Frequently asked questions
Does LAX connect directly to LA Metro rail?
Yes — the free Automated People Mover links every terminal to the LAX/Metro Transit Center, where you can board the C and K light-rail lines.
What's the cheapest way from LAX to Downtown LA?
The FlyAway nonstop bus to Union Station is generally the best mix of price and speed, avoiding surface-street traffic lights.
Where do Uber and Lyft pick up at LAX?
All rideshares pick up from the LAX-it lot, reached by a free shuttle from every terminal curb.
Is off-site parking near LAX worth it?
For trips longer than two or three days, off-site lots are usually noticeably cheaper than the airport's own long-term garages and include a shuttle.
