Flight Deals from Los Angeles to Bologna from $330

There is no nonstop flight from Los Angeles to Bologna, so the route requires a connection. The distance between the two airports is about 6,160 miles.

Methodology

Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

There are no non-stop flights from Los Angeles to Bologna. The shortest connecting routing is on Air France via Paris Charles de Gaulle, with a total trip time of 13 hours 40 minutes (a 10h 50m leg, a 1h 10m layover, and a 1h 40m leg). Lufthansa via Frankfurt is a close second at 13 hours 55 minutes.

Methodology

Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

Bologna's airport sits about 5 km from the city center, and the fastest, most-used connection is the Marconi Express monorail to Bologna Centrale station, a 7.5-minute ride running every 7–15 minutes from 5:40 AM to midnight. Taxis are available in front of arrivals with a fare of roughly €20–25 and a 10–20 minute drive into the center, making them the quickest door-to-door option. Limited public buses (TPER routes 54 and 944) serve nearby districts, and direct coach connections run to cities like Florence, Modena, and Ravenna. Car rental is possible via the motorway network, but for most travelers the monorail is the clear default.

Red-eye service from Los Angeles to Bologna is available only as a connecting itinerary, since there are no nonstop overnight flights. Lufthansa operates the overnight leg into Frankfurt (departing 3:05 PM, arriving 11:00 AM) and Munich (departing 5:30 PM, arriving 1:35 PM), while Air France, British Airways, KLM, Delta, and ITA Airways run red-eye legs through Paris, London, Amsterdam, and Rome with similar afternoon and evening departures. Each of these overnight legs lands the next morning, after which a short connecting flight continues on to Bologna.

Methodology

Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

There is no nonstop service from Los Angeles to Bologna. The quickest one-stop routings are on Air France via Paris (13h 40m), Lufthansa via Frankfurt or Munich (13h 55m–14h), and Delta via Paris (14h 5m). Air France operates about 6 flights per day on this route, Lufthansa about 20–22 daily combined across its two hubs, and KLM via Amsterdam and British Airways via London each have around 4 daily. No per-carrier fares are provided for this route.

Bologna has one main airport, Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport, about 6 km northwest of the city centre. It serves both full‑service and low‑cost carriers with connections across Europe and a few intercontinental routes.

From downtown Los Angeles, the fastest and most popular way to reach LAX is the FlyAway bus, which runs nonstop from Union Station every 15 minutes and takes about 30–45 minutes. Public transit via the Metro C or K Line to the LAX/Metro Transit Center, followed by a free shuttle to the terminals, is the most affordable option. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, as well as taxis, offer door-to-door convenience at a higher cost, while driving and parking at the airport is the most expensive choice, especially for longer trips.

Methodology

Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

Air Dolomiti, which operates some Lufthansa feeder legs, is not itself an alliance member. No major operating carrier on this route is alliance-free.
