Free airport shuttle: look for the Embassy Suites bus at the “pick-up” area on the second level of each airport gate; the ride usually takes 15–30 minutes. Parking: just $20/night, and only $5 on Saturday for drive-in attendees (normally $45/day).

✈️ Airport

Fly into Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

LAX has many more flight choices and cheaper fares than the area’s other airports. Santa Monica, Bob Hope, and Burbank airports are also nearby and may offer more convenient schedules or pricing.

If your drive would take more than 8 hours, ASGA recommends flying. Your conference hotel offers a free shuttle from LAX, so there’s no need to arrange a taxi if flying in.
