Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

International arrivals clear US Customs and Border Protection, then baggage, then customs.

• ESTA (Visa Waiver Program) or a visa must be arranged before departure.
• Ride-hailing and taxi pickups use designated areas rather than the terminal kerb — follow the signage.
• Terminal-to-terminal walking is possible for some terminals; free shuttle buses cover the rest.

• 기차

  Metro rail connection

  An automated people mover and metro connections link LAX with the regional rail network; check current service status before relying on it.

• 버스

  FlyAway and shuttles

  Nonstop bus services connect LAX with Union Station and other points; shared shuttles serve hotels.

• 택시

  Taxis

  Traffic dominates journey times far more than distance.

• 차량 호출

  Ride-hailing

  Uber and Lyft pick up from a designated ride-share area reached by shuttle — allow extra time.
