Passengers can fly direct from London to Los Angeles with numerous airlines. British Airways, Iberia, and Virgin Atlantic all fly direct from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) to LAX. You can also fly direct from Heathrow with KLM and Air France. If you are flying from other UK cities, such as Manchester or Edinburgh, your journey will include at least one stopover en route.
If you’re flying from the UK to Los Angeles, it is faster to book a direct flight than to choose a flight with layovers. The fastest direct flight is with Iberia and departs from London Heathrow. This journey takes just over 10h. On direct flights with other airlines, your journey time is typically around 11h. Meanwhile, flights to LA with stopovers can take over 13h, depending on where you travel from.
LAX is one of America’s largest travel hubs and offers connecting flights to numerous US cities, including Las Vegas, Phoenix, Denver, and many more. Passengers may even find it cheaper to fly direct from the UK to LAX and then take a connecting domestic flight to their destination. For instance, it may cost less and be more convenient to fly direct from the UK to Los Angeles and then from LAX to Las Vegas than to fly straight from the UK to Las Vegas.
The airport has 9 terminals, however only the Tom Bradley International Terminal (or Terminal B) is used for international flights to Los Angeles. Going from one terminal to the other takes about 4 minutes, and there is shuttle bus A that transports passengers between terminals. They operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and run every 10 minutes.
You can take the Fly Away bus from the lower arrivals level. These buses go to 6 different locations, including Hollywood, Long Beach, and Union Station in downtown LA. They operate 7 days a week. Another option is to take the free shuttle bus G from the airport terminals to the Metro Green Line Aviation Station, and then catch the metro to downtown LA. Please note that you will need to get a TAP card to use the metro, and to board the shuttle bus on the way back to the airport, but it is not required on the way from the airport.
Rental car offices are located outside of the Los Angeles airport terminals, however there are Rental Car Shuttle buses that can pick you up and drop you off at the terminal. You can find the shuttle bus in the lower arrivals level outside baggage claim.
In addition to regular taxi services which you can take from the cab rank at the lower arrival levels, you can use rideshare companies such as Uber and Lyft to get a lift to or from the Los Angeles airport. Both drop off and pick up are authorised in the upper departure level only, besides signs that state ‘Ride Service Pick-Up’.

If I could fly Virgin Atlantic airlines to every place, I need to go, I would. Leaving Heathrow through the special virgin air entrance, security is completely white glove service. I love this airline. From ticketing agents to flight staff everyone tries to make it a wonderful & happy flight experience. I wish other airlines copied the positive culture of Virgin Airlines.
