Flying from Los Angeles International
Los Angeles International spreads across nine terminals arranged in a U around the central hub, with the inter-terminal LAX-it shuttle and the new Automated People Mover (opening late 2026) connecting them. Metro Rail does not yet enter the airport directly — the K Line shuttle and FlyAway bus to Union Station are the rail-adjacent options. American, Delta, United, Southwest and Alaska all run major operations here; international long-haul fills T2 and the Tom Bradley International Terminal.
Arriving in Aruba
Queen Beatrix International on Aruba is the southern-Caribbean island's only airport, 3 km southeast of downtown Oranjestad. US Customs and Border Protection pre-clearance operates here — passengers clear US immigration before boarding, arriving in the US as domestic flights. Fares peak November–April when northern winters push demand; the rest of the year is significantly cheaper, and Aruba sits south of the typical hurricane belt.
