LAX to the LA Convention Center
About 15 miles · 25–35 min on clear roads, 60–90 min at rush hour. Same route back, LA Convention Center to LAX. Attendee shuttles and charter buses.
Quick answer: The Los Angeles Convention Center is about 15 miles from LAX by road (13–17 depending on route), via the I-105 and I-110 or the I-405 and I-10. Allow 25–35 minutes on clear roads and 60–90 minutes at weekday rush hour. LA Convention Center to LAX is the same distance, and the departure-day run to the airport is the leg most worth planning.
The LA Convention Center sits on the southern edge of downtown, next to Crypto.com Arena and L.A. Live, about 15 miles from LAX. For convention groups the airport run is less a single transfer than two waves: everyone arriving over a day or two before the show opens, and everyone leaving at once when it closes.
Arrival day is spread out — attendees land on different flights into different terminals, and the challenge is consolidating them without making early arrivals wait an hour. Departure day is the opposite: the show floor closes, a large share of attendees head for LAX in the same afternoon window, and the I-110 and I-10 are carrying ordinary rush-hour traffic too. Large shows such as Anime Expo and the LA Auto Show also tie up Figueroa Street and Pico Boulevard around the halls.
GTS Charter runs LAX convention transfers as scheduled loops or timed group departures, picking up at LAX’s designated commercial-vehicle areas and dropping at the convention center’s bus areas at Gilbert Lindsay Plaza and the West Hall rather than the street curb. Exhibitor teams, speakers and staff can be scheduled separately from attendee loops.

Common Questions
LAX to LA Convention Center FAQs
How far is the LA Convention Center from LAX?
About 15 miles by road, 13 to 17 depending on route. The drive takes 25 to 35 minutes on clear roads and 60 to 90 minutes at weekday rush hour, via the I-105 and I-110 or the I-405 and I-10. The convention center is at 1201 S Figueroa St, next to Crypto.com Arena.
How far is LAX from the LA Convention Center?
The same distance going back to the airport. On the last day of a large show many attendees leave in the same window, so plan for rush-hour timing and allow extra time for check-in and security at LAX.
Is there a shuttle from LAX to the LA Convention Center?
Some large conventions arrange their own attendee shuttles, and public options include the LAX FlyAway to Union Station or Metro rail to Pico Station beside the convention center with transfers. For groups, GTS Charter provides private shuttles and charter buses directly between LAX and the convention center or attendee hotels.
Can you run a shuttle loop for a whole convention?
Yes. We plan scheduled loops between LAX, attendee hotels and the convention center across arrival and departure days, plus separate transfers for speakers, exhibitors and staff.
