I'm walking to LAX
This morning. It will be quicker than taking the shuttle van which can take an hour to swing around to 4.
I don't know how pedestrian friendly it is but I'm going to find out soon. I'm close--right at the entrance on Century Blvd (Homewood Suites).
Here goes nothing.

Depending on the time of day, I've often taken the hotel shuttle as far as T1 or T2 and then walked across to T7. Faster or not, it beats sitting in the traffic.

Since OMNI is for topics other than travel, points of miles, we are moving this thread to the Los Angeles forum.

Well? How'd it go? I have had to get out and walk from Century when traffic was backed up. It's not a very pleasant walk as you maneuver around people, luggage, carts, cars, etc. I would be dripping sweat by the time I got to the gate. I think I'd rather sit in AC shuttle or taxi.

I do it all the time. 10-15 minutes from nearby hotels depending on your walking speed and the terminal you are heading to.

No problem! 20 minutes from the Homewood Suites to T4. Beats the shuttle that easily would have taken 45 minutes plus. There is signage too to direct you for the walkers.

I walk to the terminals from the Cell phone/remote drop off lot or In-N-Out all the time... usually faster than shuttle to T4 or T5.
I live 2 miles from LAX so I've also rode my bike to LAX a couple of times when I did day trip and didn't have luggage.

I'd find a way to bike at least partway to LAX if there was secure bike parking or it was easier to fly with a bike (I don't want to spring the $$$ for a folder with a trailer that becomes the travel case).
