Pro Tips

• Pre-schedule rideshare for early flights (4-6 AM) — driver scarcity.
• FlyAway runs even when freeways gridlock — dedicated shoulder lanes.
• Hotel concierge can arrange sedan/SUV ($80-120) — fixed price, meet-and-greet.
• Check LAX official website for terminal-specific FlyAway pickup locations (varies by terminal).

For predictable timing: FlyAway. For door-to-door convenience: rideshare (avoid peaks). For budget: FlyAway + walk.
