Flights / Airports, Los Angeles

You can fly into the international airport (most people get to know it as LAX) from many places round the world, quite often non-stop as it's a major hub. It's quite pleasant inside, but I made the mistake of trying to sort out a place to stay after I'd got there, and between extremely unfriendly security guards and a major lack of phones where I was, it started to get quite tricky, but at least it worked out in the end. LA is definitely a place you should sort out your arrangements in advance. For more information on the airport, click on this link to the LAX website. You should strongly consider renting a car. However, it does look like public transport in LA is slowly improving. There's lots more info at the LA County Metro Transport Authority website. Do check that public transport goes exactly where you want to go - there are places in LA they make it physically impossible to walk to!

I flew in LAX via United Airlines, only airline I have used, and had no trouble with the Airline or the Airport Staff in general. With the States, they drive on the wrong side of the road to me, from New Zealand, so I would prefer to let someone else do the driving. Their road signs are also different in so many ways.

seated on my right was this
Audiokarate bassist

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! ;-)

I flew into LA with Laker and out to Tahiti with UTA and flew Back to LA with them. I eventually flew back to the UK with PAM. LA has one of the largest International Airports in the world. Not by foot as I quickly learned. I realised really quickly you cant get around unless you use a bus or hire a car, As I didnt have my driving Licence I got to use the bus :-)

Easiest way if you're flying to LA, is to fly into either LAX or Burbank. There are other airports such as Long Beach and Ontario but they're either further out or have less flights. LAX isn't very crowded these days due to 9/11 and as of 15-Dec-01, you can stop at the curb to pick-up or drop-off passengers. But you can not leave you are un-attended. The fine is a minimum of $86. See the warning sign!!
