Airport Information and Ground Transportation
Two airports are convenient to Pasadena, Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX) and Burbank Airport (BUR). Burbank is about
20 minutes away and is more convenient, but has limited service.
LAX is approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour from Pasadena.
When
you arrive, we recommend that you take Supershuttle (blue/gold
vans). This company serves the entire LA area. At LAX, Supershuttle
can be found at the VAN stops on the traffic islands located
outside of baggage claim at each terminal. At Burbank, Supershuttle
is also located at a traffic island outside the terminal.
Dispatchers will be there to call in a van to Pasadena for
you.
