Flights from Los Angeles to New York: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Los Angeles to New York 
Verified travelerFlew with Spirit Airlines-Mar 2026
Charge all of your devices before boarding as there will won’t be any places to charge while on the aircraft.
GraceFlew with Delta-Feb 2026
We were early arriving so had to sit on the runway for a bit. Remember that you aren’t really supposed to use the lavatories in those situations as it’s an “active runway” situation, so plan to use the bathroom if you need to prior to descent.
Verified travelerFlew with Spirit Airlines-Jan 2026
As bad as it gets. Sign in at one terminal (40 minutes), walk to another terminal to go through security (1 hour+), then take a shuttle through taxiing planes on the tarmac to your flight's terminal (up to another hour). Absurd.. Give yourself a whopping 4 hours or you could miss your flight.
JFlew with Alaska Airlines-Oct 2024
You get a little a Pretzel bag or Biscoff crackers. Bring your snacks for the long haul. And listen for free gate checks !
alanFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jul 2024
Show up early. Security line was long (admittedly at the end of the 4th of July weekend).
MagedaFlew with United Airlines-Feb 2024
If you use the United mileage card, you will have priority boarding, which puts you to board in group 2, you get one free luggage checked in, gives you 2 free annual passes for United Club, drop off bags it's easy and convenient on level 2 in both airports Lax and Newark after checking in online
