Airports

With five airports serving the L.A. metropolitan area, flying to the convention is convenient and
efficient. Los Angeles International Airport, or LAX, is the largest airport and the closest gateway to downtown L.A. Shuttle buses to terminals allow quick access to the entire airport. From there, you can take one of many ground-transportation services to your hotel, including taxis, buses, rental cars, van shuttles, and the Metro Rail Green Line. Among the other options are Ontario International Airport, located 35 miles east of downtown L.A., and Bob Hope Airport in the San Fernando Valley.

Take advantage of special discounted airfare on United Airlines and its international Star Alliance partners for travel to Los Angeles!

RI shuttle service

Registered convention attendees staying at official RI hotels will have shuttle service from area hotels to the Los Angeles Convention Center and back.

Getting around town

The 200 Metro bus routes and five rail lines are the quickest and most affordable means of commuting around town and to major area attractions. Find route maps and schedules at www.metro.net . Taxis and rental cars are also plentiful.
