LAX Is 18 Miles From Downey — Let a Bus Handle the I-105
It just got easier to get your group to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) (1 World Way, Los Angeles, CA 90045) without the headache of the I-105 and I-405. From Downey, LAX is roughly 18 miles west — a 25-minute drive on a clear morning that stretches to 55 minutes or more when the I-105 and I-405 interchange backs up during peak hours. According to the INRIX 2024 Global Traffic Scorecard, Los Angeles drivers lose 87 hours a year to congestion, the 4th-worst in the country.
One charter bus from the network handles the I-105, the terminal drop-off on the upper departures level, and keeps every passenger together instead of splitting your group across four separate cars hunting for short-term parking. Fill out one form to compare buses and pricing for your LAX run!
At LAX, the off-airport staging point is the Charter Bus Lot at 6226 W 96th Street, entered from 96th Street; the LAX charter bus lot relocation notice places the current lot there effective September 10, 2025. Your bus waits there while you gather everyone and every bag, then pulls to the lower arrivals roadway's charter-bus zone when your group is ready.
Long Beach Airport Is the Closest Airport to Downey — And the Easiest
No airport is closer to Downey than Long Beach Airport (LGB) (4100 Donald Douglas Dr, Long Beach, CA 90808) — just 11 miles south via I-605 S, a 15- to 30-minute ride on a good day. LGB is a single-terminal airport served by Delta, Hawaiian, and Southwest, which means no complex curb systems and no terminal-by-terminal pickup rules. Charter buses drop off and pick up curbside directly on Donald Douglas Drive at the terminal front — straightforward access that makes group coordination simple.
If your group is flying Delta or Southwest and has any flexibility on which LA-area airport to use, LGB is almost always the easier choice. Compare buses for your Long Beach Airport run through Downeycoachbuscompany.com in under 30 seconds!
LGB's approved vans and buses are reservations only, so your charter bus is planned before it reaches the terminal; the Long Beach Airport approved ground transportation provider list carries the current pickup rule. Your bus arrives curbside when your group is ready instead of gambling on an open spot in the terminal loop.
Need the easiest no-step approach? ADA white curbsides run in both lanes directly in front of the terminal and at the Ticketing Lobby, with the Ticketing Lobby curb marked as the easiest access point on the Long Beach Airport accessibility page. Your bus can pull forward there so passengers with mobility needs do not have to cross the terminal roadway.
Multi-Stop Airport Pickups Across Downey and Southeast LA Are Easy to Arrange
Just because your group is scattered across Downey, Norwalk, Bellflower, and Paramount doesn't mean everyone needs to drive separately to the airport. Downeycoachbuscompany.com makes it easy to find buses for multi-stop airport pickup routes that sweep through southeast Los Angeles County before heading west on the I-105 to LAX or south on the I-605 to Long Beach Airport. Add roughly 10 minutes per stop when building your departure window — that covers pulling up, loading luggage, and getting back on the freeway. List your stops in order when you fill out the quote form and the pricing you see already accounts for the full route.

Coordinating a Large Group Through LAX? Here's What to Know About Charter Bus Pickup
Coordinating a large group through Los Angeles International Airport takes a little planning, and knowing how charter bus pickup actually works at LAX saves everyone time. Charter buses pick up passengers on the lower arrivals roadway in the designated commercial vehicle zones outside each terminal's baggage claim — not at the LAX-it lot, which is reserved for rideshare pickups only. Because buses cannot idle at the curb, the bus stages off-airport and pulls to the arrivals curb once your group is assembled, luggage in hand, and ready to board.
The rule: do not call for the bus while passengers are still at the carousel. Gather everyone curbside first, then make the call — done in that order, boarding takes minutes instead of a second loop around the terminal.

Long Beach Airport (LGB) is the closest major commercial airport to Downey at roughly 11 miles south via I-605 S — typically a 15- to 30-minute drive. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is about 18 miles west via the I-105, making it the most-used airport for Downey travelers but a longer, more congested ride, especially during the AM and PM peak windows on the I-105 and I-405.
At Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), charter buses drop off on the upper departures level curbside at the appropriate terminal. Pickup happens on the lower arrivals roadway in the designated commercial vehicle zones outside each terminal's baggage claim. Charter buses cannot use the LAX-it lot — that zone is reserved for rideshare pickups only.
Because curbside idling is restricted, the bus stages off-airport and pulls forward once your group is assembled and ready to board.
For most Downey airport runs, booking two to four weeks out gives you a solid selection of vehicles and pricing. For peak travel periods — Thanksgiving week, the December holiday stretch, spring break, and summer weekends — book four to six weeks out or more. LAX runs on busy travel days see high demand across the entire Los Angeles market, and waiting until the last minute typically means fewer vehicle options and higher pricing.
The earlier you compare, the more you have to choose from.
Yes — multi-stop pickup routes are one of the most common airport setups booked through the network. A typical Downey-area run might sweep through stops in Downey, Norwalk, and Bellflower before heading west on the I-105 to LAX. Add roughly 10 minutes per stop when working backward from your flight time.
List your stops in order when you fill out the quote form, or give them to an agent at 562-635-5250, and the pricing you see already accounts for the full multi-stop route.
Significantly. Long Beach Airport (LGB) is a single-terminal airport, which means no terminal-by-terminal pickup rules and no LAX-it-style rideshare lot confusion. Charter buses drop off and pick up curbside directly on Donald Douglas Drive at the terminal front — straightforward access with far less congestion than LAX.
For Downey groups flying Delta, Hawaiian, or Southwest and with any flexibility on which LA-area airport to use, LGB is almost always the simpler, faster option at just 11 miles from Downey.
Through the network, you can compare sprinter vans for smaller groups of up to 14 passengers, minibuses seating 15 to 35 passengers with overhead storage for carry-ons, and full-size charter buses seating up to 56 passengers with reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, and large undercarriage luggage bays. ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network too — just mention it when you request your quote. Compare pictures, amenities, and pricing all in one place in under 30 seconds!
