Travel
If flying into Los Angeles, there are three airports to choose from: Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Burbank Airport (BUR), and Long Beach Airport (LGB). Depending on your departure city, various major and discount airlines fly to and from these cities, so it is worth looking into all three for the cheapest flights. For information about airlines that service these airports, ground transportation, etc., visit the airports’ websites.
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is located on the west side of Los Angeles just south of Marina del Rey. If you are staying in the western beach cities, Beverly Hills, or at UCLA. LAX is still probably your best bet. The time you would save getting in and out of another local airport, you would lose sitting on the freeway, so you might as well take advantage of the multitude of flights that come into LAX from all over the world.
Burbank Airport (BUR) is north of the City. It is a much smaller airport so it is faster to get in and out of. It is the most convenient airport to fly into if you’re planning to stay near Universal Studios or Six Flags Magic Mountain. It’s also convenient if you’re staying in Hollywood or downtown.
Estimated prices for one-way van service from Primetime Shuttle:
- LAX to UCLA: $14
- Burbank to UCLA: $26
- Long Beach to UCLA: $37
