Practical tips
Across the whole country, a flight is the sensible choice. Don't lose days on the ground when the plane is the realistic option. Keep your saved time for exploring Los Angeles and the California coast.
Confirm the airport code and terminal on your e-ticket before leaving. Boston's main airport has several terminals, and going to the wrong one wastes precious time before check-in and security.
The Los Angeles area has more than one airport. Look at the arrival airport name when you book, so your onward transfer to your hotel or hostel is planned and you don't land far from your accommodation.
Fares on this long route change with the day and season. Book early when your dates are fixed, and compare nearby days, since shifting your departure by a day can noticeably lower the fare.
Basic fares often include only a small personal item. Check the baggage allowance before paying, and add a checked bag online if needed, since airport counter fees are usually less convenient.
The journey experience
Boston to Los Angeles is a true coast-to-coast trip, and this is one of those routes where the question of bus versus train versus plane answers itself. The distance is huge, so the flight is the realistic choice for almost every independent traveller. Ground options would eat several days of your trip and your budget for food and beds along the way.
The flight is the option listed for this route, and it is simple: you leave from a major airport in the Boston area and land at a large airport in the Los Angeles area. Flights are usually direct on this corridor, several airlines compete, and you can travel with a carry-on only if you book a basic fare. Comfort is far better than a multi-day overland journey, and you arrive rested and ready to explore.
My advice: book the flight online, compare fares across several dates, and check the exact airport and terminal on your e-ticket before you leave. Once you land in Los Angeles, plan your transfer into the city in advance, because the metro area is spread out and public transport takes some planning. Do that, and this long crossing becomes one of the easiest legs of your trip.
