Flight Deals from Los Angeles to Pisa from $596

The flight from Los Angeles to Pisa covers about 6,180 miles. There is no scheduled nonstop service on this route, so the journey requires a connection. No flight time is available for a nonstop flight because none exists.

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 nonstop flights from Los Angeles to Pisa. The shortest connecting routing is Lufthansa via Frankfurt, taking 14 hours 15 minutes total (10 hours 55 minutes in the air plus 1 hour 45 minutes on the ground). Lufthansa currently operates this one-stop pattern, with the second leg flown by Air Dolomiti.

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.

Getting from Pisa Airport to the city center is straightforward, with the Pisa Mover shuttle train being the most-used and fastest option: it runs every 5–8 minutes, takes about 5 minutes, and costs €6.50 one-way to Pisa Centrale station. Taxis offer a quick 10-minute ride to the historic center for roughly €10, while city bus line 1 also serves the center for those preferring a bus. Car rentals are available from major companies like Avis, Hertz, and Sixt, and the airport sits just 2 km from the center with easy highway access. There is no dedicated airport-to-Pisa bus service since the Pisa Mover is so efficient, though private transfers and ride-share-style bookings are an alternative to taxis.

There are no nonstop red-eyes from Los Angeles to Pisa, but connecting itineraries with an overnight long leg do operate. Lufthansa runs a red-eye from LAX to Frankfurt departing around 3:05–6:40 PM and landing at 11:00 AM–2:35 PM, connecting onward to Pisa; British Airways and American run red-eyes from LAX to London Heathrow departing around 3:45–6:10 PM and arriving at 10:15 AM–12:45 PM before the onward connection to Pisa.

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 Pisa; travelers connect through European hubs. The most common routings are Lufthansa via Frankfurt with Air Dolomiti on the final leg, KLM via Amsterdam with Transavia, and American Airlines or British Airways via London Heathrow. Lufthansa's Frankfurt connection is the quickest at about 14 hours 15 minutes, while the London routings add roughly two hours. No per-carrier fares are provided for this route.

Pisa has only one commercial airport, Pisa International Airport, also known as Galileo Galilei Airport. It is about 2 km from the city centre and the Leaning Tower, making it very convenient for visitors.

From downtown Los Angeles, you can reach LAX by taking the LAX FlyAway nonstop bus from Union Station, which runs every 15–30 minutes and takes about 45–60 minutes. Alternatively, ride the Metro C or K Line to the LAX/Metro Transit Center and connect via a free shuttle to the terminals, or use a ride-share service, taxi, or drive and park at one of the airport lots. The FlyAway bus is the most popular and cost-effective option for downtown travelers, while ride-share and taxis offer the fastest door-to-door service at a higher cost, and public transit is the cheapest but slower due to the shuttle transfer.

There is no nonstop service from Los Angeles to Pisa. Connecting itineraries most often use British Airways via London Heathrow, with Boeing 777-300ER, Boeing 777-300, or Boeing 777-200 on the long-haul leg.

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.
