Los Angeles

• Follow signs to passport control immediately on landing
• Have onward boarding pass and hotel/address ready for questions
• Burbank has very limited international service, so most travelers will not deal with a major immigration process here. On the rare occasions when customs processing is relevant, volumes are far lighter than at LAX. That makes BUR generally much easier for quick arrivals and departures, but you should still confirm your specific flight setup in advance.

Hollywood Burbank Airport is one of the easier Southern California airports for a quick city transfer, with direct rail access via the airport-area stations for Metrolink and Amtrak plus local bus links. For many visitors, rideshare is the simplest option because Burbank, Hollywood, and parts of downtown are relatively reachable when traffic is moderate. If you want the most predictable public option, rail can work well depending on your final stop and schedule.

• Leave enough buffer - trains run to a schedule and can be delayed
• Buy your return ticket in advance if possible
• Set an alarm 80 min before your departure gate closes

• Re-entry security at BUR typically takes 10-20 min
• Check your gate - it may have changed while you were out
• Liquids bought in the city cannot pass security - finish or bin them
