LA Holiday Travel Packages

12.10.18

Planning on traveling for the holidays to visit family or friends, or just need a getaway? Two Los Angeles-based hotels are offering special holiday packages just for you.

The Hyatt Regency LAX: Park & Fly Package & 10-Night Packages are being offered in direct response to travelers’ most frequent travel woes – providing both a place to stay overnight before or after a flight and parking for the duration of a guest’s travel. As the closest hotel to the LAX terminals and the only airport hotel to offer direct shuttle service, the Park & Fly package allows travelers to spend the night before a flight in leisure (instead of battling the 405) and avoid the parking chaos of LAX. Park & Fly packages offer parking for three or ten nights.

Starting Rate: $209. For booking and more information visit here. Once dates are selected, just click the right arrows to locate the “Park & Fly” package option.
