One of the most convenient ways to get to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) from throughout Los Angeles county is to hire a car service such as Uber or Lyft. However, if this does not fit into your budget, consider taking a Metro C Line bus, which is also known as the Green Line. From your bus stop in Los Angeles, you will be dropped at the LAX Station on Aviation Boulevard. From here, you can take a Lot G Shuttle to the terminals for free if you show your airline ticket. Another convenient option to get to LAX from either Van Nuys in the San Fernando Valley or from Union Station downtown is to take the FlyAway bus, which will drop you directly at your terminal. At Cancun International Airport (CUN), you can catch an airport shuttle into Cancun, which should take anywhere from 16 to 30 minutes. You can also catch an ADO bus at Terminal 2 and take a 50-minute ride into Cancun, to the Cancun Bus Station.

What are the benefits of the different airports in Los Angeles and Cancun?

If, for your flight from Los Angeles to Cancun, you choose to depart from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), you will have many more flight options than you would if you left from the Ontario Airport (ONT). Also, LAX has far more services and amenities than ONT, a smaller and more basic airport. However, traffic into and out of ONT, and at the airport itself, is much lighter than the traffic around and within LAX. Also, if you live in the Eastern part of Los Angeles county in towns such as West Covina or San Bernardino, ONT is a more convenient location. When you fly from Los Angeles to Cancun, you will most likely be flying into Cancun International Airport (CUN), but you might also find a flight that lands at the Cozumel International Airport (CZM), which is over an hour from Cancun by ferry and then bus or taxi. If you plan to explore the beaches, villages, and islands near Cancun, then landing at CZM gives you a great place to begin your travels. But if you plan to stay in Cancun for your vacation, CUN is a more convenient airport.
