Originally Posted By dresswhites my advise, don't travel into long beach if possible. the rates for either a cab or shuttle is much more than either lax or orange county. i tend to take the shuttle and from orange county is 10 dollars and from lax is 15. i took it once from long beach and it was like 25 dollars. i couldn't believe it. now i only fly into orange county or lax if i can help it.

The Airport has a regulation thru LA County to require the flat rate. On your way back, you are using an Orange County Licensed Cab, which has different rules.
