Whats the best way to get to San Fransisco from LA?

Answer 1

If you want to avoid airport delays, take a Greyhound bus or drive yourself.
If you're short on time, take a plane.

Answer 2

The most scenic route is 101 but it takes quite a bit more time than using Interstate 5. The best route depends on how much time you have. If you take 101, be sure to eat at McPhees Grills in Templeton (near Paso Robles). It's just off the highway.

Have fun!

Answer 3

If you are driving Take Interstate 5 to Interstate 580. It takes about four and a half hours.

I would fly-- check www.flyfrontier.com-- the airline just started no frills, low cost service between LAX and SFO

I would avoid a Greyhound bus like the plague-- it stops like 900 times.

and as someone else said-- the Pacific Coast Highway is nice, but will take twice as long as the Interstate.

Answer 4

5 North to 580 West

Answer 5

When I lived out there a million years ago, the Pacific Coast Highway, 101, was a nice drive.
