Although parking options are available, the fees can add up at the on-airport parking lot over the course of weeks.

LAX Airport Hotels

Bundle Packages

One of the best-kept secrets of frequent travelers is the “park and sleep” or “park sleep fly” concept. As parking fees get higher at airports, LAX hotels with parking are beginning to bundle park and fly packages for travelers who stay at their hotel. Often the bundles, which include one night’s stay at the hotel, are cheaper than standalone airport parking. This option is especially useful for business travelers who often catch late-night, early-morning flights and families who want to be well-rested and close to the airport before their flights. Most of the airport hotels offer complimentary shuttles to LAX as well, making the transition just that much easier.

We’ve listed a few of the best bundles we’ve found from ParkSleepFly.com below.

Alternative Transportation

Car services

Taking a taxi is often the last resort for people going to or from the airport because of the high costs often associated with it. Some taxis have a flat rate for popular destinations but there is typically a surcharge added to taxis leaving LAX. Car services such as MGCLS are also popular, but not ideal, option for airport-goers.

An alternative used is through ridesharing apps such as Uber and Lyft, convenient for riders who live closer to LAX. Because of the high demand, it can sometimes be hard to find available Ubers or Lyfts from LAX. To find out how much a rider may potentially cost, riders can visit the respective websites to calculate an Uber estimate to LAX and/or a Lyft estimate to LAX.

When getting dropped off at the Los Angeles International Airport, rideshare cars are allowed to take you to the departure level of your terminal. When getting picked up, you’ll want to go to the sign that says “Ride Service Pickup.” There are 5 pick-up stations at LAX for rideshare users. For Delta and jetBlue fliers, Lyft does partner with both airlines to give customers extra miles when they link their Lyft and frequent flier accounts. It gives riders an extra incentive to take Lyft to LAX.  

Those looking for something a bit more affordable than booking a car service but more reliable than ridesharing apps often opt for shuttle services.

Shuttle services

Booking a shuttle service to LAX is a popular option for budget travellers and those traveling in larger groups. One of the most common shuttle services is the SuperShuttle blue van. You can explore different shuttle options and make airport shuttle reservations on ShuttleFinder.com.

Public transportation

Public transportation to Los Angeles International Airport is fairly easy. There are a few options for getting to LAX airport by bus or train.

FlyAway Bus
The airport FlyAway bus takes travelers from LAX to 5 different neighborhoods. The bus stops at each LAX terminal before going into the city. The stops included are Hollywood, Long Beach, Union Station (where you can connect with other parts of Southern California through the Metrolink), Van Nuys, and Westwood. It typically costs between $8-$10 depending on the specific location details.

Metro
You can take the Metro’s Green Line on the Los Angeles County MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority) to the Aviation/LAX station. Once there, you can take a free airport shuttle, called the G shuttle, to LAX.

Bus 
If you’re riding to or from Culver City, you can take the bus Line 6/Rapid 6 to the airport. The Santa Monica Big Blue Bus also runs to LAX for those getting to/from that area.

Insider tips

Picking Up At LAX
If you’re picking someone up from LAX airport, a great resource to utilize is the Cellphone Waiting Lot. The lot allows for two hours of free parking as long as the car is occupied at all times. It’s a good option for those who arrive at the airport early or if there is an arrival delay. The traffic congestion at the airport can be a headache to go through, and airport patrol only allows for brief stops to drop off and pick up.

Inside LAX

Although spending the night at an airport is never ideal, as a 24/7 airport, you can spend the night at LAX. In fact, there are travelers that are die-hard LAX fans.

LAX airport food is fairly reasonably priced and the options are nearly limitless, especially when it comes to Terminal B.

Tom Bradley International Terminal is also known as Terminal B and where most international airlines can be found. Having recently gone through a billion-dollar renovation, it’s also where most of the good food, beautiful architecture and spacious seating can be found.
