Transportation

Out of town participants and visitors should book flights into Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). UCLA is approximately 12 miles from (LAX).

There is regular Bus Service between LAX and Westwood. The best service is via the Big Blue Bus (Santa Monica). The bus will take about 1 hour to get to Westwood (which is longer than a taxi or shuttle because it routes through Santa Monica). To take the bus, you need to take the LAX Airport Shuttle bus to the Transit Center, and there catch the Number 4 Big Blue Bus. You can also catch the Culver city bus number 6. Exit at the Ackerman terminal, UCLA.

FlyAway Service: Los Angeles World Airports in cooperation with UCLA Transportation provides daily nonstop bus service — one-way and roundtrip — between Westwood and LAX. Buses depart every 30 minutes on the hour and half-hour from Westwood, next to UCLA Parking Structure 32 (Kinross Ave just west of Gayley Ave) and LAX (both directions simultaneously) between 5 a.m. - 1 a.m., seven days a week. Cost is $4 each way (Cash Only, Exact Change)

Shuttle Services operate continuously and can take you to Westwood for approximately $25. To catch one of these, go to the outer lanes and talk to one of the shuttle dispatchers. They will usually be able to put you on a shuttle within 15-20 minutes. Super Shuttle and Prime Time Shuttle are some of the larger companies.

Taxis (e.g. Yellow Cab) can be picked up at curbside (inside lanes), right outside baggage claim. The cost to go to Westwood will be about $35, including a $2.50 airport tax.
