Block time is about 3 hours. The route has grown rapidly over the past decade as Austin attracted tech companies, film production, and creative industry workers from California. Tesla, Oracle, and numerous startups relocated or expanded Austin operations, generating a new wave of corporate travel between the two cities. SXSW in March and Formula 1 in October are the peak fare events on this route.
Austin's Airport and Expansion
Austin-Bergstrom International opened in 1999 on the site of the former Bergstrom Air Force Base. The airport has outgrown its original single-concourse design. A new midfield concourse is under construction to add gate capacity. Passenger volumes exceeded 22 million in recent years, up from 11 million just a decade earlier. LAX-AUS passengers arrive into the Barbara Jordan Terminal, where all gates are airside-connected. Ground transport includes Capital Metro buses and rideshare. Austin's lack of a rail connection to the airport is a common complaint, though a light rail project is in planning. The 6th Street entertainment district and the convention centre are a 15-minute ride from AUS.
