-class tickets.
  • If you plan to stay in California for a long stretch after flying there from Victoria, you may not be able to avoid bringing a few suitcases with you. But, if possible, you should limit how much luggage you bring to Victoria International Airport, since every checked bag will increase your travel costs.
  • You’ll need to arrive at Victoria International Airport at least two to three hours in advance for your international flight to a California airport. But that doesn’t mean you need to show up at Victoria International Airport and simply sit there for hours on end. There are several lounges in the airport you can hang out in as you wait for your flight to California to board.

Airline reviews

My main issue is that I paid approximately CAD 200 to select four seats for the first flight. However, when I arrived at the check-in counter, I was told that the seats had not been assigned, and my family was relocated to the last row of the plane. I was traveling with two young children, ages two and six, which made the situation especially frustrating. I paid for a service that I did not receive, yet Alaska Airlines did not offer any refund or reasonable solution. I am extremely disappointed with how this was handled and will not fly with Alaska Airlines again.

Very satisfied with the trip, using Kayak and Alaska Airlines.

CREW ON AIRCRAFT WAS GREAT. GREATLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE ALASKA AIRLINES LOUNGE IN SEATTLE. I PAID FULL FARE FIRST CLASS TICKET FROM YYJ - SEATTLE-CHICAGO-CMH. THEY SAID THE NEXT FLIGHT WASN'T LONG ENOUGH TO ENTER THE LOUNGE. UNBELIEVABLE. WHAT DOES IT COST FOR A CUP OF COFFEE AND A DONUT? I PAID FOR A FIRST CLASS TICKET. DELTA ALSO OFFERS SAME ROUTE, SO JUST BECAUSE OF THE COST OF A DONUT, I'LL BE USING DELTA MOVING FORWARD.

Gate personnel and flight crew were both very good. No problems other than the previous flight being late.

The staff is excellent paying attention to your needs which in my case is the need for wheelchair assistance. I will try to fly Alaska Airlines whenever possible and recommend to my friends and family to fly Alaska Airlines!

Well it was late 35 minutes for boarding. Something you can't make up in a 5 1/2 hour trip? There IS no entertainment. There IS no food. The comfort is so so. You guys used to be so good. You charged me for check in baggage, then ask people to check it in for free while waiting to board?! Shame on you for turning into Spirit and Frontier Airlines.

Plane was having problem once in the air. Had to come back, wait, change plane. 5h30 delay…

It would have been nice to get a heads up on the security measures in Canada. I have global entry and haven’t used a clear plastic bag in years, but got stopped because of it. I know it’s not Alaska Airlines responsibility but it would have been nice to have a link in one of our emails.

Friendly and on time Would have appreciated if they’d been able to help with seats etc on our other onward flights with British Airlines

Nice friendly staff. Did not like being in the very last row on red eye.

We boarded the plane and were about to take off when we were notified that the tires had to be checked. Upon inspection, they were found to need replacement, so the entire plane had to be deboarded. After we exited the plane, United staff forced us to stay in the gate area by posting "Do Not Exit" signs on the doors connecting the gate area to the terminal. Many of us had already rebooked our flights and had no checked bags, but they told us we could not leave. This seemed inappropriate to hold people under false pretenses. When the agent told us we could leave, I asked them to please take down the "Do Not Exit" signs, as they were misleading. The agent refused, and I told them that it didn't feel right to hold people like that.

Friendly crew, but we were delayed for more than an hour and had to change planes due to maintenance issues.

Flight delayed. Connecting to night flight was stressful but made it. Jusr in time. Ran.88Flight was fine.

The food quality sucks. One must starve if they do not eat flesh Or wheat based products Some variety would be expected. The trivial amount of snacks and or food is inhumane

Airbus plane, nice and polite staff, entertainment even as it was a short flight.

Marked by flight delays on all segments of the trip. Food in first class cabin was mediocre and overhead cabin storage was not adequate. Overall, the premium charge for first class cabin was poor and over hyped. This will be our last flight with UA.

the plane was old. the wifi didn’t work. the entertainment was boring and dated. the charging ports were impossible to find. i was mostly ignored by flight attendants that had no problem speaking to the man beside me. i got two drinks the entire time i was on the plane.

All went fine. Boarding was efficient, staff was really friendly, and we were kept up to date on any changes to our itinerary. My only note for improvement is that on this particular plane, the recline in economy class was negligible. I know it's a coach seat, but I had another UA flight (SFO to BWI) and the seat was more comfortable with better recline.

Couldn’t get the tv screen to work, didn’t try food, so no comment

The seats seem to be a little cramped, and there really is no entertainment unless you use your own device, which I'm not able to do.

Everyone was extremely friendly and nice, from the front desk to the cabin crew!

I like that we landed safely and that my dog was safe underneath as well. Outside of that, we were 45 mins late for a direct flight that is 1.5 hours long. And 2 of my 3 bags did not make the flight. Only my dog was onboard.

The pricing was split into an ultra basic fare with a comfort seat upgrade. This is misleading. Never were we shown an ultra basic fare. What this did because the fare category was ultra basic we could not bid on an upgrade first class seat. All e mails from WestJet were for ultra basic category with my wife and I upset as we could not confirm this with anyone from your firm.The check in counter were not going to allow our carry on but after some checking saw we had ultra basic and a comfort seat upgrade. They could not figure out how this was done. Now we have to go through this again at the gate in Mexico. Unless I missed it - please let customers know the billing in future. Respectfully. Gary & Nancy Moughtin

I wasn’t checked in for the third leg of my flight, my bag was checked through to Dublin but when I went to the gate in Toronto they said I wasn’t on the flight and had given my seat away. I had to wait 24 hours for another flight and instead on the one I had booked it was now 2 flights.

Our biggest complaint was a major schedule change that was not communicated to us in any way. Luckily the time change went later not earlier so we did not miss the flight. Our email addresses and phone numbers were on file but we received no email no text message no nothing. Short flight so not much to say.

The check in was quick but the counter person didn’t inform me that the flight was delayed. I was also not informed of the boarding gate. When the plane landed there was a mixup at the gate with the ramp crew which delayed the flight further. All in all the experience didn’t meet the standard I’ve come to expect from WestJet

Again, flight was late. It’s expected of this airline now i guess.

The checked luggage still hasn't arrived yet. 42 h later. We saw it being unloaded in the stopover location. It was. 5 hour layover so it wasn't a rushed transfer. One positive aspect, it was close to being on time and the crew that came on the clean the plane was very efficient.

Poorly staffed check-in in Victoria. Unhappy WestJet person on counter. Then our flight was delayed by 2 hours, which meant our luggage failed to make the flight to LHR. Overall poor communications to passengers. Fortunately the flight from YYC to LHR was good and on time.

They delayed flight because lack of staff then missed connection. Never flying with kayak or weather

Boarding went smoothly and on time. No entertainment system and only a cookie for breakfast.

there was no food or entertainment on that short 1.5 hour flight unless you mean the cookie and the overhead announcements... Those Q-400's are the workhorse of the rugged coast and mountains for sure.

All good great price seating very cramped but overall very good

The experience was satisfactory. The plane was full and took awhile to embark and disembark. On a 4 hour flight, there is not much you can do. my return flight was in the very last row on the plane but was adequate.

Overall great. The crews were lovely. The seats are awful. I always emerge with a back ache.

Flight was not affected by the Air Canada strike. Complimentary beer and wine offered on flight.

Bad experience. My checked bag was lost during this direct flight….how does that even happen?

The space for seats were uncomfortable and lack of leg room . I paid extra for more leg room. I’m not a big person.

The leg room was tight even after paying extra for economy comfort plus. It was difficult to move out of your seat (I was seated in a window seat). I am not a large person. I would not book the middle or window seats again.

My luggage passed security but just before boarding the plane I watched as my luggage was thrown on the belt to enter the plane in Windsor and my luggage cover was half off. it was damaged before even making it onto the plane! I’ve had the luggage and covered for a year and have never had any issues. I mentioned it to an Air Canada employee who told me to use the app to make the crew aware of this (she said so they could fix it) but sure enough my luggage was damaged with no cover in sight! I sent an email to AC that was ignored. Awful experience! Also, a 4.5 hour flight and you are offered pretzels or a cheap single cookie?? Wow. The return flight did not have any entertainment available unless you used your own device and their wifi. The USB plug on the back of the seat did not charge my phone so my battery drained by using it for a short period of time. There was no warning that this was the case prior to boarding the aircraft. Lastly, the plane was freezing. I asked if they had any small blankets (which used to be standard) and was told they were only for the front section. Would never fly AC again!
