Route Briefing: Los Angeles to Austin
Connecting Hollywood with the Live Music Capital of the World takes 2 hours and 56 minutes over 1,242 miles. Delta, American Airlines, and Southwest operate multiple daily nonstops into Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS).
Austin is famous for its energetic live music, world-class barbecue, and sunny outdoor lifestyle. Rent a kayak on Lady Bird Lake, cool off in the natural spring waters of Barton Springs Pool in Zilker Park, or browse quirky vintage boutiques along South Congress Avenue. By evening, feast on tender smoked brisket at Terry Black's or Franklin Barbecue, then catch live indie rock and country music on Rainey Street or at the historic Continental Club.
A good economy deal is under $130 roundtrip, with standard fares sitting between $190 and $300. High season occurs during the spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) when major festivals like SXSW and ACL take over the city. Book 4 to 6 weeks in advance for the best prices.
