Ask your question. One of us might be able to help. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Pittsburgh | | | Hey man! I won a free trip to NAMM. My city doesnt really have taxi's, and I never flew, so Im a bit unfamiliar with how these things go. I believe they are booking my flight into LAX on Friday January 20th. Are taxis readily available around the airports? Do you know how much it might be roughly from LAX to the convention center? My hotel is called The Desert Palm right across the street. |

|  | As a matter of fact, I DO have a warning label. | | Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Near Orlando FL | | You can try Super Shuttle, too. They're national, and they run a branch out of LAX. You can book online in advance of the trip and they discount for round trips so you'll have a guaranteed ride back to the airport when you go home. I travel a lot for work, and this company has been awesome to work with. If they're available where I'm going, they're my first phone call.

TB'er RPB_McG grew up in Anaheim and still lives pretty close. If you need some tips on getting around there, PM and let him know. Tell him Tat sent you.
