So it's now either whatever the fare is above $15 (for example, north end of Manhattan Beach was about $18) or $15 minimum.

Once you get your shuttle to the RI-ElS, it should only be 5-10min tops from LAX. Pilots & FAs sometimes either get put up in Redondo Bch or downtown, both of which take longer. The hotel will be able to tell you the shuttle schedule.

Cheers.

Thanks, I was thinking FAs might be in certain hotels, but we were a bit shocked when they mentioned $50 each way taxi fares!!! And definitely thanks for the little word about the shuttle schedule - we have never utilized this before, and didn't know how it worked - whether you called the hotel to set it up or if it was a set schedule or....
