TRAFFIC TIPS & SHORTCUTS

GETTING AROUND LAX

Terminal 1 on the Upper/Departures Level is getting a major facelift! But construction is right at the airport entrance and can cause traffic back-ups leading into LAX.

Steer Clear!: Part of Terminal 1’s Upper/Departures Level passenger drop-off lane is closed for construction, so avoid the curbside lane unless dropping off at Terminal 1 (Southwest).

Keep Movin’: If dropping off passengers at Terminal 1, drive to the farthest end of the drop-off lane (just before the construction barrier) where it’s often less crowded.

Flip Your Thinking: During busy departure times (daily 5-9 a.m.), drop off passengers on the Lower/Arrivals Level. They can take an escalator or elevator up to departures. Do the opposite for busy arrival times (Sun. nights are busiest).

Time Your Travel: Typically, the slowest times at LAX are between 9-11 a.m. and 2-7 p.m. When possible, book flights or plan arrivals during slow times. Or come a little early to dine and shop. A valid boarding pass gets you into any terminal! Tues. and Wed. are the lightest travel days at LAX.

See You in Lot C: Consider parking in or dropping off passengers at Lot C on West 96th St. and Sepulveda Blvd. The free LAX Shuttle “C” goes frequently to LAX and stops at every terminal.

Call Me Anytime: Picking up a passenger? You can wait up to two hours for free in the LAX Cell Phone Waiting Lot next to Lot C. Wait there for your passengers to call for pick up, or have them take LAX Shuttle “C” to you!

LAX Traffic Officers are stationed throughout the airport to keep traffic flowing. Follow their instructions for the best ways to get in and around LAX.

YOU DON’T NEED TO BE A VIP FOR FIRST CLASS TIPS… While we’re building a better airport, consider these tips on how to best get in, out and around LAX more efficiently.

TRAVELING TO LAX

GETTING OUT OF LAX

Skip the full airport loop! Try these shortcuts to exit LAX.*

East Way Shortcut: If dropping off passengers at Terminals 6 or 7, as you enter the airport, stay in the far left lane and make a left turn across from Terminal 1 where signs point to United/United Express Terminal 7. On the Lower/Arrivals Level, the shortcut leads directly to Terminals 5, 6 & 7. On the Upper/Departures Level, the shortcut leads to Terminals 6 & 7. Both let you exit the airport.

West Way Shortcut: On the Upper/Departures Level, make a left turn just past Terminal 2 at signs directing you to P2, P5 and P6/Airport Exit. The shortcut leads to Terminal 5. Turn left to exit the airport. Or, make a left turn past Terminal 2 and then a fast right at the sign, “To Arrivals,” which puts you across from the Tom Bradley International Terminal on the Lower/Arrivals Level. Go left to reach Terminals 4, 5, 6 & 7, or exit the airport.

Center Way Shortcut: Dropping folks off at Terminals 1, 2 or 3 on Lower/Arrivals Level? Stay left and look for Center Way across from the Tom Bradley International Terminal. At the blue sign for “Upper Level, Ticketing,” go up the ramp, make a right and then a left to exit the airport.

*Temporary and short-term construction closures

can sometimes impact these shortcuts.

Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles and near the El Monte Busway)

Go Green!: Take the METRO Green Line to the Aviation/LAX Station. Then hop on the free LAX Shuttle “G” to LAX. Shuttle “G” can also take you back to the METRO Aviation/LAX Station on your return.

Don’t Forget About Hotel Shuttles: If you’re staying at an airport-area hotel, hotel shuttles are the best way to get to and from LAX quickly and efficiently.
