Los Angeles Airport (LAX) Information

(Anaheim, California - CA, USA)



Los Angeles is home to a major international airport, which is conveniently close to Beverly Hills, Lawndale, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica and Torrance. Los Angeles International Airport is one of California's premier air facilities and the various ground transport options provide efficient methods of transportation to and from nearby Anaheim.

This airport is one of California's oldest and most important, and began its life way back in the late 1920s, when the City Council obtained a large chunk of agricultural land. Soon after it became an official municipal airfield, with the following years seeing the building of new runways and terminals. Today, this facility frequently ranks just outside of America's busiest top five, boasting more than 600,000 flights each year and over one million passengers every single week.

Buses

Los Angeles Airport is home to numerous regular bus and shuttle services. The LAX FlyAway is a convenient direct round-trip service, collecting and dropping-off passengers at Irvine Station, Union Station, Van Nuys and Westwood. Scheduled buses are also to hand, being operated by firms such as Airport Bus of Bakersfield, Grayline Coach USA and Santa Barbara Airbus. Those headed into Anaheim may like to use Shuttle One, with buses running to Garden Grove, Knott's Berry Farm and the famous Disneyland theme park - journey times are in the region of one hour.

Taxis

Taxi ranks are located outside of each terminal, being clearly indicated by yellow 'Taxi' signs. Offering a convenient way to reach Los Angeles city center, cabs will also travel into Anaheim, although this can prove expensive. Each taxi should contain a ticket listing typical fares to the most popular destinations. Of note, only authorized vehicles should be used and these always display an official seal from the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation.

Limousines

Limousines are available and offer a particularly luxurious way to reach your chosen destination. Limos are often not as expensive as you might think, and so it makes sense to check the current rates before deciding whether or not to use this service.
