LAX to The Kia Forum
About 5 miles · 10–15 min in normal traffic, 25–40 min on event nights. Same trip in reverse, Kia Forum to LAX. Private group shuttles and charter buses, staged in advance.
Quick answer: The Kia Forum is about 5 miles from LAX by road (roughly 4 miles in a straight line): 10–15 minutes via Century Blvd and Prairie Ave in light traffic, 25–40 minutes when the Forum, SoFi Stadium or Intuit Dome has an event. The return, Kia Forum to LAX, is the same distance; straight after a show it runs slower while the venue lots empty.
The Kia Forum sits about five miles from LAX — one of the shortest airport-to-venue transfers in Los Angeles, and one of the most frequently searched. For groups flying in for a concert residency, the question is rarely distance. It is whether a group of 40 with luggage can get from baggage claim to the venue without splitting across a dozen rideshares.
The route is short but the variables are real. LAX curbside for large vehicles works differently from private cars, arriving groups rarely clear baggage together, and Century Boulevard carries both airport traffic and Inglewood event traffic. Add a concurrent SoFi Stadium or Intuit Dome event and the last mile becomes the slow one.
GTS Charter meets arriving groups at the correct LAX charter staging area, waits through the reality of a delayed bag carousel, and delivers to the Kia Forum's designated drop-off on Kareem Court — the same zone we use for residency shuttle rotations.

Common Questions
LAX to The Kia Forum FAQs
How far is the Kia Forum from LAX?
The Kia Forum is about 5 miles from Los Angeles International Airport by road, or roughly 4 miles in a straight line. The drive takes 10 to 15 minutes via Century Boulevard and Prairie Avenue in normal traffic and 25 to 40 minutes on event nights, particularly when SoFi Stadium or Intuit Dome has a concurrent event.
How long is the drive from the Kia Forum to LAX?
The return trip is the same distance, about 5 miles, and takes 10 to 15 minutes in normal traffic. Straight after a show, allow 30 to 45 minutes because the Forum's lots and the surrounding Inglewood streets empty at the same time. Groups catching a late flight should build that egress time into the plan.
Is there a shuttle from LAX to the Kia Forum?
There is no dedicated public shuttle between LAX and the Kia Forum. GTS Charter provides private group shuttles and charter buses on this route — meeting arriving groups at the correct LAX charter staging area and delivering to the venue's Kareem Court drop-off zone.
Can you meet a group whose flight is delayed?
Yes. We track arriving flights and hold the vehicle rather than charging a no-show — groups rarely clear baggage together, and a short transfer is not worth splitting across a dozen rideshares because one bag was late.
Do you run shuttles from LAX-area hotels for multi-night residencies?
Yes. Multi-night Kia Forum residencies are one of our most established services — nightly rotations from the LAX hotel corridor with post-show return service that runs on the venue's actual egress, not an optimistic timetable.
