Getting to UCLA

General information about transportation to UCLA can be found on the Transportation Web site.

If you are staying in the residence halls and are flying in from out of town, you should plan to arrive at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) no earlier than 11:00am on the Sunday prior to the first day of DESMA instruction. Please avoid scheduling your flight to Long Beach and Burbank Airports. LAX is approximately 13 miles from UCLA, while Bob Hope Airport in Burbank is 21 miles away, and Long Beach/Daugherty Field Airport is 32 miles away.

Housing check out is on Saturday by 11:00am. The approximate travel time to LAX on Saturday morning is 45 minutes. Please schedule your return flight reservations accordingly.

Airport Shuttles

One option to help you get from a local airport to the UCLA campus is Super Shuttle, a transportation van service. One-way fare to UCLA from LAX is about $25.00. You do not need to make reservations in advance. After arriving in Los Angeles and retrieving your luggage at the baggage claim area, proceed to the Super Shuttle sign located on the outer island under the overhead blue van stop.

To return to the airport from UCLA via Super Shuttle, you will need to make a reservation by calling (310) 782-6600 or by visiting their Web site.

FlyAway Bus Service

The FlyAway Bus Service offers non-stop buses between UCLA and LAX. Click here for more information.

Taxis

Taxis are readily available at various pick up points labeled “Taxi” outside of the baggage claim area at all local airports. Taxis to UCLA from LAX generally cost about $35 each way. Note: if traveling to campus with another person, sharing a taxi is generally cheaper than taking an airport shuttle.
