At first, thank you very much for all your replies.

Southwest looks good.
But I don't know - there is no seat reservation possible.
Hmm, I'll fly to Los Angeles with a work colleague. I think he would not be pleased to sit separate from me in case the plane is fully occupied.

And the risk - in case the most passengers choose the "Early Board Option" - is actually too high for me.

On the other hand, no extra charges for our suitcases. Let's see what we'll do.

That would be great - If I wouldn't be such a "coward".
I think I'm not brave enough to drive by car to LA.
Or do we absolutely need a car in LA? We are planning to visit the Universal Studios Hollywood, Six Flags and Disneyland Anaheim.

Thanky you very much Scooter11,

I have learned that in the U.S.

Until now, I have spent unfortunately only 30 days in the U.S. (Las Vegas) and what I miss most of all, is the kindness and cordialness of Americans. It is simply unbelievable.
In the whole time, I have met only two persons, which were unfriendly. And these persons were a waiter and a shop assistant from Italy.
I really hope that I'll never meet an unfriendly American.
