From Wilshire in SM to LAX is more like 8 miles. A subway connection to LAX would be great but very expensive. In any event, along the Sepulveda corridor would be the best place since this would hit much more commercial development than a route along Lincoln would. This could be done regardless of whether the Purple is even extended beyond Westwood/VA.

Taking Expo (Aqua) to the Crenshaw Line and then (perhaps) a further connection to LAX would be inefficient (if and when these lines actually get built). Much better to take a bus along Lincoln or Sepulveda.
The 3-line bus (http://www.bigbluebus.com/busroutes/) is very convenient from LAX to Santa Monica. We took it a couple of years ago and, at that time, it cost only 75 cents and the trip took not more than 30 min (admittedly on a Saturday).
