Currently, service is offered between LAX and a bus terminal near Van Nuys Airport or Los Angeles Union Station.
[3] Metrolink monthly pass holders can ride the Union Station route for free with a same-day plane ticket.
[3][4] This route travels between LAX and the FlyAway terminal building and parking structure located next to the LAWA-owned Van Nuys Airport.
The Metro 169 bus eastbound on Saticoy to the Van Nuys Station allows passengers to make rail connections to Amtrak and Metrolink, ultimately terminating at Hollywood Burbank Airport.
By 2008, Los Angeles World Airports reported the annual passenger count from its flagship location in the San Fernando Valley rose to nearly 988,000.
Fares and parking fees charged to customers generate enough revenue that LAWA predicted to have a net operating profit of approximately $168,000 in 2013.
[3][9] This route travels between LAX and the Patsaouras Transit Plaza on the east side of Union Station in downtown Los Angeles.
There is, however, a parking garage available for those who wish to drive to Union Station on the Vignes Street side, though the rates are higher than at Van Nuys.
[10] The LAX FlyAway began offering service at Union Station on March 15, 2006, and has been hailed as a success by city officials since its inception.
During its first year of operation, the FlyAway at Union Station transported 250,000 passengers, more than three times the number predicted at the onset of service.
LAX FlyAway passengers had access to free long-term overnight parking (500 spaces) near the Irvine Transportation Center.
[19] The stop allowed San Fernando Valley residents to reach LAX without having to drive to the airport or to the existing Van Nuys terminal building.
Buses stopped at a dedicated bus bay on the south side of Victory Boulevard just east of Woodley Avenue.
[citation needed] Due to low ridership, the Orange Line FlyAway stop was discontinued on January 31, 2019.
[3] Drivers dropping off or picking up FlyAway passengers could enter and exit UCLA's Parking Structure 32 without paying a fee.
Limited parking was also available (25 stalls in the structure are marked for the use of FlyAway passengers) for $12 per weekday, $8 per weekend day and $63 for any 7-day period.
[citation needed] The Westwood route converted to smaller clean-fueled, compressed natural gas (CNG) buses in fall 2008.
[citation needed] During its first year of operation the FlyAway at Westwood transported 105,300 passengers, nearly 10 percent more than the number predicted at the onset of service.
