You can fly, drive, bike, or boat into LA. There are other methods, sure, but the best way to get to LA is by plane. Driving across the desert from Arizona or Nevada will be an adventure, but bring lots of water. You really must have a car. I got a good deal from Alamo when I first visited LA in 1998, but you should shop around for special rates before arriving. If you're adventurous, you can travel by bus and subway, but you've got to be a good planner and have lots of free time and patience. You must also get along well in crowded situations. Buses run until 1 or 2am and start again by 5am. The drivers went on strike last year, so hopefully that won't happen again for a while. The best bet is to stick with an automobile, if you've got the budget, so that you have the freedom to drive all around the city or drive to the mountains and beaches.

 | |  |  | Flights / Airports: the consequence of not getting the window seat ;-) | Tip Rating:      |  |  | |  |
Believe me, at LAX I asked for the window seat coz I said 'I'd have no one to talk to'. But the JAL guy at LAX said the flight to Japan was full, so he could only fulfil my wish for the next flight from Japan to Singapore. I walked up the plane thinking this was gonna be bo-O-o-ring. Turns out, on my right was this dashing American-Hispanic punk rocker from Audiokarate who was heading for Tokyo to play at the esteemed Warped Tour Japan with The Vandals, Useless I.D., Thursday, Poison the Well, and Slick Shoes. Wowwow ~ so there were many such tough musicians on the plane! ;-) And on my left, the guy who got the window seat, was a dice dealer from Las Vegas! Yes, the three of us did exchange contacts ;-) Moral of the story: you just might chance a celebrity on the plane from LAX! ;-) Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane
