From the airport
Airports
Airport to the venue
LAX is about 17 miles from the Los Angeles Convention Center. The FlyAway bus runs non-stop from LAX to Union Station, boarding at the blue FlyAway columns on the Lower/Arrivals level. Metro riders use Pico Station, one block from the center. Source
Rideshare
Uber, Lyft and Opoli pick up at LAX-it, next to Terminal 1 at World Way and Sky Way, reached on foot or by LAX-it shuttle from the Lower/Arrivals level. The bureau says LAX-it runs until the Automated People Mover opens in 2026, so confirm the current location on arrival. Source
Taxis
The bureau says taxis pick up at LAX-it, with limited stands outside Terminal 7 and on the ground floor of Parking Structure 3. Taxi dispatch at 310-646-9177 is staffed 24 hours and gives the meeting place. Source
Black car and SUV pickup
The bureau's LAX-it guide says limousines and town cars pick up at the outermost curb on the first level outside baggage claim. Companies shown are those the bureau listed in its guide for the IPW trade show, which may be dated and is not exhaustive. Source
Public transit
Metro C and K Lines and several Metro bus lines reach the LAX/Metro Transit Center. The Metro Connector Shuttle runs from there to the terminals; look for the pink LAX Shuttle sign on the Lower/Arrivals level. Source
Questions worth asking there
A claim at a show is a starting point. These questions help you test it.
- Is the vehicle on the floor a production model, a pre-production unit or a concept?
- Which range, efficiency or safety figures come from a government or independent test rather than the automaker?
- Which features are standard, and which depend on trim or an option package?
- When will this model actually reach local dealers?

Guides for any show
First time at a major show
A show floor rewards a plan. Decide what you need to learn before you see the program, then let the program fill the plan.
Show planning checklist
The same checklist works for a payments summit, a marketing conference and a machine tool show.
Parking and getting there
Parking and transit change by event and by day. The venue and the transit agency are the sources to trust, close to the date.
Hotels and travel
Use the organizer's official housing page as your starting point. Third-party offers that use a show's name are not always connected to the organizer.
During the show
A claim on a show floor sounds as firm as a published figure. It usually is not. Keep the same few questions in your pocket, and class what you hear.
Meeting planner
A meeting earns its time when both sides know the question before they sit down.
After the show
The value of a show is decided in the two weeks afterward, when notes turn into decisions or get lost.
