If we do not know whether you are going to Santa Monica, Pasadena, Irvine or a cruise in San Pedro, we will default to LAX and say so. Send the neighbourhood in the first reply and the airport can change.
LAX
Tom Bradley (TBIT) still takes a large share of long-haul. Domestic terminals are a different walk and a different TSA story. A published connection that looks legal can be ugly if you change terminals with children and checked bags. We would rather ticket a longer layover than a “minimum connecting time” fantasy at 17:00 on a Friday.
The other airports
Burbank is a gift if you are in the Valley and flying domestic. John Wayne serves Orange County with a curfew personality. Ontario is inland and useful when LAX fares are performing a circus. We will not rebrand SAN as Los Angeles.
Pacific and transcon
LAX is a Pacific springboard (SYD, AKL, NRT, HND, ICN, TPE). It is also a transcon factory. Combining both on one ticket is normal; combining them on two cheap tickets is how people explain themselves to a gate agent.
Neighbourhood before airport
Santa Monica, Pasadena, Irvine and a cruise in San Pedro are different airports in practice. If we do not know the neighbourhood we default to LAX and say so. Burbank is a gift for the Valley on domestic metal. John Wayne serves Orange County with a curfew personality. Ontario is inland and useful when LAX fares are performing a circus. We will not rebrand SAN as Los Angeles.

What to put on the form
Hotel area or “cruise, San Pedro, embarkation date” is enough. Cabin still has to be named. Sample homepage amounts on other city cards do not apply to LAX — send this form for a USD snapshot on your dates. Call +1 (888) 764-9585 if the sailing or conference date is this month.
Cabin and fare type
This page is the city briefing. Cabin still has to be chosen: economy class or business class. Sample amounts on the homepage are illustrations in USD, not a live Los Angeles inventory. After a ticket is issued, the airline’s fare rules control changes — not this note.
