Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Urumqi Airport to LAX last minute?
Booking your trip from Diwopu Intl. Airport (URC) to LAX at the last minute could save you money if you strike it lucky and find a real steal. However, fares generally don’t get cheaper closer to the departure date. If you wait around, flights could also be sold out or the best seats gone (because no one wants the middle seat). If you’d prefer to play it safe, book well ahead of your departure date. In fact, some of the best deals are available on Expedia up to 12 months in advance. If your preferred carrier hasn’t released its airfares yet, check back regularly as deals are constantly updated on Expedia.

Los Angeles Intl. Airport (LAX), Long Beach Municipal Airport (LGB) and Bob Hope Airport (BUR) are your choices when heading off from Urumqi to Los Angeles. Around 11 mi southwest of downtown Los Angeles, Los Angeles Intl. Airport (LAX) is the city’s principal entry point. Take into account things like flight departure and arrival times and the distance to your hotel before settling on an airport.

Can I change the date of my flight from Diwopu Intl. Airport (URC) to LAX?
