Ended up being 40 minutes on the nose from union station to T1 on the 9:30 pm flyaway. The driver took the Nash exit and then Imperial to Sepulveda and turned right from a couple lanes out into the far left lane, then 98th to Vicksburg. I had time so I rode all the way to T7. It was about a half hour all the way around- unfortunately the flyaway still uses the upper level for drop offs. The should just turn on a “no pickups” sign and use the bus lane on the lower level.

At about 9:10 a guy showed up at the flyaway who had an 11pm flight out of TBIT. I told him he’d probably have a better chance with an Uber. The 9:30 flyaway got to TBIT at around 10:17- he’d have been cutting it pretty close. Hopefully his driver didn’t take the sepulveda exit...
