Which connection works best from Los Angeles?
Dubai (fastest about 21h 40m), Doha (fastest about 21h 55m), Singapore (fastest about 34h 30m) came up most often in our latest search. Gulf hubs usually give the shortest total time; European hubs can work better on price, baggage or schedule. We also check the layover length, terminal changes and transit visa rules for your passport before you book.
When should you book?
December to February is the driest time in Kerala. The southwest monsoon brings heavy rain from June to August. Fares from Los Angeles rise fastest around Onam in August–September, Christmas and the December holidays, and the summer break, so book those dates early. Shoulder months usually price better if your dates are flexible.
