It's best to get to LAX too early and waiting there than it is to be stuck waiting in traffic or long lines and missing your flight. Try catching the 8:00 PM bus and here's why; 1) Thursday nights, Friday nights and Sundays nights are the busiest times at LAX, 2) In case the 8:00 PM bus gets full, you have the 8:30 PM bus as a back up, 3) Getting to the airport may only take 30-45 minutes but once the bus gets there, it can take another 20-30 minutes for the bus to go around the LAX airport loop, 4) The Terminal you are flying out of makes a difference. The bus will drop off riders at Terminal 1 first and then at each subsequent terminal with Terminal 7/8 being last. Each stop can take about 5 minutes or so, 5) TSA security lines can get long and time consuming, especially when LAX get busy. Times can vary from 10-30 minutes, sometimes longer, 6) The plane doors usually gets closed 20-25 minutes before the departure time. Get to your gate 45 minutes before the departure time.
9:00 just to make sure you have enough time to get through security
