'''Palmdale''' is a city in the far north of Los Angeles County in the Antelope Valley region of the Mojave Desert in Southern California.

Get in

By car

Palmdale is about 70 miles north of Downtown Los Angeles off of '''California State Highway 14''', the Antelope Valley Freeway. The A.V. Freeway is the area's principal ''NORTH'' - ''SOUTH'' route. The other end of CA-14 to the North connects Reno, Nevada to the Palmdale area via US Highway 395.

'''California State Highway 138''' is the principal ''EAST'' - ''WEST'' route and connects the Inland Empire (Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario) and the "Grapevine" area of Interstate 5 to the Palmdale area.

'''California State Highway 18''' connects the Victor Valley area to the Palmdale area via CA-138.

By plane

'''Palmdale Regional Airport''' ({{IATA|PMD}}) was served by '''United Airlines''', but currently has no scheduled service.

The next closest airport is '''Bob Hope Airport''' ({{IATA|BUR}}) in Burbank, approximately one hour's drive to the South, and is served by most major carriers except Northwest & Continental.

'''Los Angeles International Airport''' ({{IATA|LAX}}), '''Ontario International Airport''' ({{IATA|ONT}}), and '''Bakersfield Meadows Field''' ({{IATA|BFL}}) are all approximately the same distance away timewise, assuming no traffic.

LAX has the most travel options and is generally the least expensive, but is significantly crowded and has many a long line in addition to the excessive traffic one must usually contend with to get to/from the airport.

Ontario will be much less crowded and easier to use. Traffic can be bad at times, but not nearly as bad as LAX.

Bakersfield is also an easy to use, uncrowded airport like Ontario, but has less flight options and is also generally more expensive, however, there is little to no traffic problems reaching ''BFL''.

If you are willing to drive really far (90-120 miles), '''Long Beach Municipal Airport''' ({{IATA|LGB}}) and '''John Wayne International''' ({{IATA|SNA}}) may also be used as alternates.

There are a couple of '''Shuttle Bus''' companies that operate daily from Palmdale to LAX, costing approximately $70 one way:

  • '''Antelope Valley Airport Express''', +1 (661) 945-2529.
  • '''On Time Airport Super Shuttle''', +1 (800) 372-3372.
  • By train

    The '''Palmdale Transportation Center''' in downtown, has daily rail service to Los Angeles area destinations via '''Metrolink''', a commuter rail line. The center is also served by '''Amtrak''' California, the national passenger rail carrier, using it's ''Thruway Bus'' service. It is the metropolitan area's mass-transit hub.

    The '''Vincent-Grade/Acton''' Metrolink station serves southern Palmdale and nearby Acton with commuter rail service to/from Los Angeles.

    Other than coming to or leaving town, rail service is not particularly used in this area as there are only 2 stations serving Palmdale and 1 more in nearby Lancaster.

    By bus

    '''Greyhound Bus''' Lines serves the Palmdale Transportation Center daily.

    The '''Antelope Valley Transit Authority (AVTA)''' has daily commuter bus lines that connect to the Palmdale Transportation Center from various areas in Los Angeles. The AVTA is also the operator of the city's public bus system.

    '''Santa Clarita Transit''' has a daily commuter bus line that runs to the Palmdale Transportation Center from the nearby city of Santa Clarita.

    Get around
