TRAVEL INFORMATION

The most convenient airport to Pasadena is Burbank Airport, about a 20-minute drive from Pasadena (about $30 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. We recommend that visitors make use of the shared-ride vans (Prime Time or Super Shuttle), which cost $20 to $30. A taxi ride from LAX to Pasadena costs $80 to $100. Participants interested in sight seeing around the Pasadena area should probably rent a car at the airport.

Old Town and the Fuller are within close walking distance from the Sheraton. Carnegie is a 15-20 minute walk from the Sheraton, and a 10 minute walk from the Fuller. The best way to get from the Saga Inn to either Carnegie or the Sheraton is by taxi, which should cost no more than $5.00.
