Flightmapping > News > August 04 > Flights to Los Angeles

Looking into a possible trip to the US West Coast in September, I noticed that flights to Burbank (BUR) are often significantly cheaper than flights to Los Angeles International.

For the dates I was looking at (14th - 23rd Sept), the best fare to LAX was £412 (US Airways via PIT ow & CLT rtn @ Opodo). Yet repeat the same search for Burbank (which is better connected to the city centre anyway), and the best deal is £302 (VS to SFO; UA to BUR @ several online sites).

This makes me wonder:

Why does Burbank not come up when searches are done to Los Angeles - it is in the same metro area according to OAG, surely in the same way that LGW would come up for London?

How many other cities have this type of "hidden" discount - it seems to work for San Jose v. SFO aswell, going via LAX this time.

Is this unique to the US west coast - lots of airports in the same metro area, but not designated to a single city like LON & NYC, or are there other places where this might work?
