Getting to a busy airport like LAX is stressful enough. Better to leave the stress to someone else! The LAX Flyaway is a convenient option for the Van Nuys area. Dropoff is super easy, and for those leaving a vehicle on site, parking is $6 per day, much cheaper than at the airport. Service runs 24/7 with pickups every 20 to 30 minutes during most of the day. Onboard, you get air conditioning, music, and even free WiFi. I also saw power outlets but they weren't working. Tickets are now contactless. There's a reader at the front of the bus and you either tap a credit card or scan a QR code from the app if purchasing in advance. Our trip to the airport was pleasant. The trip back was less so since that bus was more rickety and the driver didn't drive smoothly in stop-and-go traffic. Still, this is a convenient option overall, and cheaper than Uber! read more

I never actually got to use their service. I used their app to get directions, followed them and it took me to the wrong place. When I manually got directions, I was 44 min. from them. I ended up having to use and pay a lot more for other parking. Partially due to this I ended up missing my flight. By the time I got all my flight issues cleared up and reached my destination it was the next day. I tried to get my money back and was told because it was the next day I could not. Yes I should have double checked the address, it was my fault for assuming their app would give me the correct directions to their location instead of directing me 44 minutes away. Dont be like me, make sure you double check the address and not rely on their app for directions. read more

Very convenient way to get to the airport and very inexpensive. When we were saying goodbye to our family, the bus looked like it was ready to board and apparently we were saying goodbye for too long because they filled up the bus and we couldn't get on and had to wait another 20 minutes for the next one. The woman at the door also said we could board the bus . . . The bus apparently had arrived early and the time sheet wasn't completely up to date. So lesson learned here, don't say goodbye to your family . . . read more

It was easy to find bus at LAX. The driver was great! The traffic on the 405 was bumper to bumper. When I gave the driver $3 tip, he was so appreciative. He acted like I gave him $10. The price for ride was only $12.50. I was a little nervous, because u can't have a gun in LA, but the bus was packed with a lot of nice people, just going home from work. read more

The parking and transport to the airport are reasonably priced. On my last trip on June 18 there were bus problems. Those of us who needed transportation back to Van Nuys were told by staff to get our own transportation and given a reimbursement form to turn in by email. I submitted the form over two weeks ago and haven't been able to get an update on the reimbursement. It was inconvenient and expensive and I don't know if I am wasting my time messing around with their reimbursement process. Not sure I will use again. read more

Worst bus experience of my life. I stood outside the bus at 10:59. The bus driver made eye contact with me, waved me off, and drove away. In the moment I was livid and in hindsight it was honestly comical how bad of an experience this was the dude was clearly just having a bad day and wanted to take it out on someone. I tried contacting the company multiple ways and never heard back. I just wanted them to know the bus driver of the route intentionally neglected a customer but nope never even heard back from the company. Please only use this service if you are extremely desperate and have no other options. read more

Great option to get to LAX. Not having to deal with the traffic and the bus drops you off at your terminal. read more

Those of us who are tired of 24/7 traffic jam on 405 freeway to and fro LAX, this shuttle service is for you. From or to Van Nuys station, one may relax for about 30 minutes on this bus. I noticed that no free WiFi is available on the bus. Buses run every 15 minutes during rush hour and every half hour thereafter. The bus fares may be paid as you enter via credit card scanner. The terminal is right next to a public paid multistory parking garage. So, for a short trip, it may be wise to use the garage as well. Driver of the bus is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. So, relax and enjoy your journey to and from LAX. read more

9/4/2025 - The LAX FlyAway bus was leaving at 7:22 AM in Van Nuys and arrived at the terminal 1 at 8:38 AM, but arrived at the terminal 4 and 6 at 8:44 AM and 8:52 AM, respectively. Thanks for the Globe Entrance privileges, I got the TSA PRECHK at the counter right away, and proceed to the TSA check in, luckily, I have no luggage to be checked in. Arrived at the gate 15 minutes before the scheduled boarding will begin - I must abandon my planned airport lounge access this time! Lesson learned: Give at least 3 hours and 30 minutes to 4 hours ahead of your scheduled flight at the Flyaway Terminal to ensure you will not miss a flight! read more

Traveling is always a part of humanity's quest for connection and recreation. However, most airports are often far and away so having a Flyaway, makes it more convenient and easier for many. I've used this service many times and sometimes I leave my car at their covered parking for a few dollars per day; it's a safe and secure way to up the comfort and convenience of travel and access to LAX. The staff takes care of everything for a mere inexpensive 12.95 one way to LAX. The bus is clean and air-conditioned or heated for that matter and the driver is careful in navigating the busy and congested freeways, and fast too, at the same time. They also unload your luggage with care and attention while they drop you off exactly at the terminal of your airline's gate. One bad experience on an international trip, the driver unloaded my luggage at the wrong gate. Using my Apple Tag, I notified him to go back and was able to retrieve my luggage at the wrong gate! After retrieving the luggage I was able to board and fly to Finland for my U.S. Fulbright Scholarship a few years back. read more

I have never had a bad ride or delay on the FlyAway, making it the most convenient way to travel from the Santa Clarita or San Fernando Valley to LAX. It is cheap, convenient, and efficient. Sit back, take a nap, and let the driver get to you safely to LAX, and returned to Van Nuys. read more

The Flyaway is one of the easiest way to travel to LAX. There's no getting lost. There is parking or you can get dropped off. Nothing beats a ride to the airport like $12.75 each way. I feel it's somehow faster than driving yourself. You get dropped off right in front of your terminal. They run like every 20-30 min? Not sure. But it's just the easiest way to go to the airport from the valley. read more

I've been using the lax flyaway for years and it is such a godsend for those who live locally in the SFV. They have an alternative location at Union Station and it helps if you don't want to pay the hefty parking fees at LAX. The rates are now $12.75 each way but they have a bus every 20 minutes except between 12-3 AM where it's only 1 per hour (though uber prices are usually not that bad if you need to take that option instead.) I've found that even upon returning from LAX, I've never had to wait an obscenely long time for a bus. Actually, I've been quite fortunate and have never had to wait more than 5 minutes except one time where it actually did take 15 minutes. One thing to keep in mind though is that it does stop at every single terminal which can take about 20 minutes total for those going home. The station is clean with functional bathrooms. There is also a multi level covered parking garage for your convenience. You can also pay for your parking space in advance if you prefer not to do so at the gate. (29/50-2025) read more

I can't believe this has less than 5 stars! Staff is friendly! Buses are like clockwork -always on time! There is even a real time tracker in the app. It is certainly the easiest and cheapest way to get to and from LAX! It's a routine at this point. So easy! read more

I had to purchase the ticket on the bus because we arrived late and did not buy a round-trip ticket. The ride to the airport was smooth and we got there as soon as possible, even though it was rush hour. The driver stopped at terminals where people had flights. He stowed our luggage under the bus and retrieved it at the terminal. All in all, a good experience, read more

11/18/25- buses do not run on schedule, so plan to have more flexibility in your schedule if using this service. The staff at the Van Nuys station seemingly has no accountability or supervision, and have been generally apathetic based on my prior visits. Any questions or concerns are directed to an 800 number, who in turn tells you to email someone else. Other than schedule and service issues, the buses are modern but not very clean and there appears to be no cleaning done between shuttle runs leading to food and greasy hand prints on seats and common touch surfaces. Generally it seems there is little pride or sense of ownership shown by many of the staff members, unfortunately. read more

Love the speedy service....hate the attitude on the employees. Sometimes you will get a friendly person but 85% of them are grumpy assholes. Especially the guys loading your bags under the bus. If you hate your job....quit. Other then that, the buses are nice and they get you to LAX quickly. read more

Good luck! You may as well start walking to the ride share lot and forget about your prepaid flyaway ticket. Their time chart means nothing. You'll wait over thirty minutes to watch a Van Nuys bus just drive by you without even stopping. Small broken old seats if you ever do get your bus. Sure it's cheap. But you're gonna think about that twelve dollars the entire time you're waiting and riding and considering how you could have arrived to Van Nuys before your bus ever even showed up at the terminal. Oh and you can ignore their having wifi if you're hoping you'll get work done. I've rode them about ten times and not once was wifi reliable enough to do any work. Maybe you can surf social media or something. But any website that requires security will drop your connection multiple times in that hour to and from LAX. read more

The LAX FlyAway is generally awesome and I am glad it is an option for those who need to get to the San Fernando Valley or surrounding areas. You get dropped off and picked up right at the terminal curb so it's actually more convenient than Uber (and cheaper too). The bus is able to use express lanes too so it should be just as fast if not faster than driving aside from having to stop at previous terminals for drop off (so if you aren't in the first few, budget time for this although they do ask in advance and only stop at ones that are needed so that is good and saves time). My experience going from Van Nuys to LAX has been great. Bus is usually early so you can get on, there is a waiting area if needed, no issues. It seems to sometimes leave slightly early though so maybe get there 10 minutes or something before your departure time if you need to leave at a specific time. Also I would suggest buying tickets in the app more convenient and you can do so in advance. Going from LAX to Van Nuys is mixed. On a recent trip, I had to wait over an hour until a bus came Instead of them coming every 20 minutes (1 bus that had empty seats even passed us and we didn't know why). Apparently this happens during busy times especially if you are some of the later terminals. My suggestion would be to walk to an earlier terminal if you are able to (there are shortcuts from 7 to 1 and 6 to 2 and so on I believe) or just be ok with waiting and not depend on the supposed bus times. I've also taken the bus at times when it did show up as expected (less busy times I believe) so I think it just depends. The other thing I would say is depending on where you are going, the Uber fares from Van Nuys bus terminal to final destination were almost the same as from LAX to final destination when I checked despite the time of travel being more than twice as much from LAX. No idea why that is the case but I would just double check that the Flyaway will actually be the best option for you given that and the ticket cost of ~$13. Or you can park at the Flyaway lot which used to be a huge bargain but is still not terrible at ~$6 a day and quite convenient. read more

The Flyaway bus from Van Nuys to LAX is one of the greatest gifts we have from the San Fernando Valley. Their timings the schedule, the professionalism of the drivers is exemplary. There's always the standard ride and they do it pretty fast. You're not on the bus more than 30 to 40 minutes, really even during rush times, maybe stretch by another 10 minutes. But the way you judge a business is if they can handle high pressure and adversity. I experienced this scenario on my last trip. So everything was smooth because it was a Sunday night but when we got close to the airport and were on the last stretch, on Sepulveda, it was massive gridlock. Think about it, like a parking lot. Just alternating red lights and green traffic lights but nothing was moving. Just a stand still. The driver displayed an amazing ability to handle the frustration of people cutting off the bus not obeying traffic laws. We finally got to LAX, but after over two hours, it's never been that long. A lot of people on the bus missed their flights. On the road, you could see people getting out of their cars ....I mean and walking running with bags to catch their flights. I haven't seen so much chaos in a very long time. Once again, compliments to Flyaway bus. As for me, I survived the ordeal. I always like to go to the airport way ahead of time and it really paid off this time. So my strategy works and this time, it did in triumphant fashion. read more

The flyaway is a great idea that can be convenient and relieve stress. However it can be unpredictable and timely. One time, around the holidays it was madness. The lines were out the door. We left and went to the airport and still missed our flight. I never travel around the holidays so I suppose I was unprepared for that. But it is usually easy. It does add a little extra time to your trip but if you plan accordingly it'll make your travel experience less stressful. Also knowing your car is in the parking structure for reasonable prices compared to near the airport is comforting. read more

Hello, I want to leave a great review for one of fly away driver. I was on 5:10 flyaway bus #9808, from LAX - Union station. He was so reliable and his driving was so safe. He was friendly and sincere too. He even had a Halloween basket full of Halloween candies goodie bags for all the passenger who got on board! He surely made my day ! Thank you, keep up the good work !! Best driver ever. read more

Wow what a very convenient way to head back to the Valley area from LAX. I may have to keep this method for future use. It was very easy to get into the bus and settle in thanks to our driver. This was recommended by a friend of mine and sadly it used to be $10, but it has increased to $12.75 as of early July 2025. The bus ride was smooth and quick-- taking the carpool lane in the freeway and zooming easily since we were going through the empty July 4th traffic of LA. I am quite curious to see how the experience would be on busier days. I recommend using the Transit app (used for general Metro and bus routes too) to find the bus location because it left 6 minutes earlier than the scheduled time on the LAX terminal pillars. After leaving the terminals, we went straight to Van Nuys and the interior was comfortable enough. The seats were padded well, the air circulation was alright, and the windows were large. We exited easily and the place has parking pay machines so you could leave your car here during your trip. We opted for Uber and there was a super quick pickup so I'm happy there's several drivers that await here because we got home so comfortably that night. Super convenient service and totally worth the price!! read more

The concept of taking a shuttle to the airport is a lifesaver. Also an uber but this was cheaper...lol... It's so easy from here. They have a parking structure as well as a lot for overnight parking or as long as you need it. The price is way more affordable compared to the lots near the airport. It's open 24 hours and the shuttle runs on a schedule. We've taken it the last few times super early. Which was still pretty packed even for 4:30 in the morning. Bus runs every half hour that early. Maybe faster during the day. Tickets are purchased on the apps, about 10.00 one way per person. When it's boarding time, it's single file to make it easier and more manageable instead of everyone rushing in at the same time. They take your bag for you to store on the bus and arrange it by what airline and terminal you are leaving. Then you get on the bus. Two seats per row and seats recline. Tip your driver as it common decency as they are taking you to your destination. read more

Man, I wish I remembered names. I'm currently sitting at LAX waiting to fly to Cancun for a much needed vacation with my wife and daughter. Is needed more than I can explain. Anyways, we left Van Nuys on the 6:40pm bus (9916) to LAX. When we got off at the United terminal, I forgot a bag on the bus. Panic set in. We made some phone calls, and after about 45 minutes, the driver returned with our bag. I feared we might be delayed HOURS. He was so pleasant, and we were SO grateful. Give him a raise! Also, there was another driver at the bus layover who was wearing a Mexico pin who made a call too. Travel can be a pain, and when you're dealing with anxiety and burnout to begin with, any slip up is magnified 1000x. Thank you Van Nuys Flyway team for saving the day! read more

I have taken the flyaway several times with no problems, you just have to time yourself to what time you want to arrive to LAX, then get to the flyaway to get in line. This past week I took the flyaway with a friend so we could head to LAX not to fly, but to go to a conference in a nearby hotel. I didn't know they had removed the ticket purchase machines and now you can just tap your credit card or your phone to get on the bus. This makes it way easier in my opinion taking away the hassle of worrying about buying a ticket. There was no stress, we arrived to the flyaway, parked the car (which later we found out is also a great deal only $6 for the day for parking) at one of the higher levels because the lower levels are packed with cars, and then headed over to the bus line. Once on the bus we just relaxed and didn't have to be stressed about traffic. We got off the bus when we arrived and were able to head down to the shuttles to take us to the conference. Then on the way home, super easy to get back onto the flyaway and go home. Soooo convenient and the fact that it runs in 20 minute intervals makes it all that much better! The buses are clean, and they also have seatbelts if you would like to wear one (which I do). read more

After landing at LAX on Delta, the FlyAway was conveniently waiting just outside the Delta terminal no long walks, no stress. We grabbed our bags from claim, and within two minutes, the bus pulled up. Talk about timing. The driver? Total legend. Friendly, a little sassy (in the best way), and super helpful she personally loaded our bags beneath the bus like a pro. Mid-ride, we paused to assist another FlyAway bus that had broken down, and initially I thought, "Here goes our schedule..." But watching those two drivers shift passengers and luggage from one bus to another was like witnessing an F1 pit crew in action fast, precise, and unexpectedly impressive. The ride up the 405 to Van Nuys was smooth and uneventful, but in the best way we arrived faster than I expected. Normally we'd take a private SUV, but compared to the chaos of rideshare pickups, this was surprisingly refreshing. No shuttle to remote lots, no confusion--just a direct, cost-effective, and quick experience. FlyAway nailed it. I'll definitely be considering this option again. read more

I really appreciate the LAX FlyAway bus service. For 2 years, I used to take Ubers from Porter Ranch to LAX, which cost me $200 round trip every time. Switching to the train from Union Station and then using this bus has saved me a tremendous amount of money. I only discovered this service about six months ago, and honestly, I wish I had known about it two years ago--I was constantly flying in and out of LA and could have saved so much. The buses are always packed to capacity, which just shows how reliable and well-used this service is. Even so, the buses consistently arrive on time. The drivers are excellent--professional, courteous, and always willing to help lift heavy luggage, which makes a huge difference for travelers. One thing I genuinely believe is that there should be some type of tip option or tip jar available. These drivers work hard, handle heavy bags, and provide great service--they absolutely deserve to be tipped. Overall, this service has been a game-changer for me. Reliable, affordable, and efficient. Highly recommended for anyone traveling to and from LAX. read more

Absolutely LOVE the FlyAway for both getting to and coming back from LAX!! Such a convenient, efficient, reliable, friendly, and affordable service! I have taken it about 5-7 times now and never get disappointed. It comes every twenty minutes and is straight to the point. Drops you off exactly where you need. Saves you tons of money. Also love that you can pay/swipe directly on the bus with your credit card now so no pre-purchase is necessary anymore. read more

I miss the Hollywood location for Flyaway that they got rid of back in 2020. Although I only used it once, it was extremely convenient at the time since I was only a few blocks away off of Selma, and it was a much smaller shuttle than the one I would be taking. During 2020, I think they shut a lot of their locations down, but the downtown and Van Nuys still stands. Wasn't too keen about driving out this way for the airport transportation but after checking out prices for Parking Spot and other closer options, Flyaway did seem to be the better option cost-wise. I needed five days, so at $6/per day in a covered garage (no additional cost for covered here) with the round-trip actual Flyaway bus being $19 ($9.50 per trip), this came to a shade under $50. One thing I was concerned about was my return flight; the airline is notorious for being late-and this was my first time flying them-so my arrival at LAX being at 11:10p had me somewhat concerned. Just to be safe, I checked out the facility the day before, seeing how things went, and it was simple to figure everything out. I had a nice guy help me out too, which certainly made things easier. Considering I had to be there around 3:30a, I knew I wasn't going to be operating at 100%, so I'm glad I made this preliminary visit. Parking was saved in my wallet, and I barely brought it up to my open window and it let me through. Although there were a lot of cars, there were plenty of spots to be found, so I had a very short walk into the station. People were already in there, some of them lining up. Bus was on time, we were asked what terminal, and our bags were tagged accordingly underneath. You then scan your ticket (off of the Flyaway app) before boarding. I'm pretty sure you can print this out too if you'd rather have a paper copy. Ride was smooth and we made it with plenty of time to spare. They drop you right off at your terminal, and you go right in. They made it so easy! Upon returning, the bus was about 10 minutes late, so I was getting a little worried the parking would have to be extended another day, but we made it. The sole issue I had was leaving the garage; the reader didn't get my exit ticket from my wallet and I had to call for help. Grateful someone was there, I was informed that I had chosen the wrong parking (?) but then they asked me to read off my reservation # which alleviated all issues. That was the only glitch I had but it was resolved quickly, and I wasn't holding anyone up. Patience is key! If you don't want to park and are lucky to have someone drop off/pick up, you can certainly still use Flyaway since there is an outdoor parking waiting area for those who do so. This is also free. Even though it 's far for some, I would definitely recommend Flyaway Van Nuys to anyone who wants a reasonable trip to LAX. read more

Great experience every time. The drivers are great. Drive is fast and my favorite things are that they pickup straight from the terminal instead of having to go to pickup area for uber. They also have a $5 day parking if you're taking their shuttle to lax. Grateful for the service. read more

The flyaway has gotten so incredibly bad. Their buses can be so off schedule (by an hour or more). I just experienced that where I had to take an Uber instead. Then I had to wait for over an hour at the airport where 2 buses passed us without picking up any additional passengers from the terminal we were at. I suggest if you fly into terminal 7 to just walk to terminal 1 if you want to take the Flyaway. But really the whole thing is so bad if you have an alternative I would suggest taking it. I've heard of bus drivers intentionally not loading their bus all the way which puts people out and is really not proper. I hope they can get their act together! read more

As a valley native, this is where I'll park or get dropped off for any LAX flights. Tickets can be purchased on the app or on the bus. Busses are usually on time with plenty of seating. Using the FlyAway is so much more efficient than braving the 405 to LAX. read more

Very long delay tonight in picking up at LAX. Was waiting for one hour and 15 minutes for bus to arrive.

It was more than what I expected it to be. It took less time and hassle of me driving to LAX and parking myself.

LAX pickup is totally unreliable. I've been waiting for 40 mins and no bus. The schedule says every 15-20 mins. Yeah right. Probably still better than driving though. read more

Cheapest way to get to and from LAX to the valley. $12.75 one way...and the shuttles are usually on time (maybe a 5-10 mins delayed on occasions). Coming from LAX when you exit head to the blue sign that says fly away. The bus comes about every 15 minutes. Make sure to pay attention to the sign (union station or Van Nuys) so you are going to the correct location. The driver will usually confirm the destination as well. read more
