If you are looking for the Cheapest way to get from LAX to SAN, given your heavy luggage and all I'd say there three options: a) Taka a shuttle: The Cheapest, may take longer than driving or flying but you can simply sit down, relax and enjoy the ride. About $50 (see link) b) Rent a Car: If you're familiar with the roads and if you get a good deal, it may be comparable to the shuttle. $40/day (+insurence, +drop-off charge, +tax+other fees)Cons: Traffic and Gas probably adds another $40 to the tab. c) Catch a shuttle Filgth: The most expensive option. $150+. They may charge extra for your heavy bags. Flights between LAX and SAN usually are on turbo-prop planes which have serious weight limitations.

If you can get someone to drop you off at the San Diego Amtrak station, just take the train straight up to LA and get off at Union Station. From there, the Flyaway shuttle will take you straight to the airport. The Flyaway shuttle also provides checking service, so they can take your 2 big bags for you and transfer them directly to the airline.

When we flew to Hawaii a couple of years ago, we just rented a small car. One-way pick up & drop off was cheaper than the shuttles, train, or anything else we could come up with. I think round-trip including gas, we spent less than $90 (Cloud 9 shuttle on the other hand would have been $95 for EACH of us!)

Train...I believe the Amtrak will take you straight there.

Well the issue is cost vs, convenience. The cheapest way to make the trip is to take commuter rail between SD and LA union station by starting on the Coaster train from SD to Oceanside for $5 then taking a Metrolink train to LA union station for about $10. Once at Union station you can take a Flyaway bus directly to LAX for $4. The same would apply for the return trip. If you wanted to spend a bit more you could take an Amtrak train directly from SD to LA and avoid the commuter train transfer requirement in Oceanside but the Amtrak fare is about twice the cost. Good Luck.
