If you’re heading to the southern half of California then flying into LAX makes sense. The airport is the second busiest in the United States. It serves more than 87 million passengers every year. You’ll find the airport is southwest of the LA downtown area by about 18 miles. The land it covers totals about 3,500 acres. This airport services international flights from all over the world and is a portal for Americans traveling out to other countries, especially in Asia and Europe.
San Francisco International Airport is found in San Mateo County. It’s just south of central downtown San Francisco by 13 miles. This is another connection point for international flights going out or coming in across the Pacific Ocean. The airport is the second busiest on in the state.
Many of the stopovers from Detroit to San Francisco are in the same places as for LAX. You will also find a few in Salt Lake City, Minneapolis, or even Newark.
