San Diego is about a two-and-a-half-hour to three-hour drive from the Los Angeles area depending on whether you take I-5 S or I-15 S. Where you are located within the city is going to play a role in just how long it will take.
If you are thinking back to family road trips as a kid, a couple of hours in the car really isn’t that bad. However, time is of the essence, and spending less time driving to San Diego means getting to spend more time with your family in the city instead. That seems like quite a valuable trade-off, don’t you think?
When you are ready to create the ultimate family trip to San Diego, let the King Air get you there in about 30 minutes.
Why San Diego?
It is tough to find a spot that has something for the whole group when you are traveling with a family. Everyone is at different ages with different interests and finds enjoyment in different things. That’s why finding a place that has a variety to offer is the best option.
San Diego is that spot for families.
This area is laid back and the weather is always great. Plus, there is so much to keep everyone occupied. What’s more, San Diego is fairly close to Los Angeles. This makes it a convenient place to visit for the day or for a weekend getaway.
Things to Do with the Family
While you can always find something fun to do at home, there is no place like San Diego – especially if you are a kid. Below we have all the hot spots you won’t want to miss and all the great things to do with the entire family.
San Diego Zoo. This world-famous zoo is not one you will want to miss when given the opportunity. It is 100 acres and home to about 4,000 animals. Kids of all ages will enjoy strolling through this zoo.
San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Thousands of acres and safari adventures to enjoy. This will keep the kids occupied for hours and create some incredible memories, too.
LEGOLAND California and Water Park. Legos. Need we say more? Kids love this place — and so do adults. And now that they have added their water park, it is easy to get lost in the joy found here.
Balboa Park. Is your family interested in museums? Balboa Park is home to many different museums, including the Air and Space Museum, Natural History Museum, Fleet Science Center, San Diego Model Railroad Museum, and so much more.
The Embarcadero. This is another popular spot for families to visit in the San Diego area. It is where you will find the Seaport Village with all its shops and restaurants, explore the Maritime Museum, take a cruise in the harbor, or go whale watching.
Belmont Park. Located seaside in Mission Beach, Belmont Park has tons of fun things to do, such as go-kart riding, mini-golfing, an arcade, fair rides, and more.
The Beach. Who doesn’t love spending time at the beach? There are quite a few in San Diego that are perfect for families. La Jolla beaches, Coronado Central Beach, Mission Bay, Ocean Beach, and Del Mar are all great choices.
We could keep going as the list of things for families to do is quite extensive when it comes to San Diego. Or, you could just book your King Air charter and come see for yourself.
Why the King Air?
Aside from the King Air 350i being able to get you from Los Angeles to San Diego in about 30 minutes, there are many perks to choosing this aircraft over others in the charter fleet.
For starters, this turboprop is spacious with a lot of windows – 14 to be exact. This makes it seem light and airy onboard. And, it has room for 8 passengers to fit comfortably in a double-club configuration.
A few popular amenities you will find on the King Air 350i are complimentary domestic wifi and power outlets at each seat. As a result, kids and adults alike can stay connected during the flight.
There is a built-in refreshment center with drinks and snacks, as well as storable work tables for eating or gaming with your kids. To make it extra convenient, you will find an enclosed lavatory onboard, too.
Another benefit of traveling on the King Air 350i when you are taking your family is that it has ample storage space. That means all of the baggage you will bring, as well as strollers, car seats, and more, can easily be stored.
Finally, many who know a thing or two about aircraft have the misconception that all turboprops are loud — and that includes the King Air 350i. However, that would not be true at all. Turboprops of yesteryear, perhaps. But thanks to noise cancellation technology, this aircraft is quiet and will not disrupt what goes on within the cabin at all. Even young babies can sleep through the flight with ease.
