Kenswing Posted February 27, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Yes. I've made an 11:00 before. Did walk off and took a taxi to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-mattox Posted February 27, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Yes, absolutely. Be in the first walk-off group and take a cab or Uber and you will be there in plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennybenny Posted February 27, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I think you might be OK. Get off as early as you can (walk off) and grab a taxi. They have flat (set) fares from the port. (Was it $60 or $65?) I can't recall price. It might be a little stressful, but you can probably get there fine. Hopefully the lines for checking luggage at the airport won't be terrible. I had a 11:30 AM flight on a Monday, and BARELY made my flight. I told the Taxi driver I was in a rush to catch my flight so he "changed routes" and got me there as fast as he could. He kept the meter running, which I thought was odd since it's a flat fee, but maybe it was to show me it "could have" cost me more? No idea. We encountered freeway traffic, airport traffic and I had LONG lines to check luggage, but I made it as they were boarding (missed my boarding group), but I was traveling for 10 hours so I didn't care!! Just happy I didn't have to wait in LAX till the next flight out! I would have preferred a flight after noon but it was not an option Good luck!

Thrak Posted February 28, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hopefully things work out for you. I asked a very similar question yesterday in THIS THREAD. We are going to try to make a 12:05 flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCAdventurer Posted February 28, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted February 28, 2017 thank you all for your advice. i'm flying southwest to tucson and the next departures are at 3:30 and 5pm and i don't want to have to hang around LAX that long. hopefully the sunday morning traffic won't be too bad and i do have tsa precheck so hopefully it won't be bad. i'm glad to know there is a flat rate from the port to LAX. that's a big relief.

Being a Sunday you should have even less of a worry. Traffic won't be nearly as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
