FLYAWAY BUS SERVICE OFFERS TRAVEL TIPS FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

(Van Nuys, CA)- With Memorial Day weekend as the traditional kick-off for summer travel and activity, an increased number of passengers is expected to use the FlyAway bus service as a low-cost, convenient transportation option from the San Fernando Valley to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

"Plan ahead is our advice to travelers, because the bus terminal is a popular location during this three-day period," said Van Nuys Airport Manager Selena Birk. "The parking lot at the FlyAway could fill to capacity as early as this Wednesday."

To avoid delays and traffic congestion, travelers should observe these suggestions:

• Arrange to be dropped off at the terminal.
• For those drivers using the parking lot, use it as few days as possible to free up spaces for others. The parking fee is $1 per day. The maximum time limit for parked vehicles in the lot is 15 days. Call (818) 994-5554 to find out if the parking lot is full.
• Allow extra time for possible delays due to traffic congestion and baggage check-in at LAX.
• There is no reserve seating on the bus.

Roundtrip fares are $6 for adults (ages 13 and up) and $3.50 for children (ages two through 12). Children under age two are free. For more information, call (818) 994-5554.
