LAX to Pasadena — What to Expect
Pasadena is approximately 30 miles northeast of LAX via the 105 East to the 110 North (Pasadena Freeway). Outside of rush hour, expect 35-45 minutes. During peak traffic, allow 50-70 minutes — the 110 North is one of LA's most congested corridors during evening commute.
Your chauffeur knows alternate routes through Eagle Rock and Highland Park when the freeway is gridlocked, and the best approaches to specific Pasadena venues.
