90 minutes
Greetings from the LAX Avis rental car bus! It took 90 minutes to get here from Palmdale, leaving a couple of minutes after 3. I took 14-5-405-La Tijera-Airport Blvd; the 405 was pretty slow from the 10 to LAX but not a complete disaster by any stretch (about which I did not complain) . Thanks for all the advice!

Just ran across this shuttle service between LAX and Orange County...$20 each way. Pricing seems a little sketchy......They want $34 from LAX directly to SNA, but only $20 to an SNA airport hotel or address near the airport.

Friday night commute times?
I have a flight from ORD to Hawaii and am thinking of flying into L.A. the night before. I know that LA freeways can be nuts at certain times and days. I would be arriving into SNA around 7:30pm on a Friday night. I can also take a flight that gets me in around 9:30pm. What is a normal time to make this commute at these times on a Friday? I guess i could also stay near SNA and do the drive in the a.m. instead. How is this drive on a Saturday around 6am? Thanks!

Construction work may be scheduled during the night. I-405 near I-605 often has lane closures or full freeway closure from 10PM until 5AM for bridge work. Check the Cal Trans Lane Closure site here:
http://www.lcswebreports.dot.ca.gov/...do?district=12
For example, this coming Friday night, 12 December, it looks like they will start closing off lanes on I-405 near I-605 beginning at 10:00 PM, and completely closing lanes from 11:00 PM until 5:00 AM in both the Northbound and Southbound directions.

I have a flight out of LAX on Monday the 22nd of December at 7.20 PM. My return flight is Friday January 1st at 11.30 am .
I live in Irvine, maybe miles max from SNA. I was looking for the most economical and easy way to get to LAX but reading one of the posts gave me this idea:
I have 9 free rental days on National. I've had them for a long time and never redeem them. Would I be able to rent two one ways rewards, sna-lax and lax-sna?
