Not everyone flies to LA or San Francisco. If you’re hitting San Diego (SAN), expect a flight time of about 2 hours and 50 minutes. For Sacramento (SMF), it’s similar to San Francisco—around 2 hours and 20 minutes.
And if you’re flying into a smaller airport like Santa Ana (SNA) or Oakland (OAK), tack on another 15-20 minutes. The plane might have to circle a bit, or the route is slightly longer. But hey, it’s still just a movie and a half.

Fun Comparisons to Keep You Hooked
Think about this: a flight from Denver to LA is about the same time as watching Top Gun: Maverick (if you skip the credits). You could listen to the entire Thriller album twice and still have time for the bathroom.
It’s also shorter than a typical Sunday football game. By the time the halftime show ends, you’ll be taxiing into California. And if you’re flying out of Denver in winter, you might spend more time scraping ice off your car than you do in the air.
