As detailed on the directions page, Lake Arrowhead is about two hours east of LAX, Burbank and John Wayne (Orange County) airports, and about an hour east of Ontario airport.

CARPOOLING & CAR RENTALS

Our transportation recommendation is to rent cars and carpool. Rental cars in the LA area are relatively inexpensive, and the trip is not an unpleasant one -- especially the second hour, which winds through some really lovely mountains. The venue has very limited parking, so they (and we) do ask that you try to carpool and fill your car. Towards that end, we have created a Carpool thread in the forum, and MaxFunCon attendee Carol has created a handy Google spreadsheet, where you can indicate your interest in carpooling, either as a passenger or as a driver.

A couple of basic guidelines: if you're a passenger in someone else's car, it would be great if you could offer the driver about $20 each way to defray rental and gas costs. Also, if you're a driver, make sure to get the flight and contact information for your guests, in case of delays. We don't want anyone getting left at the airport.

SHUTTLES

In addition, we will offer shuttle service to and from LAX and Ontario airports for $75 round-trip. Shuttles will leave both airports at 3PM on Friday, June 12th, and leave Lake Arrowhead at 1PM on Sunday, June 14th. Note that if your flight is late coming in, we can't guarantee that we'll wait for you. We also can't guarantee the time of your arrival at the airport on Sunday, though it's likely to be around 3PM.

You must purchase your shuttle tickets by April 12th if you wish to use this service. (By the way: sorry it's kind of expensive and a hassle, we couldn't figure out a way around that.)
