20 Best Weekend Getaways from Los Angeles (within a 3 hour flight)
2021-06-16
California residents are blessed to be able to ski and surf in the same day. Los Angeles in particular, is ideally located with easy access to National Parks, mountains, and plenty of other fun destinations within a short flight.
This article will focus on domestic destinations via airplane and car. Here are some weekend getaway ideas for locals in the Los Angeles area within a 3 hour flight (with one bonus 4 hour destination). More importantly, these trips are all possible without having to request PTO (for you M-F 9-5'ers), it just depends what you want to do at your destination.
Bear in Mind: When travelling internationally as of June 14th, 2021, you're required to present a negative Covid-19 PCR test upon return to the United States. This is on top of any restrictions in the country you are visiting. Since the rules are changing frequently, I'll leave that out. Instead, I'll include a link to the embassy site where you can find the latest information.
