Your Ultimate Travel Guide: Visiting Los Angeles During Wildfire Season 🌟

Hello everyone! I’m AD, your guide from Los Angeles. Recently, I’ve received many messages asking: How bad is the impact of the wildfires? Is it still possible to enjoy my trip? With flights booked and anticipation high, here’s a complete guide to ensure your travel experience remains safe and enjoyable! ✅

✈ Airport & Flight Status

✅ Los Angeles International Airport is currently operating normally, so rest assured for your travels.
🚨 Burbank Airport is experiencing some flight delays/cancellations; it’s recommended to check your flight status before departure.
Tip: Always research your flight information ahead of time to mitigate any unexpected changes to your plans.

🏨 Safe Accommodation Recommendations

Wildfire impact is currently minimal. I recommend staying at:

• ✅ Near the Airport (Provides flexibility in adjusting plans)
• ✅ Long Beach (Many seaside hotels and ocean activities)
• ✅ Irvine (Beautiful environment with a wide range of dining options)

⚠ Areas to Avoid:

• ❌ Pacific Palisades
• ❌ Pasadena
• ❌ Northern Los Angeles Mountains (such as Griffith Park)

What if you have booked a hotel in a high-risk area?
Contact your hotel as soon as possible; many establishments offer free cancellation or rescheduling policies during extreme weather conditions!
