    Airport to Pasadena:

      Public Transportation:

    '; writePage +='
  • Recently, Los Angeles '; writePage +='Airport and Metro introduced the Fly Away bus service. Now you can '; writePage +='get from the Airport to Pasadena in about an hour (max hour and a '; writePage +='half)! Not only is the system punctual, efficient, safe and even '; writePage +='luxurious, but it is also relatively inexpensive. We recommend this '; writePage +='route if you are arriving at a reasonable hour and don\'t have heavy '; writePage +='bags.

    • '; writePage +='
  • At the airport go to the Green sign which says "Fly Away Bus". Catch '; writePage +='the bus to UNION Station. It runs every on every half hour between '; writePage +='5:00 am to 1:00 am, and hourly from 1 am to 5am. You pay when you get '; writePage +='to Union station. ($3.00)

    • '; writePage +='
  • At Union Station - go to the Gold line station (Runs from 3:45 am '; writePage +='to 11:52 pm) and catch the Metro to Del Mar station. ($1.50)

    • '; writePage +='
  • From here you can walk the 0.7 miles to the Hilton, or take the '; writePage +='#10 ARTS bus which runs 6am - 8pm weekdays, 11am - 8pm Saturdays, and '; writePage +='11am - 5pm on Sundays). (Fare: $0.50) '; writePage +='

      Shared Ride Vans:

    '; writePage +='
  • There are basically two companies that operate between LAX and '; writePage +='Pasadena. This ride will take you anywhere between 45 minutes (if you '; writePage +='are lucky and get on a full shuttle that is leaving the airport) and '; writePage +='up to 1.5 to 2 hrs if you are really unlucky. You don\'t need to make '; writePage +='reservations ahead of time but you can. More info at these sites:

    '; writePage +='
  • Super Shuttle - Blue Vans ($19.00 to Pasadena Hilton)
    • '; writePage +='
  • Prime Time Shuttle - Red Vans ($16.00 to Pasadena Hilton)
