It costs $17/person from the airport to the Pasadena Hilton. While cheaper than a cab it generally takes longer because it takes a round about route to deliver passengers to other locations. This is the probably the most cost effective and convenient way to get to Pasadena particularly if you have bags.

Bus/Rail:
This is the cheapest way and may cost you less than $5 from the airport to the Hotel but it may take a long time and it is not recommended late at night or early morning.

Take a Flyaway Bus to Los Angeles' Union Station. Claim your luggage then step out to the outer island under the green signs marked "FlyAway, Buses and Long-Distance Vans."
