This maybe is trivial of me but Mrs. Fletch and I are very concerned about arriving at LAX this Friday at 4:40pm. I want to make the tranistion from the Plane to I-405 go as smoothly as possible. I plan to take whatever car No #1 has waiting and go get in line for the 8 mile, 2-hour, trip up to W. Hollywood.

Flying in on USAir. I know that Hertz is on-site but from there I'm lost.
Do I go to baggage claim? Do I shuttle?
Any advice on getting out of the airport and quickly onto the interstate?

Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom on this.
