All Aboard: You Can Now Buy LAX FlyAway Bus Tickets Online

Heed the call of the beeping horn of progress: You can now buy tickets for the LAX FlyAway bus from Union Station or Van Nuys online. (Sorry, ones for the Westwood line aren't available online yet.)
The online system will make it more streamlined for families or people traveling in groups, since the single bar code generated will indicate the number of fares purchased. The tickets bought online are good for up to 30 days from the date of purchase. And you don't have to print--you can get the tickets on your smartphone for scanning.
Tickets for the FlyAway bus are $7 for adults, while children 5 years old and younger ride for free. Bookmark this url for buying tickets online; a link to make the purchase is not yet present on the FlyAway site.
