Can you pick me up from a private flight at Van Nuys Airport and take me to LAX?

What time should I leave Van Nuys to avoid the Sepulveda Pass backup?

The 405 south through the pass is usually heaviest from about 6:30 to 10 AM and again on weekday afternoons. Leaving before 6 AM or between 10 AM and 2 PM gives the steadiest drive, often close to 30 minutes. For a flight in a peak window, add 30–45 minutes to your buffer.
