Flights & Hotels
Flight
Los Angeles International (LAX) Airport
A 35-min ride from LAX to Santa Monica. This airport will likely be less expensive, but a lot busier during arrival and departure. Note: If you plan to use Uber/Lyft after arriving at LAX, please be aware of the new shuttle system. You will line up outside your terminal to take a shuttle bus to a rideshare pickup parking lot. At the lot, you will choose your preferred rideshare brand, get in their line, and request your ride through your preferred rideshare app while you wait in line. You will be given a code to show to your driver when you reach the front of the line. There are many attendants to help you along the way.
Flight
Burbank (BUR) Airport
A 45-min ride from Burbank to Santa Monica. This airport will likely be more expensive, but it is a much more convenient arrival and departure situation. We've checked—there are direct flights to/from Boston, Charlotte, New York City, San Francisco, and Seattle.
