LAX | Flight info |
Situated on the Pacific coast, 18 miles southwest of Downtown Los Angeles, LAX is the busiest airport in California and the third busiest in the United States. It serves as a hub for American, Delta, United, and Alaska Airlines. The nine terminals at LAX are arranged in a horseshoe configuration, notorious for traffic congestion. Besides private vehicles, the roadway serving the terminals is crowded with shuttle buses for off-site parking lots, individual rental car companies, and hotels. App-hail vehicles and most taxis do not pick up passengers in the horseshoe but instead at the LAX-it lot near Terminal 1. However, these vehicles can drop off passengers at the terminals.
In preparation for the 2028 Olympics, the airport is constructing an automated people mover that will connect with the Metro Rail K and C lines, as well as a consolidated Rent-a-Car facility.
