Airports

• Los Angeles International Airport

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.

• In what conditions and over what distance or load was the speed or capacity figure measured?
• Has this been deployed on a live network, and with which operator can that be confirmed?
• What is the measured power consumption per unit of traffic in the field, not the lab?
• Which standards and interoperability tests has this passed, and who certified them?
