Effective May 2015, Parking Spot has implemented a customer-only policy for its shuttles at LAX. This effectively means In-N-Out Burger runs via Parking Spot Shuttle will come to an end.
From certain LAX terminals (e.g. T1), it is probably fastest to walk to In-N-Out Burger using the sidewalk on Sepulveda Blvd. This is a roughly 15 minutes walk. From the lower (arrival) level, take the sidewalk outside T1 and cross Vickburg Ave and walk east towards Sepulveda Blvd. Turn left at Sepulveda and head north pass the urgent care facility at 96th street and cross Lincoln Blvd to In-N-Out. Please note that it is recommended that you walk from the lower (arrival) level. The upper (departure) level sidewalk will lead to towards Sky Way and it has very narrow and inadequate sidewalk, which is difficult to navigate with luggage.
From terminals further afield, you can utilize the free LAXit Shuttle (green buses) to Rideshare lot. Take the Shuttle Bus at the LAXit sign on the Lower/Arrival Level in front of each terminal. Once you reach the Rideshare lot, walk towards the sidewalk on Century Blvd and follow it to Sepulveda. Turn left at Sepulveda and head north.
To return to LAX from In-N-Out Burgers, follow the sidewalk on Sepulveda south towards LAX and turn right on Century. Walk to T1 if that is your departure terminal. Catch the free Airline Connection Shuttle A from T1 to other terminals.
From terminals further afield, you can utilize the free LAX Shuttle C to Long Term Parking Lot C. Take the Shuttle Bus at the LAX Shuttle & Airline Connections sign on the Lower/Arrival Level islands in front of each terminal. Exit the bus at the first stop outside the airport @ 96th between Skyway and Sepulveda (before the bus enters the parking lot). From there, it is a 7~8 minute walk to In-N-Out on Sepulveda Blvd. See Google Map Here: https://goo.gl/maps/yyuJu
To return to LAX, follow the same path back to 96th Street but continue past Skyway to the LAX Lot C Shuttle Depot to board awaiting bus. See Google Map Here:https://goo.gl/maps/m4J3m

Thanks for all your replies! I wound up booking the 12:30 pm flight back to Atlanta, then was notified two days later that the flight is now scheduled to leave at noon. It sounds like I should still be OK timewise, and hopefully In 'n Out won't be too crowded at 10:30 a.m. on a Tuesday. I think I will probably try walking there, since I should have time to recheck my bags first and it'll feel good to get some exercise after a 7500-mile flight.

From TBIT to In-N-Out will take you about 20-30 minutes, depending on how fast you walk. (It usually took me about about 20-25 minutes from T3, which is about ~3 minutes of a shorter walk than from TBIT.)

Either way, when you exit TBIT, turn left, and you'll walk by T3, T2, T1. You'll eventually make a left on Sepulveda (either by continuing to walk down Airport Way along Park n' Fly, cutting across the Park n' Fly lot, or turning left just past T1 and following that drive/ramp to the police station). You'll see planes landing... head towards the flight path, and you'll see it in front of you.

. I find that the lower levels are not only less sunlight but also more tobacco smoke, and upper levels are much less trafficky. I would allow 30 min door-to-door just to make sure you can feel leisurely about the walk. In a pinch, with light or no luggage, you could run/jog it in 15 min, but then you'd be rather sweaty as you pass through TSA...

Hey,
I have a 3 hr 5 min layover on DL in LAX coming up. The layover is late at night, with the flight arriving at 7:15, connecting to a 10:20 or so departure to SYD. Is this is enough time to do an In-N-Out run? Is the walk safe at night? I'm thinking it should still be light out since it's summer...
I assuming the best way would be to exit DL terminal at arrivals level, then cross over the T1/T2 via East Way, then walk the route previously described?
Thanks

Thanks. I actually have just a little more time on the return, probably better to just do it then. That way I'll arrive before it actually opens.

I'm actually not sure you can walk along Upper East Way. I would advise going to ground level, then cutting across the central area though the parking garages to T2/T1.

A related/unrelated question
Since the In'N out burger can be accessed by walking from the terminals, is it walkable to those hotels on century blvd ? Particularly the closest hotel from LAX, Radisson ?

Very. Standing on Sepulveda next to the Radisson, you probably can see In n Out (and definitely vice versa).

On the map is it a shortcut to in'n out, actually make a left on Skyway that become W 96th st, then make a left on Sepulveda ? Or is it from T1 don't make a left til Sepulveda ?

Yes, you can do that. I think a shorter-cut could be to walk diagonally through the Park n Fly lot from across T1 to the car exit gates, make a right on 96th towards the police station, then left on Sepulveda.

If you are on the upper level, you can't take Skyway because there is no sidewalk.
If you are on the lower level, it's easier to just walk to Sepulveda, rather than down Skyway and then make an turn on 96th street. You are not saving that much time.
