    Arrival guide

    Los Angeles Airport — What You Need to Know

    Los Angeles International Airport, IATA LAX · 27 km from Downtown LA · 5 km from El Segundo · 15 km from Santa Monica.

    LAX operates nine terminals arranged in a horseshoe loop, with Terminals B through E handling domestic carriers and the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) serving most long-haul international flights. Immigration queues at TBIT can run 45 to 90 minutes during peak arrival banks, so factor this into connections. The new Automated People Mover (APM) train is linking terminals and the new consolidated rental car facility, reducing the need to take shuttle buses across the airport.

    Metro C Line (Green Line connector)USD 1.75 per ride45-70 min to Downtown via transfer

    Hollywood Burbank Airport

    Hollywood Burbank Airport, IATA BUR · 19 km from Hollywood · 22 km from Downtown LA.

    Burbank is a compact, single-terminal airport served primarily by Southwest, United, and American Airlines on domestic routes. Arrivals here are noticeably faster than LAX, with no international immigration and a car park you can walk to in under five minutes. It is a genuine alternative for travellers flying in from US cities who are heading to the San Fernando Valley, Hollywood, or Griffith Park.

    Flying to Los Angeles rewards the planners. Book 8 to 12 weeks out on transatlantic routes and 6 to 10 weeks out from Asia-Pacific to catch mid-range fares before summer demand pushes prices up by 40% or more. LAX suits travellers who want serious options at the other end: world-class food, genuinely diverse neighbourhoods, and a coastline that justifies every hour on the plane.

    What works well

    • Massive route network
    • Great BNPL coverage
    • World-class food

    What to watch

    • Book early June-Aug
    • LAX queues notorious
    Nine terminals in a horseshoe loop is a design decision someone should answer for, and the immigration queue at Tom Bradley can eat 45 to 90 minutes before you've even claimed a bag. Fly in January and you're looking at $280 fares; fly in July or August and you're paying 40 to 60% more for the privilege of the same seat. Split the cost with Affirm or Klarna if you must, but budget for the city itself: restaurant prices here run 88% above the global average, so the plane ticket was never the expensive part.

    05Do I need a visa to visit the United States?

    Travellers from most Western countries, including the UK, Australia, most EU nations, Japan, and South Korea, can enter the US under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) using an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization). ESTA costs USD 21 and is typically approved within minutes, though applying at least 72 hours before departure is recommended. Travellers from countries not covered by the VWP must apply for a B-2 tourist visa, which requires an in-person interview at a US embassy. Always check the latest requirements at the official US Department of State website before travelling.

    06How do I get from LAX to central Los Angeles?

    The most affordable option is the LAX FlyAway bus, which runs direct to Union Station in Downtown LA for USD 9.75 per person and takes roughly 30 to 50 minutes. Rideshares (Uber and Lyft) cost USD 25 to 55 depending on your destination and traffic conditions. The Metro C Line (Green Line) connects to the broader LA Metro network via the new Automated People Mover, though the journey to Downtown involves a transfer and takes around 50 to 70 minutes.

    07What is the best time of year to visit Los Angeles?

    March through May offers the best combination of comfortable weather, lower fares, and manageable crowds. Summer (June to August) is warm and lively but expensive, with beaches and theme parks at peak capacity. September and October are a quieter, often overlooked alternative with warm temperatures and noticeably lower prices than peak summer. The city's average temperature sits around 18 to 19 degrees Celsius year-round, so there is genuinely no bad season, only more or less expensive ones.

    08How long is the flight to Los Angeles from London?

    A direct flight from London Heathrow to LAX takes approximately 11 hours and 10 minutes. Return flights eastbound are slightly shorter at around 9 to 10 hours due to prevailing jet stream winds. British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, American Airlines, and Norse Atlantic Airways all operate this route, with fares typically starting from around USD 500 to 600 one-way in economy.

    09When does my e-ticket arrive after booking on Laters.com?

    Your e-ticket is delivered immediately after your booking is confirmed, regardless of which payment method you use. This applies to BNPL bookings as well, so you can book now, receive your e-ticket instantly, and spread the cost over the coming weeks or months.
