Ive been told to ignore what MapQuest says as LA based folks tell me the transit times quoted are not realistic....
I will arrive in LAX on Thursday... and leave Saturday... from the posts above it seems that the day of the week is important in traffic determination, etc.
Any thoughts and/or advice would be appreciated.... bottom line, do I need to forget the Westin LAX and go elsewhere...?
Thanks,

It really depends on what time of the day you travel, as traffic is fairly bursty yet predictable. I would say you could do that trip in about half an hour without traffic. With traffic, it can get much longer, and I'd take the surface streets. Unfortunately, I've found Fridays to be the worst days for traffic, especially around the 405 and 10 interchange and the Wilshire area around there, starting at about 2pm.
