$4 rides to LAX
*** UPDATE - The Flyaway is now $6 from Union Station to LAX. Still, it’s a great deal and very comfortable! ***
With some upcoming summer travel and crazy high gas prices , I was vexed with how I would get to LAX without going bankrupt. Then a friend told me about the $4 LAX Flyaway bus. What a deal! It picks up and drops off at three locations: Union Station, Van Nuys, and UCLA. Here are the deets:
Now I don’t have to feel guilty asking someone to take me all the way to LAX.
And now that Megabus is dead, at least I have a new bus service to champion. RIP Megabus.
*** UPDATE *** I rode this the other day. It’s great! Clean, very comfortable seats, air conditioned. I caught the 4 pm bus (it runs on the hour and half hour, and then in the wee hours, it runs on the hour - check site for hours for your location) and it only took 40 minutes to get to LAX from Union Station. It drops you off right at your terminal. This was so much better than driving myself, paying for long term parking, catching a shuttle, lugging stuff… The bus was relatively full too, so I guess many people take advantage of this service. The bus was much more comfortable than a Megabus. Also, the bus terminal behind Union Station is very pretty. I think I will ask all my friends to drop me off at the Flyaway from now on. The bus driver navigates LAX better than a little car would. All this for only $4!
***UPDATE 2*** I took this on the way back, LAX to Union Station. You do not have to have a ticket beforehand. You can buy it at Union Station when you get off there. I thought I would need a ticket to get my luggage from the bus driver, but he didn’t even ask for it. I caught the around 10 pm Flyaway and got to Union Station a little before 10:30. The Van Nuys and Union Station Flyaways seemed the most crowded and with large buses, whereas the Westwood Flyaway was a smaller shuttle type bus. The Flyaways are operated by Coach USA.
you rock!!!
btw do you have an e-mail I can contact you with?
…not stalking! I swear!
