Flyaway LAX: Drop Off and Pick Up

Passengers should arrive at least 10 minutes before the scheduled departure time. The shuttles do not allow any customers on board within two minutes of departure for safety reasons.

  • Drop Off: Upper/Departures Level of each terminal
  • Pick-Up: Lower/Arrivals Level of each terminal, next to BLUE LAX Flyaway sign.

 

You don’t need a reservation because the Flyaway bus service operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Unfortunately, this means that the Flyaway shuttle will leave the airport once it’s full, skipping any waiting passengers at all other terminals (typically Terminals 4-8, beyond Tom Bradley International Terminal). To avoid this hassle, you should walk or take the LAX shuttle to an earlier terminal.

 

Van Nuys Flyaway

Flyaway Van Nuys bus terminal is located at 7610 Woodley Avenue. Next to the bus terminal, there is covered and uncovered long term parking for $5 per day, with a 30-day limit. Be aware that parking may be limited during peak travel seasons.

The Flyaway shuttle departs Van Nuys 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. Depending on the time of day, the shuttle is scheduled in 15-minute, 30-minute, or 1-hour intervals. Arrival and departure times use Terminal 1 as a reference, so if you need Terminals 2-7 then you will need to allow a little extra time.

The Flyaway shuttle typically takes 40 mins to 1 hour to drive from Van Nuys to LAX. However, travel times will depend on traffic.

 

Flyaway Union Station

The Flyaway Union Station bus stop is located at the Patsaouras Transit Plaza (Bus Stop 1) at Union Station East. Passengers can connect to the Flyaway bus service at the Union Station using the Metro Rail/Bus, Metrolink, or Amtrak. There is a parking garage at Union Station for $8 per day.

The LAX Flyaway bus operates 24/7 from LAX to Union Station. The shuttles are scheduled in 20-minute, 30-minute, and 1-hour increments depending on the day/time. The arrival/departure times are based on Terminal 1, so allow extra time for the shuttle to circle around to Terminals 2-7.

The transit time typically takes between 40 minutes to an hour from Union Station to LAX, but allow plenty of time in case of poor traffic conditions.

 

Flyaway Hollywood (Temporarily Closed)

The address for the Flyaway Hollywood Bus Stop is 1627 N. Vine Street. The stop is nearby the Metro Red Line Hollywood/Vine Station and it is within walking distance of a public parking lot.

The Hollywood Flyaway buses depart once an hour. From the Hollywood Bus Stop, the shuttles run from 5:15 am – 9:15 am. From LAX Terminal 1, the shuttles run from 6:15 am – 10:15 pm. If you are waiting for the bus at Terminals 2-7, then allow extra time for the bus to circle around the Terminal Loop.

Depending on the day and time, traffic conditions can affect the shuttle’s journey time. On average, it takes around 1 hour from Hollywood to LAX.

 

Flyaway Long Beach (Temporarily Closed)

The Flyaway Long Beach Bus Stop is located in the Long Beach Transit Gallery at Shelter A. The address is 107 East First Street. The transit gallery is a major transportation hub, so there are a number of public transportation options that operate through it. There is also a public parking lot located nearby.

The Flyaway Long Beach bus departs once an hour. From the Long Beach Bus Stop, the shuttles run from 5:30 am – 9:30 pm. From LAX Terminal 1, the shuttles run from 5:30 am – 10:30 pm. Allow extra time for pick-ups if you are waiting at Terminals 2-7.

The journey time depends on traffic conditions, but typically the Flyaway bus to LAX takes 1 hour from Long Beach station.
