Airport Travel in the SFV
Let the Good Times Fly!
The holidays are just around the corner: time to start planning that vacation. With the recent issues surrounding airline safety, statistically speaking, traveling by airplane is still the safest form of transportation. So, where are we going? If traveling domestically, Burbank Airport is your closest option if you live in the San Fernando Valley. If you want to jet-set the US and other parts of the globe, LAX offers international travel. How will we get there? Here are some options for you to ponder that will take the stress out of your travel plans. Let’s Go!
Uber/Lyft:
One of the benefits of taking Uber or Lyft is you don’t have to rely on friends or family to drive you to the airport. You also don’t need to worry about parking your vehicle at an airport lot where the fees vary from lot to lot but range from $48.00-$70.00 a day! You can ride solo or pick a ride-sharing option to reduce the cost. The fee varies by distance to your airport of choice. For example, a ride from Sherman Oaks to LAX will average between $55.00-$95.00. Check the ride-share app for further details.
