Got Some Time To Kill Between Flights?
Travelers who have time
in-between flights can now take advantage of free shuttle service
offered at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) from Terminal 2
to the Flight Path Aviation Historical Museum on Imperial
Highway.
The shuttle to the Flight Path Museum departs Tuesdays and
Thursdays at 11 a.m. and 12 noon from the blue LAX shuttle bus stop
in front of Terminal 2 on the Lower/Arrivals Level, across from the
Bob Hope Hollywood USO. The museum is located in the LAX Imperial
Terminal on the airport's south perimeter at 6661 West Imperial
Highway. The return trips from the museum depart at 12:20 p.m. and
1:15 p.m, arriving at Terminal 2 in approximately 10 minutes.
"This is a great opportunity for
travelers to see Flight Path's impressive collection of
memorabilia, saluting the history of LAX, airlines, aviation
companies and aircraft," said Flight Path President Rowena Ake.
"This is the only aviation museum in Southern California situated
on a major airport."
The museum is operated by the Flight Path Learning Center of
Southern California, a nonprofit community-based organization, in
cooperation with Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), the City of Los
Angeles department that owns and operates LAX and three other
Southern California airports. Flight Path honors aviation pioneers,
recognizes the economic importance of aviation and aerospace to
Southern California, and encourages youth to pursue education and
careers in aviation-related fields.
The shuttle service will operate for a 90-day trial period to
gauge public response. Terminal 2 was selected as the location to
pick up and drop off travelers because of its proximity to the Bob
Hope Hollywood USO at LAX, where military personnel often wait
several hours between connecting flights. Passengers from other
terminals can reach Terminal 2 by catching the LAX Airline
Connection Shuttle "A", which operates continuously and stops at
all terminals.
Flight Path is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on
Tuesdays, Thursdays and the first Saturday of each month. Admission
and parking are free.
