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.
6225 West Century Boulevard in Los Angeles. 424.702.1234.

After 15 years in business, Strickland’s Ice Cream since 1936 in Irvine will be closing. The Irvine store was the first to open outside of Ohio and brought the beloved signature ice cream to OC.

You can always find chocolate, vanilla, Pineapple Dole Whip, and rainbow sherbert, and then there are two to three flavors of the day.
Check online here to see what the flavor of the day is. Flavors can range from Coffee, Peppermint, Taro, Reese’s Cup. Mocha Chunk, Strawberry, Green Tea, and Egg Nog and much more.
They also offer sundaes, hot fudge brownie sundaes, banana splits, banana bowls, strawberry shortcakes, ice cream sodas and more.
Open noon to 10 p.m. daily.
