On a Thursday, what time should I leave DTLA to get to LAX by 6:30? Not sure if the traffic is back to prepandemic level

I just moved to LA and was told to always try to fly out of Burbank rather than LAX, if you can.

Yep. Tickets tend to be more expensive but usually just by $10-20. There have been times, particularly changes of travel seasons where it can be significantly cheaper to fly out of LAX but that's only once or twice a year (February in particular for some reason, April and this year, October). This is for Southwest only.

Use Waze and add 10-20%, depending on your risk tolerance

It is almost there. There are occasional real bad bottlenecks close to the airport as well. So I would account at least 1hr ( I would have left 1.5hrs - 2hr earlier, but I am no daredevil :D)

Give yourself an hour if just getting dropped off. Longer if parking.

Oh wow, didn’t know how bad it was. Thank you!!

Traffic was bad and there’s currently all the construction at the airport as well

Approximately 1 hour depending on traffic conditions

I would check traffic at 3:00 pm to check how bad is it since peak traffic from people leaving Dtla after work gets bad by 4pm. It helps if you have fast track for 110 but other wise it can be atleast 1-1.5 hrs .

Hmm perhaps 3:30..no later than 4:30 especially if closer to the 25th

In DTLA you're closer to Burbank Airport. Easier experience. If you need to be at the airport by 6:30 (and your flight doesn't leave at 630) I'd leave by 4 at the latest.
