When someone next to you complains more than once about the security line, turn around and remind them that there are worse things in life. Like people who complain about trivial things
Big beautiful airport. Don’t forget to check Yosemite on the descent.
Andrea AceyOctober 27, 2011If you're flying out of terminal 4...get there early to grab the shuttle to your plane. The terminal is under construction and the shuttle will take you off site...don't miss it!
Klatch Coffee in UAL terminal is CLUTCH with best espresso in any domestic airport. Great service too.
If you’re getting dropped off at terminal five there a short cut road to your left that avoid most of the traffic around terminals 2 & 3
Get here earlier than you think you need to. Never know how long TSA security will take. Sometimes, the line stretches all the way down the lobby from one end to the other.
TO be honest, I have very little good to say about LAX lately. Getting to terminals is horrible, the ride app pickup location is forever away, & you can’t even get a draft beer at the int’l terminal
be prepared for security checkout. everything out of your pockets, means everything. I got here early, almost no waiting. now time to enjoy my 9.00 orange juice.
teqrie AndersonJanuary 27, 2015The women's bathroom needs an upgrade !! ORD has more up to date facilities. ORD's facilities are cleaner and all the doors work...im just sayin
Gavin WongNovember 3, 2013LAX International has become a high-end Westfield Shopping Mall... Or vice versa.
Noel LathamFebruary 18, 2017Don't fly with Delta! Especially if the weather is bad in LA. They where super unhelpful, and we were stranded in LAX without food, water, or any other concessions for 6 hours.
If landing here close to 5, choose your immigration line wisely, shift changes happen at 5 and it is anything but seamless. You think this is something they would have figured by now.
Virgin America and Continental are almost always my airlines, and flights are delayed quite often, so don't be surprised if yours is. Oh, and it gets chaotic in the afternoon.
Terminal 1, Southwest, is now looking good! Lots of new eating options too!
Dmitry LyubimovMay 3, 2013Spirit ppl are super responsive! I left 2 leather jackets and sunglasses at 1 floor. Lady bring it to me in a 5 min and when I was trying to tip her, she didn't accept any money from me! Thanks Spirit
Whether you go to pick up someone or see someone off, drive up the Departures and park in Parking 3/4. People drop off and leave so the route is not crowded compared to arrivals. Just take elevator do
A sad and miserable airport. Airports like PDX invite you to linger and explore while awaiting your loved one or waiting for your flight. LAX encourages you to get the **** out one way or another.
Zachariah CooneySeptember 29, 2014Have the person wait on curb while the driver waits in cell phone parking lot or in the center where the restaurant is
FilmsquareMay 25, 2013James Bond lands at LAX in Moonraker (1979) and is met by Drax employee and helicopter pilot Corinne Dufour to be flown to Drax's estate.
Make sure you give yourself some time on Delta because they have two terminals and have to take a bus between.
If landing on Alaska in Terminal 6, there is an Interterminal Bus Transfer to American Terminal 4 at Gate 65A.
Be aware TSA rules, prepare, organize your personal belongings. This will save you time and reduce stress.
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)April 19, 2017[PIC] Sun Country Airlines is moving in May from T2 to T6. Check-in T6, flights depart/arrive T5.Contact airline http://ow.ly/mjut30aXvUM
If you have dog there is fenced in mini dog park between American Airlines+Bradley terminal in corner complete w astro turf+fire hydrant
Just super large but efficient. Rental Car shuttle right outside baggage claim. Enjoy So Cali
This place is total chaos! Great for people watching though.....every idiot think theyre a star! Bah!
AliciaMay 9, 2014Departing T5 and need cappuccino? Walk straight ahead at the top of the escalator to Farmers Market. GOOD cappuccino!
It's an Airport. Security is strict so no messing around guys!. Good selection of places to eat, decent sized gate waiting areas and nice lounges if you're that lucky.
Purchase a membership with Clear for expedited access. So worth it.
Get a $39 Delta Sky Club day pass at the self service kiosk at gate 59. Scan your boarding pass, then look for the offer near the bottom of the screen.
Hometown La Brea Bakery is great choice if flying via Terminal 1 (Southwest); Coffee Bean, via Terminal 6 (Alaska)
Judi HarrisNovember 16, 2013Sammy's grill restaurant employees HUSTLE! They all work together and everyone has a smile on their face. Way impressed
Klatch coffee in terminal 7 (United airlines) is amazing both for sandwiches and brew
OcoMarch 25, 2015No trains for terminals transfer so for connections you need to walk or wait for white/blue buses in the outer road of the ground floor ;)
If you're coming back internationally, expect to spend 2 hours clearing customs and checking bags back in... Not to mention possibly changing terminals. Make sure you have the extra layover time!
Candace MetzgerSeptember 2, 2017Love the Virgin America terminal. Nicely remodeled with shops and restaurants
SerenaNovember 15, 2012One of the crowdest airport in the world. Shops are not that special, but you can find any kind of food. Welcome to LA!
If you have a lot of time to kill go to the mod bar/lounge in that space age tower. It's awesome!
The rental car return is usually pretty far from the airport so buffer an hour for traffic between return center and the airport during rush hour!
The only Pinkberry that opens at the right time to serve breakfast parfait, enjoy!
Stephen BosargeFebruary 21, 2017Ack, definitely easy before you get shuttled to regional terminal. Food is ridiculous price, and not too nice to eat either
Headed to San Juan Puerto Rico for a mini vacay with the besties and my favorite girl My baby sister Calandra Riggins!!! So excited!!!!!
Don't check bags, it takes almost 30-40 minutes to get them! Welcome to L.A! So glad to be back home.
When picking someone up who's arriving, make sure to tell him/her to wait on the ARRIVAL level (downstairs) and not DEPARTURES (upstairs). Apparently, not self-explanatory to everyone.
Make sure you have your front license plate if you park in the long term parking lots. Been ticketed by LA cops for not having it many times.
Go see Tyler at the Delta Sky Club and order a Brass Monkey. It's free. You're welcome.
It's big it's slow it's worth getting priority upgrade to avoid the lines, it has decent shopping but the gates can be a long walk. The quality of the terminal depends on the airline you fly though.
If ever you have the choice, fly in and out of Burbank instead
BruceJuly 27, 2013This is by far the dirtiest, smelliest and crappiest airport I have ever been in. The Tri state airport in Huntington Wva is 100% better than this giant port o potty. Get it together LA.
Get a seat in front of the walk path in the middle and you're bound to see some celebrities.
