Just wondering if anyone has flown from Heathrow to LAX and what your flight time was (I know it can vary depending on head wind or tail wind etc). Also, just out of interest, can you remember from the flight how far North it went (roughly)?

In August but it's my big holiday for my 30th this year. It's a coach tour covering LA, Vegas and San Franciso plus the Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Park.

It's 14 days for us and all trips are included to places such as Hollywood studios and Alcatraz. The coach takes Route 95 on the way from Vegas to San Francisco so fairly close to Death Valley and I dare say a lot warmer than any UK summer

When we were in LA it was 90 and in Death Valley over 125 , it was mind blowing heat , Vegas was 120 during the day and and San Fran was a very chilly 55 ! We had to go and buy extra cloths !

I should also add that in Vegas we have upgraded the hotel to Treasure Island and in San Francisco we've upgraded to Marriott Marquis. LA is a Marriott hotel anyway.

I flew Air New Zealand a few years back - they had the best leg room for cattle class. Stopped over for 2 days in LA to break the journey to Auckland. Totally underwhelmed by LA - very tacky and dirty. Would not rush back unless it was a grand tour of the West coast. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

The best thing about San Francisco is the road out of it
