🇲🇽How to get there from Mexico
Flight options from Mexico's biggest cities to the venue
LA is the most popular US destination for Mexican fans. Dozens of daily direct flights. Volaris and VivaAerobus often have the cheapest prices.
💡 CDMX-LAX direct 10+ flights/day. Volaris and VivaAerobus cheapest.
💡 MTY-LAX direct daily with Volaris.
💡 GDL is closest to LA. Alaska has comfortable flights at good prices.
Consider Long Beach (LGB) or Burbank (BUR) airports instead of LAX — smaller and less crowded though fewer direct flights from Mexico.
🛬How to get there from the airport
Compare transport options from each airport to the stadium
Los Angeles Intl. (LAX)
Main airport, closest to SoFi (10 min). One of the world's largest, with nine terminals.
Uber / Lyft
Most practical. Official zone at LAX-it (transport hub) — free shuttle from terminals.
💡 LAX uses LAX-it system for Ubers. From terminal, take free green shuttle to LAX-it.
Metro K Line + shuttle
LAX metro connection since 2023. Downtown Inglewood station 1.5km from SoFi — walk or shuttle.
💡 Cheap but new option — busy on match days. Leave earlier.
Car rental
LA is a car city. For multiple stops (Hollywood, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills), rent.
💡 All rentals at LAX-ARC consolidated facility (free shuttle). Credit card insurance usually suffices.
🚗Getting around the city
Options to get around, color-coded by safety level
Uber / Lyft
Main way to get around LA. Rush hour surge pricing can double short trips.
💡 Use UberX Share in groups. Avoid Ubers 4-7pm if you can.
LA Metro Rail
Expanding but still limited. Connects Hollywood-Downtown-LAX-Santa Monica. Avoid lines at night in industrial areas.
💡 Useful for Hollywood and Santa Monica. For SoFi, take K Line.
Walking (Santa Monica, Hollywood, Venice only)
Santa Monica Pier, Third Street Promenade, Hollywood Blvd, Venice Boardwalk are walkable and safe. Rest of LA is NOT.
💡 Use these pedestrian zones for dining/strolling, Uber/Metro to connect.
🗺️Zones: where to walk, what to avoid
Neighborhood-by-neighborhood advice. Green = safe, yellow = caution, red = avoid
Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Manhattan Beach, West Hollywood
Safest tourist areas. Walk day and early evening. World-class dining, bars, shopping.
💡 Santa Monica is best base without a car — walkable with Metro to Hollywood/LAX.
Hollywood Blvd at night, Downtown LA
Hollywood Blvd has many homeless at night — uncomfortable but not dangerous. DTLA empties after office hours.
Skid Row, Compton at night, South Central
Severe crime or drug issues. No tourist reason to visit. Skid Row is very close to DTLA but is a marginal area.
💱Currency exchange (USD, EUR and more)
Where to exchange your foreign money with good rates and safety
Exchange MXN to USD in Mexico before traveling. In LA, Bank of America, Chase and Wells Fargo ATMs give good rates. BBVA partners with Bank of America (no fee).
Bank of America / Chase / Wells Fargo
Branches citywide
🕒 24/7 ATMs
$3-5 fee per withdrawal (BBVA-BofA partnership = no fee). Best rate available.
Travelex (LAX Tom Bradley Terminal)
LAX Terminal B
🕒 5am-11pm
Mediocre rate but works for initial $50-100. Avoid large amounts here.
ATMs no bancarios LAX
LAX terminals

💡Match day tips
1Traffic is brutal
LA has the worst traffic in the US. A 20-km drive can take 90 min at rush hour (4-7pm). Leave 2h before kickoff.
2Spanish everywhere
LA is almost 50% Latino. Restaurants, Ubers, stores and even the stadium will have Spanish speakers. Coke tastes different (corn syrup).
3Pro tip: weed is legal
California has legal recreational weed since 2016. Dispensaries citywide, but DO NOT take it back to Mexico — federal crime in the US to cross with it.
Match day budget
$200 — $600
Includes transport, food and ticket
