Shopping During a Layover at LAX

LAX Layover Shopping - You might have time to do some shopping while on layover at LAX. If you have less than 3-4 hours then you won't be able to venture much further than Howard Hughes Promenade or possibly Westfield Culver City. But if you have more time, it's easy to get to Santa Monica using Blue Bus Rapid #3, or go to Hollywood via the FlyAway Union Station bus to the Red Line train. Either trip takes around an hour each way. Here are some suggestions for shopping during an extended layover at LAX.
