TRAVEL INFORMATION

The most convenient airport to Pasadena is Burbank Airport, about a 20-minute drive from Pasadena ($25 taxi ride). However, this airport has rather limited flights (mostly from the West Coast) and only a few airlines fly here (Alaskan, American, American West, Southwest, and United). Therefore, most participants will need to fly into Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), which is about a 45-minute drive from Pasadena. A taxi ride from LAX to Pasadena costs about $80. Participants interested in sight seeing around the Pasadena area should probably rent a car at the airport.
