Flying in to SoCal: Please schedule arrivals and departures from ONT airport (Ontario, California). The moderator or someone else can pick you up from and return you to ONT. If you’re an intercontinental traveler, the moderator believes you must land in LAX. The moderator would like for you to post or PM your itinerary to confirm your visit.

NEW! Transportation between LAX and Plague’s House: Public transportation makes life easy! After you land, go from LAX to Union Station via FlyAway Bus. Once there, use either the Metrolink Riverside Line to the Pedley Station (M-F only) or the San Bernardino Line to the Rancho Cucamonga Station (7 days a week). Make sure to click the schedules link to see which one works best for you. The moderator or someone else will pick you up from there. After the event, the moderator or someone else will return you to one of those train stations and you can make your way back to LAX.
