How do you get to the 405 freeway from the arrivals section of LAX airport? I need to go to Beverly Hills .?

Take Century Blvd East to the 405 Freeway North. Go only about 1 or 2 exits and take La Cienega Blvd. North. This will take you straight into Beverly Hills and you will avoid the congestion on the 405 Freeway, which goes a little to the West of B.H. anyway.

Or, take Sepulveda Blvd. North to La Tijera Blvd., turn right and take La Tijera all the way until it turns into La Cienega. This is actually the BEST and fastest way, less traffic, most direct. But you have to make a couple of turns, big deal, follow the taxi's!


Head East you literally can't miss it..Truth, I know that's how we do it but,I don't think that is a good route for new first time tourists....

http://www.mapquest.com/directions/ I usually use this site for directions. If worse comes to worse you could use the directions and the trip tic in your car. This sites directions are usually accurate to .1 miles

Follow the signs. Literally.

The airport exit drops you on Century. Take Century east until you hit the 405. There are signs as you leave the airport and all along Century.

You can also make yourself a Yahoo Map and bring it with you.

Stop by one of the rental car counters. They'll give you a map.

Follow the signs, but if you don't feel comfortable, look it up on Google Maps. They give directions.

Really you just follow the signs.

You'll want to go North on the 405 or Sepulveda Bl from the Airport...Now, the rental car places aren't too close to the Airport so I'd suggest asking them how to get to BH from where they are (I assume that since you're asking this you're planning to rent a car). PEACE & Hope you enjoy your stay.

How far is greyhound bus station to lax airport?

I would avoid greyhound as their station is worst part of

skid row -people have been robbed ,killed there

and security says they cant do a thing because they

are only secuirty not armed patrol officers

and LAPD will not respond to greyhound station cause

they think greyhound security would take care of the problem

if you need to use greyhound I would HIGHLY suggest you take Amtrak (and because its no longer called the greyhound station

anyway since currero (greyhound Mexican affiliate

bought the station) plus no there speak any English

either

and because you have better and more direct connections

between union station (Amtrak) then you do with the greyhound/currao station)

Non stop flyway bus service from lax to union station 24 hours a day 7 days a week

now if have to get to greyhound you can take the flyway to

union station then a taxi (but midn you it might cost

you least $10.00 (just to leave union station)

even so its only 5.00 to the station!)


About 24 miles. But MM is right. Go through Amtrak, not Greyhound. That area is too dangerous.

From Union Station, you can take the Flyaway to LAX for $4.00.

How to go from Alamo (rent a car) of LAX to the airport terminal 2 of Los Angeles ?

use their free shuttle! Alamo has a shuttle for their customers

to that will take you from Alamo to the Terminal (that's'

*if *you are returning a car to alamo which I assume you are

now if you are not returing a car - maybe they might be nice and take you anywa

since their bus has to go in to lax anyway)


I think they have a shulltte or did you think people walked to the airport

from the alamo lot?

It's called the shuttle.

They have a shuttle.

Luggage storage for 10 days in LAX airport?

I have 2 luggages to store in LAX (or around the airport) because I will be traveling around CA for 10 days before taking an international flight to Hong Kong where I came from.

I did my research and the 3 companies that store luggage off-site charges around $8/day. With 2 luggages for 10 days, it would end up costing me $150 for luggage storage and no matter what you say, I don't think that's reasonable at all. It would be very annoying and expensive to check in both luggage and bring them with me as I fly domestic to places so I would really want to leave them in LA. i live on my college campus but it would be closed during summer so I can't put my luggage in where I live either...

I think i will have roughly 4-6 hours between my flight arriving LAX and leaving LAX to pick up the luggage I left off in LAX. WHAT SHOULD I DO??


Sounds about right. Your only other option is to leave them with a friend in LA and ask them to bring them to the airport. I would leave the luggage at the LAX storage place.

Which airline has direct flights from LAX or Burbank airport to providence, rhode island?

Anything low in cost? thanks!


Southwest no longer has nonstop service between Providence and LAX or BUR (see http://www.southwest.com/travel_center/routemap_dyn.html ). Looks like no other airlines do, either. I also checked surrounding airports LGB, ONT, and SNA from Providence, but there's no nonstop flights on those routes, either. Adding Hartford to the search... nothing nonstop from there, either. Of course there are nonstops to LAX from BOS--if that could work for you.

Fastest connection available from PVD currently is 7 hrs., 43 mins. (Continental) with several other airlines offering overall flight times of 8 hours or less on PVD-LAX.

Thanks! Your information helped me a lot. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20080829200849AAIoxOM&kid=NbUvWzK4UzRcwDcvJh8g&s=comm&date=2008-09-08+16%3A50%3A01&.crumb=

No direct or non-stop service for Lax to PVD. USair has flights for $177.00 with a change in Phildelphia at 830 and 1100 AM on Sep4.

This is a one-way fare, and is very low.

Regards,

Dan

Southwest Airlines has one, check their website for available dates. Their a low cost airline.

Whats the cheapest car rental in LAX airport?

While it may be possible to find a low priced "Mom and Pop" operation, of the major players, I have always found Enterprise to be one of the lower priced rental agencies.


I would try New Frontier Car rental, located about 1 mile from LAX airport with courtesy shuttle

New Frontier Car Rental

Sepulveda

El Segundo, CA 90245

(310) 412-9506

I have always gotten the best deals from Alamo.

Which airline has direct flights from LAX or Burbank airport to Bradley airport or surrounding airports?

United and American should have direct flights from LAX to BOS (Boston Logan International). But I do not think there are any airlines that fly direct from Los Angeles into Bradley Hartford International.


Unfortunaltley no one has direct flights to Bradley airport anymore For LAX or BUR.

All require connections.

I would choose Burbank over LAX anyday becasue of its small size and good location.

Out of Burbank you can fly on Southwest and connect in Las Vegas. Southwest flight from Las Vegas to Bradley is non-stop.

You can also fly American Airlines form Burbank to Dallas and then change planes in Dallas to get to Hartford Bradley.

Good luck!

LAX -- BDL :delta, uniter, northwest, AA and continental but they are not direct unfortunately..

you can check our expedia.com then click the flights tab search for lax to bdl flights and once you have the initial result, on the left hand side of the page theres a drop down box where you can check out flights out of the surrounding airports in both LA and hartford.. hope this help

Where can I rent a VW EOS near or at LAX airport?

Most VW dealerships have a waiting list of people wanting to buy the new Eos (who have also put down a deposit). So I doubt that they have them out for rentals already.


The EOS is too new to be in rental fleets at this time. Maybe in the spring. Also, VW's are rarely in the big company fleets - did you ever see a Cabrio as a rental?

Here is a company that rents Beetle convertibles in LA:

Long layover at LAX airport. Any suggestions?

I have a 10 hour layover at LAX airport. I will have quite a few pieces of luggage. What can I do to pass the time? How do I solve the baggage problem? I don't want to be lugging my bags around. I don't really want to rent a car either because I am not familiar with the roads. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.


Are you sure you can not check your bags and have them transfer to the flight automatically? My husband and I had 12 hours in Chicago and that is what they did for us. We just got a hotel and slept. It prevent a lot of jet lag.

get a hotel room and take a nap! thats what I did in the same situation. Or watch movies in the room, or whever will make you relax. The airport should have a station with a phone that connects to hotels and they send shuttles to get you for free.

From where to where are you going? And what day of the week? When you check your bags at your starting point check them all the way thru to your final destination. That way you will not have them to bother you. When you arrive you will be on the lower level. At every terminal close to the baggage claim area there is a Travelers Aid Booth. They have lots of ideas for fun things to do between flights. Some folks rent the cheapest car available just to store their bags in if for some reason they cannot be checked all the way thru, park the car is short term parking, which is lots B & C, take a free shuttle back to the airport and take shuttles or buses or Metrorail to whatever they want to do. email me if you need more help. kingsleydr60@yahoo.com

Take Kingsley's advice on checking your bags all the way through to your final destination. Then you won't have to worry about luggage.

The day and time of your layover is important, since you don't want to go to some areas after dark. Renting a car would be a pretty good idea. By the time you pay for a cab fare one-way, you would rent a car for the entire day.

Venice Beach is really close by, or you could run up to Hollywood to see the Chinese Theater, Hollywood & Highland Complex, and Walk of Fame. It's not too hard to get up there, you can just use Google Maps for directions.

With 10 hours, that gives you a couple hours to get out of the airport, rent a car, and get to your destination, and a couple hours on the return, leaving you with 6 hours. That's enough time for the beach and/or a quick run to Hollywood (which isn't as pretty as most people think, but there's a lot of history there).

Good luck!

Okay, first get a baggage cart (they are outside of the baggage claim areas and cost ~$1.00 I think - bring a couple of dollars in quarters just in case, and more quarters in case you have to ditch it and get another one). This will bring you alot of relief! Get to know what terminal you will eventually need to go to, then look up where the international terminal is. Secondly, go to the international terminal! You will be able to get food and drinks (they actually have restaurants). Thirdly, bring a book or magazines to pass the time.

If you go into the domestic terminal, you have to go through all of the lines to get to food or drinks, however, you do not have to do this in the international terminal. The walk around to different terminals will take a little time, but it is not as bad as you think it will be. Make sure to leave plenty of time to get back to the terminal you need to be at. You can catch a shuttle (free) to take you to your terminal when the time comes to leave the international area. Good luck!!!

You might try just getting a public storage unit for one month - the small ones rent for about $70 I think. Just buy a $10 padlock there, lock it up and then go back and get it. Just make sure the storage unit's hours are the same time you'll be there for that 4 -6 hour window.

Here are the ones closest to LAX:

http://www.publicstorage.com/estimate/ssEstimateResults.aspx

They advertise $1 for the first month but you won't get that if you only stay for one month. It's have the price though and getting the unit is a really quick, simple process.

Hmm... I wonder if I can set a record for the number of answers that include "supply and demand".

Looks like you have a number of options:

Pay the luggage storage company fees. Whether you think that's reasonable or not is irrelevant. That's the market rate, which is what people are willing to pay to store their luggage.

Take your luggage with you. With luggage fees, I think this might even be more expensive than storing it in LA.

Take some of your luggage with you. Leave one in LA, and take one with you.

Leave your luggage at home. (Store it in Hong Kong). Maybe it's cheaper there.

That's about it. You need to decide.

well here an idea you could send your luggage to a Fedex office (kinkos)

(some them are are open 24 hours a day)

to your self (use the hold at location) service and I believe they will hold

for 5 days and the hold at location service is free

but you have to send it fedex EXPRESS not ground

or have them sent to your hotel in Los Angeles -maybe they provide

holding service

I am flying to Oahu, HI from Lax Airport is there anything I should know?

Having made the trip twice on United, last trip was about fifteen years ago, bring a good book, or be ready to catch up on some sleep, but remember Hawaii is about three hours later than L.A.

The flight takes about six hours. I slept most of the way, once and the next time I watched the movie and chatted with fellow plane mates.

Good luck


i flew that route in Oct 2005 on United airlines it was about 6 hours long but luckily it was a big plane it went by quick but remember to bring your own headphones for their movies and music on the plane plus i ate the food on the plane and we all got sick i think it was old plus we had to pay for it have fun

it's a REALLY long flight. bring lots of things to do. i flew from MD to LAX to HI and thats always long in itself. Just bring stuff to do so you don't get bored. iPod is always my #1 choice along with books, gum, and colored pencils. Doodling is always fun.

It sounds like a long boring flight. Take some magazines or crossword puzzles. Have fun in Hawaii!!!!

In the LAX airport, how much weight are you allowed to take on your carry bag(the one you keep with you)?

please if you have any proof of this send it to me


The airport doesn't matter. Luggage limits and charges for excess luggage are set by each individual airline.

http://www.airtran.com/policies/baggage_information.aspx

http://www.southwest.com/travel_center/baggage.html

http://www.frontierairlines.com/frontier/plan-book/travel-info-services/baggage/baggage-chart.do

http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm

There is no weight limit for your carry on, just size limit. Each airline has its own size limits, but it's generally 45 linear inches.

the weight doesnt matter, they may say on the rules and regulations on how much it should weigh but they never weigh carry on items..

http://www.aa.com

http://www.southwest.com

If you are traveling internationally some airlines (particularly non-US carriers) will weigh cabin baggage. For domestic travel I've never seen weight limits on cabin baggage enforced.

I would like to buy a USA pre paid phone in LAX airport.....does anyone know if they are sold there?

Hi, I know you can buy pre-paid simm cards there. As for phones I think I remember seeing a desk where you can hire them. If you wanna buy one or can't take one that works there I suggest going to a Radio Shack and getting one as they were really helpful to me there. Good Luck!


Try Osama's phone shop on the promenade.

you have to leave lax to get it or you can message someone like me that can get it for you

Osamas shop.- sick joke. Not everone visitng the USA is a terrorist, some people may want to keep some calls private from family and not use the mobile that's on roaming. T-Mobile is helpful. But that was in 2005.

Kingsley?? anyone!! need help ASAP with LAX airport short stay hotel?

HELP!! Have 7 hrs at LAX with 3 yr old. Friend was going to meet me but can't due to illness. Can anyone recommend a nice hotel at the airport? All I need is safety, cable tv with a cartoon channel and that's about it. Did land in LAX but there was absolutley nothing to do with luggage in tow and a child. I leave on Wed. If anyone has any suggestions, please email me back!! cheers, Liska


These are all very close to LAX and are clean, safe, and fairly affordable:

Sheraton Gateway Hotel

from $125/night

Four Points by Sheraton

from $119/night

Renaissance Montura Hotel

from $119/night

Los Angeles Airport Marriott

from $139/night

There's a nearby Holiday Inn. It's only minutes away from LAX and is located in Century Blvd. There's even a McDonald's beside that Holiday Inn. Have a safe trip!

One of our groomsmen stayed at the Travelodge Los Angeles Airport South recently. He seemed to like it okay. No frills, but in a safe nieghborhood.

There are some very decent hotels near the airport...here's a link on Expedia...

If the link doesn't work, go on expedia and find hotels under the Los Angeles Int. area

Plane spotting at LAX airport?

Ok, at LAX I know there's Imperial Hill to the south of the airport, and the In-N-Out to the NE of the airport. Just my question is, do you really get to see airplanes? From views of Imperial Hill it looks like the airport is so far and so small. So what's the deal?

And also, I would like to know what are the chances of seeing a B747 land at LAX? A380? How many landings per minute? Big airplanes? And is it true that, let's say the Southwest terminal is on the northern side of the airport. Will all Southwest flights land on the 2 runways to the north?

And if there's anything else you can tell me, please do!

Thanks!

Jerry C.


And people wonder why I don't recommend Dockweiler Beach.

Imperial Hill is a good photo location. You can get good shots of airplanes. However, at the grassy spot by In-N-Out, the planes go right OVER you as you watch. You can smell (and even taste) the jet exhaust. If there's a little fog of the himidity is high, you can see the patterns the jets exhausts make and how the cool air goes over the top of the wing and condenses, making surreal patterns.

You san see 747's, but most are on the south side by Imperial Hill. A30? You would need to check the schedule. I think the A380's are only flown by QANTAS. Singapore Air might have bought one. In any case, it's pretty rate.

Southwest uses the 2 runways to the north, since their terminal is on the north side. Makes sense, doesn't it?

I usually park on the grounds of the air freight terminal on the south side of the airport on Aviation Blvd. It is across the street from the restaurant with the fighter planes on pedestals.

It is about as close to the runways you can get without breaching security.

You're weird obsession aside, I once went to Playa Del Rey beach and was treated to the sight (and sound) of an airplane taking off from LAX every 5 minutes.

Everyone should have such as experience.

Have you been through LAX Airport lately? What did you think?

I have lived in LA for 50 years (all my life), so LAX is my hometown major airport. Every time I fly back into LAX from anywhere else, I am always shocked by how boring and even ugly the terminal and passenger areas are. I am embarrassed to say this is my airport. And millions of visitors pass through this airport every year. So much could be done with new colorful paint, displayed artwork and even automated billboards and such. Other airport terminals I have seen around the U. S. are always more pleasing to look at and make a good impression on visitors. I want the same at LAX. Am I alone? Anyone else notice this?


I went through the LAX Airport in July 2007. I was extremely disappointed to see how the inside of the airport looked. I was also extremely disappointed to see the LAX Airport's space age theme Restaurant's arches being remodeled. It would had been nice ro see the Restaurant's arches "as is" before the remodeling started.

By the way, I am proud to say that I was born in the state of California, in the county of Santa Clara, in the city of San José. :-)

LAX always has been awful. They give over what used to be the jewel in the crown resturant in the middle to staff. Last time I was there in 1996 the International terminal was a building site. My plane was delayed and we got vouchers for a meal, the game was to find somewhere ANYWHERE to actually get something edible. If I ever go to Southern CA again I'll fly to San Diego or SFO and get a flight to John Wayne OC instead.

LAX is a dump. I was shocked the first time I was there. My hometown airport is SeaTac. It is much nicer. O'Hare is really nice too. You'd think they could improve on that eyesore.

It is very boring considering its in LA. There are a lot of people but not enough stores. It boring, it makes you wanna get on that plane as soon as possible.

Yes I definitly agree!!!

Jonas brothers leaving LAX airport....?

i'm not a stalker im just a HUGE fan! on joe-jonas.com it shows some pictures of them and it says that they were departuring from the LAX airport October 3 where were they going??? like what state


They're heading over to Europe to do a few shows. It says their next one is on October 5. So I'm guessing they were leaving a couple days early, to get there, get used to the time change, rehearse, etc.

.........

that's kinda scary!! :) i dunno where they were going.

Is there a train that connects from san diego to LAX(L.A.airport)?

best way to los angles airport(LAX) from san diego by way of train?


Take Amtrak's Pacific surfliner from San Diego to Union Station in LA. Then you can catch the LAX flyaway bus out in front of the station for $5.

Easy breezy.

First take the Coaster to Oceanside station, then change to the Metrolink and ride to LA Union Station (If there is an Amtrak service that bypasses LA Union Station you can take that one; ask around first). Then from Union Station take the LA Metro to LAX/Aviation station, where you have to get onto a bus to the terminals (a very quick bus ride; this is essential because there is no train going into the airport complex). Allow at least 3-5 hours before your time of departure at LAX.

the other posters gave yoy some good answeers

there is anotther posssible this one adviods Downtown LA)

if you take Amtrak (or coaster to Oceanside then take Metrolink to the Norwalk station, there you can transfer to the Metrolink shuttle (Norwak transit) take thiss bus to Norwalk Green Line station, then Green line to Aviation station then the free lax

shuttle bus into the terminals

Yeah, Amtrak goes from SD to LA. From the LA station, you'll have to take the Flyaway shuttle, which goes directly to the airport and drops you off at any terminal.

San diego to union staion. then shuttle to the Airport. I am looking forward to the day they have a Metro Line to the Airport.

There are no trains, subways or light rail of any kind at LAX. There is a combo convoluted ways to do it for local L.A. residents and experts like MobileMark, but just do what Obviousman said.......ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE LUGGAGE....

Do what obviousman said, or you could just fly out of San Diego if that's an option.

Blue lit towers @ LAX airport??

does anyone know about the blue-lit towers @ LAX airport? Any historical info?


Los Angeles International Airport’s (LAX’s) series of 100-foot-high colorfully lit pylons and 32-foot-high letters spelling out “LAX” have become a landmark and symbolic gateway of LAX since their commemoration on August 8, 2000.

The distinctive, architectural structures welcoming travelers to LAX were part of an overall multi-million dollar construction and landscaping program designed to make the airport more welcoming and convenient for the nearly 62 million passengers who use the airport annually. The LAX Gateway pylons are the most well-known example of public art in Los Angeles, and are visible to airline passengers from 3,000 feet high.

The 1.5-mile lineup of 11 translucent, tempered glass columns increase in height from 25 to 60 feet along Century Boulevard and culminate with a “Gateway Circle” of 15 100-foot-tall columns at the intersection of Century and Sepulveda Boulevards. The pylons are lit from dusk to dawn daily.

The pylons consist of structural steel support frames that are encased in a layer of translucent, tempered glass. They are part of an overall design developed by a team headed by the architectural firm of Ted Tokio Tanaka in Marina del Rey, California. The primary theme of the Gateway LAX project is aviation and the diverse culture of the City of Los Angeles. The pylons are oriented skyward and are designed to mimic an aircraft takeoff pattern.

The original kinetic program of color sequences that illuminates the pylons was created by Los Angeles lighting artist Paul Tzanetopoulos in 2000. Additional color sequence programs designed by internal Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) staff have been installed.

The pylons were built as a $15-million component of a $115-million Gateway LAX Enhancement Project. The project’s improvements also included improved signage and lighting, an improved public address system for the terminals on the Lower/Arrivals Level, public art installations and practical and aesthetic improvements.

During 2006, LED (light-emitting diode) technology was installed during a major refurbishment of the pylons performed by LAWA staff. The LEDs are 75 percent more energy-efficient than the original theatrical lighting system. Because the LEDs burn less electricity while providing more vibrant hues, LAWA’s annual electricity costs for the pylons was cut by 75 percent to $18,000, as compared to $73,000 with the original system. The new, more reliable system also requires less maintenance, reducing annual maintenance costs to $20,000, compared to $1 million with the former system. The new system also offers a display palette of more than 16 million colors.

The total cost of the upgrade was $2.5 million, including $1.18 million for the LED light fixtures, installation, and contracts for programming and sequencing the displays. Replacing the original theatrical-style lighting equipment with new but similar parts would have cost $4.3 million.

Scarlet, you know the expression "You wouldn't know art if it came up and bit you in the ***" ????? Well this project prompted the invention of that statement.

Los Angeles Airport (LAX) how to go from there to 12400 WILSHIRE BLVD. # 300 (Italian Consulate)?

I need to go from L.A airport (LAX) to the Italian Consulate 12400 WILSHIRE BLVD. # 300

could anyone tell me exactly (step by step) how to get there by a public transportation (no taxi)

Please avoid stupid answers as "walking" , "riding a horse" ecc.

thanks


I work at LAX. The best way is to take a Shuttle. (Yes Taxi's are the most expensive). So the shuttle is much more reasonable. Sorry, I am not sure of the price. When you arrive you will be on the lower level. Outside there are different colored signs. Go to the Orange sign. The dispatchers (employees) are right there. Every terminal has an Orange sign. Ask them the price. There are two. Super Shuttle and Primetime Shuttle. Their prices are almost identical. You can also take bus. It would cost very little, but takes longer. Go to... www.mta.net and put in LAX and your address and it will give you exact directions. To catch a bus...go to the Blue sign and get on shuttle bus "C". This is a free shuttle that will take you from the airport to the bus depot that is right outside the airport. The bus is $5.00 for an all day pass. About $1.50 to $2.25 for one way.

Okay from any lax terminal you first board a Lot C bus take

this to the city bus terminal ((sometime the driver will

let off before the bus turns into the lax

then you walk to 96th/Vicksburg

here you have a choice of buses to take

you could board a (Blue Bus) Santa Monica line #3 (or the Rapid 3)

pay this driver $1.50 (thats 75cents for the fare and 50cents for the transfer) take this into Santa Monica (get off at 4th and Santa Monica blvd and at same stop board Santa ,Monica

line #2 take this bus to Wilshire at McClellan

and your destination is right there

the other option is to take Culver city (Green bus)

pay this driver $1.00 ask for inter-agency transfer

then take this bus to Veturn and Wilshire (or Lindbrook/Westwood)

cross the street then board Santa Monica line 2 to your destination

note route might take a little longer due to traffic in Westwood

How long does it take to go from Terminal 2 to Terminal 4 in LAX (Los Angeles) Airport?

LAX is a big airport but from 2 to 4 you can walk if you don't have bulky luggage. It will take you maybe 10 minutes.

Additional information:

1.5 hours is plenty of time, don't worry :-)


There are free shuttles that constantly circle the airport and stop at each terminal. It's probably best to just wait a few minutes for the shuttle than walking to the other side of the airport. It takes just a few minutes to take the shuttle and you should have plenty of time to make your connection.

http://www.lax-airport.net/terminals_transfer.html

take the tram its faster

1.5 hours is plenty of time to get from terminal 2 to 4. You can easily walk between the terminals. Just as others have said, it should only take about 15 minutes or so to walk between the terminals.

In 1.5 hours you could walk to all of the terminals several times, and stop by Starbucks for a coffee.

Forget the shuttles, you'll wait longer for them than it would take you just to walk over to the other terminal.

Most of LAX terminals are okay, except the international terminal. It's a zoo.

What's the cheapest way to get from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to the Los Angeles Cruise Port?

We're going to be driving from Phoenix to LAX in a rental car to pick up a cruise from the Los Angeles Cruise Port and we're trying to figure out a cheap way to get between the two (LAX and the cruise port), both ways.......


"Travelgirl218" is correct. Supershuttle would be the quickest way there, and cheaper than taking a taxi.

To check up on your driver, you will go south on I-405, south on Ca-110, exit Gaffy Street under the Vincent Thomas Bridge to the Cruise terminal.

Just curious. If your cruise isn't that long, why not just keep the car? A couple days rental will be about the same as the shuttle ride, but if it's a longer cruise turning it in would be more economical.

PS: I'm willing to bet that you are going to get someone suggesting you use public transportation, the RED line and the GREEN line, and this bus, and that bus. That is too confusing for people who are not intimately knowledgeable about the area. Stick with the "Shuttle".

well you use Public transit and its just 3 buses

you first take the G Bus to the Aviation Terminal

(pay $1.25 or get a day pass for $3.00)

then take the Green Line to the Harbor freeway stop

then go upstairs to the freeway stops and board a line 446

bus to San Pedro,,

Either super Shuttle, Prime time or a town car.

I would try super shuttle

The best and easiest way(affordable too) to go to "LOS ANGELES GREYHOUND STAT 1716 E 7TH ST, from LAX Airport?

Is there any shuttle, train or bus service from LAX (Los Angeles) Airport to GREYHOUND STA ,1716 E 7TH ST, Los Angeles ? like we have transport services from JFK or La Guardia. I checked its 19 miles from LAX Airport. How much is for cab from airport?please Help.Thanks in advance, and promise for 5 stars.


From what I gather, you live in New York, and you want to travel to Victorville to visit your sister. You would also like to save as much money as possible.

Travel hints that may help:

Purchase your airline ticket as far in advance as possible, and directly from the airlines website. Delta seems to be the lowest. (14 & 21 day discounts. No travel agents commissions).

Pack light. No more than two suitcases. Victorville is in the desert, it gets very hot. You won't need warm clothing there.

Greyhounds L.A. terminal is in one of the more dangerous areas of town. Don't wonder around outside. To get there from LAX use either the shuttle service or the Fly away bus to Union Station, then city bus to greyhounds terminal.(they run every 20 minutes).

There is no rail service to Victorville, it's Greyhound or nothing.

When you go back home to New York, I assume your sister will drive you to the airport (probably Ontario).

Just as a wild thought, consider flying to Las Vegas, cab to the Greyhound terminal at 200 Main Street, and Greyhound to Victorville. Roughly the same price, all things taken into account. Less "hastle".

why would you take Greyhound when they leave you

stranded? and have very crowded bus where you have to stand

for hours on end, or have a restroom that overflows spilling

sewage all over the floor or have a bus catch fire

or be a station when the regular run pulls though packed

to gills you are told that there will be another bus along

:"shortly! 11 hours later one comes -that's short?

now do you still want to take Greyhound?

Stay away from Cabs-tooooo much money-there is an AIRPORTER Bus that goes downtown to the Bus Station- check the info center at the airport- also, call SUPERSHUTTLE and ask about prices...

OK, I work at LAX and heres the plan. When you arrive you will be on the lower level. Get your luggage and go outside. Overhead you will see different colored signs. Go to the Orange overhead sign. You will see 2 people, one with a blue jacket (Supershuttle) and one with a red/black jacket (Primetime Shuttle). Just tell them where you are going and they will get you there. Its much cheaper than a Taxi. My guess is $15 to $25. A taxi would be about $40 to $50. All terminals have an Orange sign. Check at the Travelers Aid booth if you are unsure about where to find the orange sign. They are located in every terminal.

Why do you need to go to the grayhound staion? You can travel much safer on the Amtrak or metrolink. Just look for the GREEN signs for the flyaway bus that will take you to Union Station for the measly cost of $3 ($4 beginning July 1).

From there, you can take Amtrak almost anywhere that grayhound will go. If you must, you can either walk or take a cab from there to Grayhound.

Cab fare will be around $42. Take the flyaway.

LAX Airport Careers?

Ok, I'm near the end of my junior year in high school. So I'm starting to think about a career. Something that interests me is, working at LAX International Airport. Can someone give me, some job descriscptions, that involve working at any airpot. And maybe throw in some advantages and also, disadantages. Thank you!


A relative of mine is a LAX Police Officer. He works a lot of weird hours, but his pay is pretty decent.

Will airport security at LAX detect small metal objects such as lock picks?

Airport security has gotten a lot tighter of late, and I'm sure they will detect any metal you have. If there's something you shouldn't be carrying, don't.


Sure will..............

LAX Airport Terminals?

Hi, I'm traveling to LAX airport this winter, and arriving at Terminal 3 with Virgin America. Is it possible to walk to the International Terminal, so I can take pictures for my flickr account? or is it not possible?


http://www.lawa.org/lax/terminalMap.cfm

As you can see, TA3 is just next to Int'l terminal. You can go to there within few minutes by pedestrian walk or free shuttle bus(one way counterclockwisely, so same as just next stop)

You can take pictures with no problem.

Terminal 3 is right next to the International Terminal, about a one minute walk away. Shouldn't be any problem taking a picture or two, but it's probably best not to take pictures of sensitive areas or operations, that might draw the attention of security.

http://www.lawa.org/lax/terminalMap.cfm

Terminal 3 is right next to Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) just exit term 3 and walk to ur right... theres no need to take the shuttle.... I worked there too.. and took bunch of pix for my flickr account 2!! lol Its fun huh!?

Yeah, it's right next door. Or you can take a shuttle around the loop.

At the LAX airport are you allowed to bring...?

I am going to go on an airplane for the fist time so I don't know the "rules" very well. I was just wondering if you could bring any of the following with out getting it "confiscated"...

camera

laptop

nintendo ds (xD)

ipod

shampoo (wondering because I know you can't bring water...?)

Okay. Thanks~!


yes you can bring those things, like ashlee said about a camera with film in, best not too as when it goes through the xray machine the film gets exposed, but a digital camera would be fine.For shampoo or any liquids (you can bring water!) but.. it can't be anymore than 100ml per item and it must be placed in a clear visible zip up bag... check with the airline for more info.

you can bring all of those, just make sure the shampoo is under 3 ounces if its going in your carryon. if its going in ur checked luggage it DOES NOT have to be under 3 ounces.

you can bring all those things except a camera with film in it. digital cameras are okay. but shampoo is okay but not in the carry on.

everything u can take but u cannot take the shampoo if its over 3 ounces or you could jsut put it in ur luggage

What does LAX stand for [reffering to the airport in Los Angeles] 10 points for answer!?

What does LAX mean, I think its like Los Angeles..something, whats the X stand for?

and shouldnt it be LAIA instead of LAX,because LAIA would be 'Los Angeles International Airport'?


LAX stands for the Los Angeles International Airport. X has no significant meaning, it's a commonly used airport code through out the united states. !!

"Before the 1930s, existing airports used a two-letter abbreviation based on the weather station at the airports. So, at that time, LA served as the designation for Los Angeles International Airport. But, with the rapid growth in the aviation industry, the designations expanded to three letters, and LA became LAX. The letter X does not otherwise have any specific meaning in this identifier.[11] Portland International Airport in Oregon also has a similar code: PDX. "LAX" is also used for the International Port of Los Angeles located in San Pedro and for the Amtrak-serving Union Station in downtown."

Wikipedia can be your friend. ;)

All airports have 3 letter codes. Some like Philadelphia (PHL) easily make sense. Others like Orlando (MCO) have stories behind them.

The X stands for International. It's not the only airport where the X stands for international. Jacksonville International (JAX) is the same.

It does stand for Los Angeles Int'l Airport. All airports use three-letter acronyms. Not all of them are intuitive and X is used frequently for International. Portland International is PDX.

I think they named it LAX because it makes you feel calm (reLAX) even though traveling there is stressful. Personally, I use LGB, which makes me feel a lot more lax.

It comes from the name of the weather station.

See wikipedia's LAX article.

How many miles is it from LAX to Honolulu International Airport?

It is shy of 2500 however the flight time is right under 6 hours!! It's coming to LA that is right around 5 hours!!


A little under 2500 miles and a little over 5hrs

A shade under 2500 -- about 5 hours flight time.

about 2487 miles give or take a few miles

thats right!!

What's the best rental car agency at Los Angeles Airport (LAX)?

When I use Orbitz.com, I notice that to rent a car for a week, it's anywhere from $104 to $350 for any economy sized vehicle. I don't mind spending some money, but I'd like to know why there is such a broad range in price for essentially similar cars.


Check out Enterprise

BUDGET!!

I work for an airline at airport. It is best to check online first, but don't book online............CALL THE 800# to book via phone. I've found it's cheaper. Amazing, huh?

I have had a good experience with Enterprise, I recently used Avis, as part of a package deal thing and there were 100 people in the "express VIP" check in and 100 people in the regular check in just to get a car...I won't use Avis or Hertz because they are "too popular", which means too long lines....You think I am exaggerating but the friggin line was through the inside ropes, out the door and out into the parking lot...I am not kidding...(To be fair drop off was fast, but pick up takes forever..) You have all these planes landing and everyone is hoping on the shuttle to Avis and Hertz...not good...They need more facilities...

Many different factors from time of the year, week, and simply supply and demand for each car rental company.

My experience from renting cars from Texas, California and New York is that Enterprise usually has the less expensive rates.

Do you have AAA? This can make your decision easier since they do business with multiple car rental companies.

To get an informed answer, call a couple of the rental places at LAX and tell them what your bare essentials are, compare prices and try to haggle with them if your not satisfied by saying you could get the same car for a cheaper price from another company.

Good Luck!

Dollar or Enterprise.

"18kTravel" is a good site to search for rental cars.

http://www.ytbtravel.com/18ktravel

I work at LAX. Most of them are very close in price. Instead of using Orbitz go to the individual website. Hertz, Avis, Dollar, Budget, Enterprise, etc. You can get a better deal going directly to the company.

Some small rental agency have restriction, 100 miles per day, within local state or surrounding, out of town driver, no mileage reward....check its policy.

Big companies have more locations and easy to assist you if you have trouble.

UCSB to LAX Airport?

This year I will be a freshman at UCSB. In order to get home, I need to fly into Sacramento. Normally I would be able to use Santa Barbara Airport to fly directly to Sacramento, but I recently heard that this option will no longer be available after some time in September. This means I need to use LAX. My question is if there is a direct route to LAX or what are some ways for me to get there? Thanks in advance.


The Santa Barbara Airbus is a bus that goes from Goleta to LAX multiple times a day. I'll give you the link below. Your other option is to fly from SBA to LAX.

Anyone know about LAX airport?

Hi there, I am travelling to Calgary via LAX w. 3 yr old. Is there anything I can do with him there? can you smoke outside terminal? and DVD's-don't want to take originals as they'll get scratched,lost etc. Can I make a copy & bring it-would be for PERSONAL use only?? any replies greatly appreciated. Want DVD's for backup in airport.


I work at lax and am not quite sure what you are asking. What are you asking about DVD's? If you want to bring your own dvd's, bring them. Put them in your carry-on. And yes you can smoke outside every terminal. As for what to do, how much time will you have between flights? Are you flying Air Canada or changing airlines? If you stay close to the gates there are restaurants and gift shops. If you leave the gate area outside security you can go to the Tom Bradley Terminal and upstairs there are a few things to do outside security. Do you want and have time to leave LAX? Do you want to go shopping at a Mall? Need to know exactly what you are asking and I will be happy to try and help you. kingsleydr60@yahoo.com

First, Nobody is going to care what is on your DVD's so don't worry about them.

Second, Qantas arrives at either Tom Bradley or Terminal 4, depending on space. LAX does have a volunteer program but it is rare to see one. Your best bet would be to get one of the Smart Carts and pile your luggage on it. Tou can either walk to Terminal 2, or take the Airline Connections shuttle. Walking would probably be easier, as the busses don't allow Smart Carts so that would be a waste of money.

Smoking is allowed outside the terminals

LAX is not very "Kid Friendly" like some of the other airports and there are no real Kid Zones. There is a semi-open area between Terminal 1 and 2 with some benches on the lower level. It is outside so you can smoke and he can sit on the bench and color or something. Good Luck and have a safe trip. If I didn't have school on Wednesday I would come down and help you myself.

Terminal two at lax is where air Canada lands, not much to do there with a three year old. I try to spend as little time there as possible. also you wont have any access to the out side once you pass through security so no smoking ( if you have a kid with you you shouldn't smoke anyway BTW)

A good place to start looking would be the official LAX website: http://www.iflylax.com/

Hope this helps.

How to get from LAX airport to Orange county?

my wife & I with our two children (3 & 9) will be in LA for the first time what is the best & optimal way to reach to orange county, we have 6 to 8 luggage's


Best way is to take a shuttle. Super Shuttle or Primetime Shuttle. When you arrive and get you luggage, so outside to the Orange overhead sign. The dispatchers are right there to help you. If you are going to a hotel close to Disneyland, you can also take the Disneyland Express bus. It runs every 30 minutes from the Green sign. Any more info needed? kingsleydr60@yahoo.com

since you have that much luggage I would suggest prime time or super shuttle but with that much luggage they might charge you extra

(and since you have that much luggage the airline will also charge extra

for all that luggage at $10 to $25 a bag

to save you some money you might want to fedex your luggage

from your starting point) to your hotel in Orange country

it might save you some money

rent a car, the public transportation system leaves something to be desired. and airport shuttle service, ie primetime and supershuttle can be cost prohibitive. a reasonable rental franchise is enterprise

www.enterprise.com

unless you got money to burn I wouldnt fedex my luggage. but it never hurts to enquirer.

With so much luggage, public transport will not be feasible. You can take a Super Shuttle or PrimeTime shuttle. They are readily available in the arrival area. Just go outside the terminal and you will see the booth.

taxi is faster

Wow, that other guy gave you some good leads!

I use Priceline when I stay in the South Bay or near LAX and every time I've got a nice hotel -- and for less than I'd have paid for a Motel 6 (which is another good option. There's one very near LAX and next to the freeway, so Carson is just a few miles down the road.)

Twice I stayed at the Clarion, which was a perfectly fine motel style hotel. The last time I was there, it was being remodeled, so it should even be a better stay. It's right next to the freeway

so getting to LAX will be a breeze. It's also near a shopping center (you can walk it pretty easily), so finding food will be no sweat.

I've been using Priceline for years, and I usually bid around $50.00, sometimes a little higher during a busy time. I've never had a bad stay. Sometimes that $50 gets me into a luxury hotel -- which is REAL nice (but then I have to pay for parking, which is another $15.00).

Good luck.

Inside lax airport?

Hi, Does anybody know the cheapest way to get from LAX to John wayne airport (@9.30pm on a thursday)?

I am a studen visiting Los Angeles in April 2008. I land into LAX on the 10th April @ 20.37pm. Does anybody know the cheapest option for me to get from LAX to John Wayne Airport? I dont mind what mode of transport, just the cheapest option. Kind regards!


Super Shuttle is probably the cheapest, since you'll share a van with other people. A cab would be more expensive. Rapid Transit in LA is an oxymoron, so don't expect to hop a bus or train:)

since you are landing kind of late the easier way to use

an airport express bus with a connection at Disneyland

or you could super shuttle (it will be more direct)

if you were landing earlier you could take transit but since you are landing after 6pm there not much transit in that area after 7PM

dont they have shuttle buses or something. trains. or hitch a ride from someone goin down there from lax.lol

dang,I'm not sure there are much options,why did you book the flight to lax,if you are going to oc anyways? for the price of the ticket to be cheaper maybe,but now look in the long run,you still gotta get down there and they might cost you.

Bummer dude, good luck though.

Is there a public bus to Los Angeles (LAX airport) from Phoenix,AZ(sky Harbor airport) ?

yes - several per day www.greyhound.com

LAX (airport) still prohibiting cosmetics?

I will be traveling soon, and I was wondering if LAX (airport) is still having restrictions on taking cosmetics along such as gel, body sprays, etc...A website where I can find this information?


Not exclusive to LAX but TSA has mandated that all liquids or gels in your carry on luggage must be 3.4 ounces and under and fit in ONE quart size clear plastic bag. For example lipstick and mascara do count as a liquid or gel. You must also declare your liquid/gels that are in your carry on when you go through security. There are no restrictions to liquid or gels in your checked luggage, as long as there is nothing flammable.

www.tsa.gov

Check the TSA website for prohibited and permitted items - link is below.

You could take up to 3oz of any kind of liquids and it has to fit in a zip lock bag that the TSA will provide you. Again it has to be less than 3oz. Any lotion, shampoo,hair stray any liquids.

the AIRPORT DOES NOT PROHITED cosmetic

the TSA DOES not the airport!

get it right

that would all the ticket agents could take makeup !

Only Estee Lauder...

GYM in LAX airport?

The Radisson at LAX is right in the airport. Can travellers get a day pass? How much?


Usually due to security reasons, hotels don't allow non-guests from utilizing their services such as gyms. The Westin at LAX has a great gym. You might want to give them a ring. Radisson Hotels don't honor requests for day passes. Their number is (310) 216-5858.

Their website mentions nothing about a day pass.

Transit Hotel in (or nearby) LAX airport?

Is there any transit hotel inside the airport or within very close proximity to LAX airport?


There are lots of hotels close to the airport and they offer free shuttle service to and from the airport. Some are: Motel 6 on Century; Super 8 on Airport Bl.; Hacienda on Sepulveda Bl.; Holiday Inn on La Cienega Bl; Radisson on Century Bl; Marriott, Four Points Sheraton; Hilton. and lots more. When you arrive on the lower level close to the baggage claim area, every terminal has a Travelers Aid Booth that can help you. There are also Kioske (sp), just push Lodging.

Sug, there is a ring of every conceivable hotel all around the airport, they are among the least expensive rates (due to competition) in Los Angeles.....all the major hotels have milk...but there are few stores to walk to, to get it and it's not a good area to be walking around anyway..

There is nothing but hotels around LAX. Pick your favorite chain hotel and check in.

As for milk, we're more of a soy milk/rice milk kind of town, but I'm sure there's an obliging cow somewhere.

there is no hotel inside Lax (at one time there use to be)

there a lot of hotels in the vicinity of lax (most with a free shuttle from lax

to their property

Any pointers on navigating the enormous LAX airport if you have never been there?

EX.) finding bags, info.


It's enormous, but it's not that hard. Everything has signs and there are plenty of people to ask. You didn't say if you are connecting or just flying in and going to baggage claim. If you are connecting, some airlines have shuttle service between gates inside security. If you are just looking to find baggage claim, head downstairs. The lower level of the terminals is where you pick up your bags. Upper is for departures/ticketing. If you get deperate, there is usually a terminal map inside the inflight magazines you can take with you.

Ya, follow the signs, follow the people, and when in doubt...ask somebody that looks like they know what's going on.

Here's a link for you:

LAX Airport Lounges?

I plan to take a trip to New York and I will be going to the LAX airport. I have the Priority Pass which gives access to delta crown which is termal 5 and alaska which is terminal 3. However, I will be flying american airline, will I still have access to these lounges? And how far are they apart and which is better? Thanks


I have a Priority Pass and they are not affiliated with any specific airline, it also doesn't make any difference which airline you are flying on to be able to use the Priority Pass, but as you know, you are restricted to certain lounges. If you are an elite AAvantage member or flying 1st or business class you can use the American Airlines lounge otherwise you will need to use the lounges you mentioned that accept the Priority Pass. Here's a map of LAX, they also provide a free shuttle that will take you to any of the terminals:

http://www.lawa.org/lax/terminalMap.cfm

American Airlines uses Terminal 4 which is right next to Terminal 5. Good luck.

Take a look at the terminal chart. Usually they will have one posted up and will show you how the terminals are connected. You practically can't miss the giant terminal maps they put up everywhere. But becareful though, one time I was in a terminal that look connected but they weren't. I had to take a trolley all the way around. But I think that was like Dallas airport or something.

Well you are in luck. I dont know if you would still be able to use them but American Airlines use Terminal 4.

Like I said, I have no idea if you can still use the lounge but I wouldnt as you would have to check in, change terminal, go to the lounge, go back, then line up for security ect.

Good Luck anyway

You may or may NOT be able to do it. I also have Priority Pass, but one of the "gotchas" is that you will have to leave the "secure" side of the airport to get over to Terminal 3 or Terminal 5.

The exception is that American USED to have a shuttle that would go between T4 and T3 on the tarmac. However, that was when they still had gates at both terminals. I think they have consolidated them now. However, it doesn't hurt to ask once you are at the airport.

How far is Montebello from LAX airport?

Montebello from LAX is about 28-30 miles.

It takes about 30 minutes with no traffic to get there but unfortunately this is LA and traffic is part of it. Usually after 9am till 3pm traffic is OK and moving well. So I think you should be fine if you come in early. If not your looking at adding on maybe another 15-30 min to your drive. Good luck!


It is a suburb and it is about 25 miles depending where you are going

28 miles

36 minutes depending on traffic

http://maps.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTExNmIycG51BF9TAzI3MTYxNDkEc2VjA2ZwLWJ1dHRvbgRzbGsDbGluaw--#mvt=m&lat=33.975565&lon=-118.2566&mag=7&q1=90640&q2=lax

On Yahoo's homepage click on maps and check the mileage. Its about 20ish miles. Go to the Orange sign at LAX and take a shuttle....Super Shuttle or Primetime Shuttle.

To travel from LAX airport to Disneyland resort area, which is the cheap and safe mode of transportation?

We are a family of 4 people (2 are kids).


Seems no one has given you a straight answer. I will...I work at LAX and send folks to Disneyland everyday. When you arrive you are on the lower level. Get your baggage and go outside. Overhead you will see different colored signs. There are two signs that will provide transportation to Disneyland/Hotels in Anaheim. The Orange sign are our Shuttles. Supershuttle and Primetime Shuttle. Both are good and the dispatchers are right there under the Orange sign. Supershuttle person has a Blue jacket and Primetime has a red/black jacket. The other way is under the Green sign. These are the regular Disneyland buses that stop at different hotels. They run about every 30 minutes. Its very easy to get transportation from LAX to Disneyland area. A taxi would be too expensive. But if money is not a problem, take a taxi. Good luck.

there is also public transit -its not that bad from

Lax to Disneyland

and it will cost just $6.25 total

thats if you just pay $1.25 on the Green Line and $1.25

for the 460 line to Disneyland

and assuming your kids are over 5 as well (under

5 kids ride free)

or you could get a day (in July they will be $5.00 each

which is quite a bite but it will help with transfers and

for the return trip (if done in the same day)

if chose transit

you first board a Lax G Shuttle taking that

shuttle to the Green Line Aviation terminal

then buy your ticket from the Ticket vending machines

(thats $1.25 per person) take the Green line to Norwalk

(last station) then board the 460 directly to Disneyland

and pay that driver another $1.25 per person

(or you could get a day pass from the Green Line ticket

vending machine)

Taxi's would be too dear & I'd not suggest public buses.

They may do shuttle buses outside the airport exit. You get about 8-12 people on one shuttle bus & it cuts the cost down considerably.

Have a great time! :)

There are several shuttle busses to the Anaheim/Disneyland Resort Area, but I suggest you try renting a car (even though you have to deal with traffic, is the best way to get around in Southern Cal., thats what we're doing!)

you need to call the disneyland hotel and speak with the concierge there. they are most knowlegable when it comes to these things. they might have a shutle or super shuttle can pick you up as well. That what i normally recommend for people who want to travel inexpensive.

The safe way is taxi but its not cheap you can hope on the bus but that'll take all day.

Your Hotel should have a shuttle, I remember seeing Disney Shuttles when deboarding at LAX. Otherwise, look online for shuttle services, as they are a lot cheaper especially if you arrange ahead of time. Prime Shuttle was the company I always used and liked them well.

See what the Disneyland reasort recommends. I know that they make deals with some limo companies.

blue line bus system, or something like that. We use them every time,( do a search for "anaheim shuttle bus".) on google. I recommend flying into Orange County/John Wayne airport rather than LAX if you have not booked tickets yet. Way closer, cleaner, easier. Usually costs just a bit less too.

Does LAX have bathrooms before airport security?

I know that LAX has bathrooms near the gates after security, but what about before going through security?


yes there are restrooms before secuirty (usually around the

Ticket counters or baggage claim

They have bathrooms on the plane. Deal with it during the flight, before the pilot turns on the pre-landing seatbelt sign. Once you get off the plane, they will watch you like vultures.

I am assuming you just need something personal to get you through the flight and then dump. If it is anything else, you are a silly mofo to try and get it through airport security. The newspapers have made them look stupid and they are not happy about it. They will eat your soul like a fun-size bag of skittles.

By the way, you might consider Narcotics Anonymous.

No offense intended. Godspeed.

There are bathroom at every terminal before airport security. They are usually around the check-in counters.

What Airlines are you taking? Last time mines was Delta in Lax, and my bathroom was near my gate. I think it was Gate 21 or something like that.. so please tell flight :D

There better be.

My bra has metal on the straps, does anybody know how LAX airport deals with that?

Small amounts of metal are not a problem (clasps, underwires, decoration, etc.).


that shouldnt go off. i fly every weekend and it has never been set off for me. sometimes i wear adidas sports pants that have all the metal buttons down the side and that doesnt even set it off.

i dont think it should matter...many women have metal on..or in their bras...they arent gonna make you take it off or anything....if your really that concerned maybe just wear a wireless sports bra...but i dont think it should matter

If I am flying To honolulu, hi From Lax Airport do my children need there Birth Certificates?

Since Hawaii is considered the US, you children won't need anything. You would need some sort of ID though. Driver's license will work.


No. Since Hawaii is one of the United States, you have theoretically not left the "States". (Have a good trip, and give my regards to Mona Loa!)

Oh my goodness. Honey...listen. I am a resident of the Big Island of Hawaii. Just to let you know... Hawaii is one of the 50 states. Its the 50th. And no, we don't run around in little grass skirts and coconut bras, live in grass huts and do the hula all day. You don't need a Birth Certificate for your kids!

P.S. If you've read your other answers: Its "Mauna" Loa not Mona Loa. I'm not trying to be mean, but the Hawaiian people really are sensitive about people saying and spelling their words wrong.

Have a nice trip.

According to American Airlines you MAY have to present birth certificates to prove your childrens ages. I would check with your airline. I think if your children are small you probably wont have a problem. Anyone over 18 has to have a legimate photo ID.

Hawaii is one of the United States. Unless you are not an American citizen you won't even need a passport.

Can someone tell me a great place to visit within 200 miles of Los Angeles lax airport?

Los Angeles Zoo

San Diego Zoo

San Diego Zoo wild animal park in Escondido

J. Paul Getty Museum

Griffith Observatory

Hollywood Walk of Fame

La Brea Tar Pits

Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden

Venice, Los Angeles

Los Angeles County Museum of Art

Disneyland

Santa Monica beach

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sites_of_interest_in_the_Los_Angeles_area


Most of the places you mentioned in your previous question are roughly 400 miles from LAX, except Las Vegas which is about 280.

As stated, most of the "Touristy" things in Southern California are within the 200 mile radius. For a specific item may I suggest Hearst Castle near San Simeon.

If you still plan to attempt your original itinerary, I would suggest from LAX going to Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Yosemite Park, San Francisco, and back to LAX via Highway 1 / 101, (the coast route), or do it in reverse order. This would be a great big circular trip.

My vote goes to the beautiful city of San Diego. There are lots to do there. The San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park, Sea World, Legoland, harbor cruises and sandy beaches, Old Town San Diego, San Diego Aerospace Museum, World War II mothball fleet, San Diego Padres and Chargers, Mission Bay, Del Mar Racetrack and nearby Tijuana, Mexico, to name a few.

Most things that people want to see are within 200 miles of the airport; every major attraction.

Can you tell me what you like to do? Because there is something for everybody.

Have you transited Los Angeles LAX airport and (or) Phoenix, AZ PHX airport?

Hello everybody,

I am going to flight from USA to Asia next week and I have never been in Los Angeles LAX or Phoenix, AZ PHX airports. I will need to change planes in both airports.

Have anybody transited any of these airports? Could you share your experiences? Was it easy & friendly to transit? How about the signs? Distance between terminals?

Thank you for your answers!


L.A. is tougher than Pheonix Sky Harbor.

Terminal four LAX (Tom Bradley) has majority of international flights. You will likely come into a domestic terminal and need to transfer. There is the red bus, outside curb bottom level, or just walk. Takes about 20 minutes max to get to T4 from anywhere inside LAX

Skyharbor is easier...lots of indoor links between terminals and moving sidewalks. Skyharbor is large so again figure 20 minutes max and pay attention to gates since each terminal has two and soemtimes three wings, just focus on gate and look up for signs. Won't be a big deal.

tom bradley is not terminal 4 the tom bradley is the International

Terminal, (I joking say its termnal 3 and 1/2 (since its half way between the Terminal3 and terminal 4 buildings

Termnal 4 houses American airlines. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20061204221208AAJhmGC&kid=NbUvWjK.VzUFdxgNLWW8&s=comm&date=2006-12-30+20%3A42%3A17&.crumb=

Los Angeles is not all that huge, you should be o.k. Make sure about the location of the terminal is. You will most likely come to domestic side. Find out that the international flight u are taking is from Tom Bradley International or other. Tom Bradley is adjacent to other terminals. For Tom Bradley you have to go to the end. I have been to Phoenix too. I am sure u will not have a problem. Make sure you ask the workers at the airport to direct you.

Is there a free shuttle service at Los Angeles (LAX) Airport??

Los Angeles California. Is there a free shuttle service to Downtown LA or to somewhere in LA where u can transfer to bus or subway or something?? Please let me know, im going to LA and need someway to get from the airport to LA around USC and Koreatown, in that area. Thanks!


The best way to get directly from LAX to Downtown LA-Union Station is on the Flyaway shuttle, although its not free. It should be less than $5 for the ride. Once you get to Union Station, you can get to USC area on a bus and Koreatown on the Red Line metro light rail. You can get an all day pass ($5) that you can use on any metro bus or light rail, as well as the subway.

well from lax there is a "Free shuttle that will take to the metro green line (where you can take the Green Line/Blue line into downtown LA (board the lax "G" shuttle for the Green line

there also a free shuttle to the city bus center

(take the LOTC bus for that)

then from the City bus center Line 42 goes near USC

(the flyaway is a good idea expect it only goes to Union station

it doesnt stop anywhere else)

The LAX free shuttles will take you to the bus depot and to the metrorail (subway) and then you have to pay. But its only $5.00 for an all day pass. When you arrive you will be on the lower level and close to the baggage claim area in ALL terminals you will see a Travelers Aid booth. See them and they will give you information on how to get where you want to go. There is also a bus called the Flyaway and goes to several places close to where you might like to go. And its $4.00. Catch this bus under the Green sign and the other "free" shuttles under the Blue sign

The Flyaway is only $4, which will take you to Union station. It's on the lower level. Just look for the green signs.

No such thing as free....

however some hotels have complimentary shuttle... but nothing to DT LA..... That's a 1 hour drive on a good day.... just pay $20 bucks for the airport shuttle to dt....
