However, I am unfamiliar with LA do not know how long it would take for a shuttle van to reach this location next to the Miyako Hotel.

I have more options flying into LAX, earliest arrival is about 7:18am? Is this enough time to reach my destination in downtown LA by 9am on a Friday?
I forget what my options are for BUR, but I believe the earliest arrival is maybe closer to 8am. From what I've been reading, it seems it's easier to travel from this airport. How much time, if any, would one save? How early would I have to arrive to BUR to make it to a 9am event in downtown LA on Fri (via shuttle)?

Also, how about heading back out from the downtown LA area to LAX vs. BUR. How much time would I need to get to the airport? I don't want to book a flight that I can't make.

Thank you in advance for your help!!!
