Hi, I'm going on a leisure trip to California next month flying in and out of LAX. I have booked a hotel in San Diego (close to Sea World) for the last night as I got a very good deal (=free).

When do we have to start driving towards LAX to be sure we won't miss our 4PM flight back to Europe? I have heard the traffic is pretty heavy in the LA-area.

If it makes any difference; we're talking about a weekday here (Friday).

Thanks in advance for all replies
