I got the flyaway (LAX to Union Station) from Terminal 1. It stops at each terminal, sometimes multiple stops per terminal and for me this took 30 mins from getting on at T1 to actually leaving LAX. Once we left LAX we had a great run into Union Station. For context, this was Saturday 940am leaving T1 and arrived at Union station about 1040 I asked my hotel shuttle to drop me at the flyaway stop and they just dropped me at T1. Next time I would consider asking to be dropped at the T7 flyaway stop to avoid the 30 mins of stop start, but other reviewers here have said that the bus fills up at the earlier terminals and sometimes misses the later ones. So please probably arguments either way!

A $9.75 one way between LAX and Van Nuys or Union Station, this is a cheaper form of transportation than private rideshare and avoids the stress for your driver of navigating the horror of the LAX traffic loop. Keep in mind though, the pick up times are just an estimate, and the shuttle may NOT stop at every terminal due to being filled up...a packed shuttle just whizzed right by me at terminal 6. After waiting another 20 minutes, I gave up and walked to terminal 1. I was then able to board an empty shuttle. Next time, I will do this right away rather than risk being bypassed by a filled shuttle. You can buy tix thru the app, or just pay w a credit card when you board. The shuttles also offer free wifi, though the security of the network is questionable.

Flyaway Los Angeles is now two companies: the Van Nuys one and the LAX one. The Van Nuys is a 5 star experience, the Union Station is a poor experience. I have ridden the Union Station bus well over 200 times because of my job, sadly because it’s a monopoly some drivers abuse the system. One never helps with luggage even for elderly passengers while others are helpful, another nearly ran me over as I was loading the bus when he had stopped with a bus half empty. 3 passengers including me were putting our luggage against the loading door when he didn’t even come out and left nearly hitting one of us. We ran to the next terminal where he stopped but couldn’t catch up. Next bus arrived one hour later after 16:15. This happened at 15:20 on June 4, 2024. In any company the driver would be suspended or fired. Total wait time in midday thanks to an incompetent and lazy borderline dangerous driver 75 minutes. Meanwhile the Van Nuys operation runs smoothly with excellent drivers, which proves once again it’s all about management. At Union Station management is incompetent and simply ridiculous. The city should intervene as it’s an essential service.

From Baldwin Park metrolink station to the front door of my terminal was 15 dollars! Uber was quoting me over 80 dollars. Granted, you need to plan some extra time to do this. The busses pick up about every 15 minutes. And for the return trip....the bus makes the loop terminal by terminal starting with terminal 1 and ending at terminal 7 before returning to LA union station. By the time it gets to terminal 7 the bus could be full. You could walk to terminal 5 or 6 if you are very worried about not getting the next bus.
