Beth DeLongJuly 15, 2014Perhaps I just got here on a bad day, but this is the least efficient and least intuitive airport I've ever been to. If you fly through here, plan on a longer layover than normal!!
Stephen BosargeFebruary 21, 2017Ack, definitely easy before you get shuttled to regional terminal. Food is ridiculous price, and not too nice to eat either
Huge airport, Saudia flights land there and See's candies open inside 😋
Headed to San Juan Puerto Rico for a mini vacay with the besties and my favorite girl My baby sister Calandra Riggins!!! So excited!!!!!
Give yourself extra time to get through security. Smile at your fellow travelers & even TSA. No one enjoys LAX; there's no need to make it worse. :)
Gavin WongNovember 3, 2013LAX International has become a high-end Westfield Shopping Mall... Or vice versa.
Jantzn MaySeptember 19, 2013Don't take a taxi at LAX, take a Lyft! Download the Lyft app and use promo code ZNB2CY to get $10 free toward your first ride!
Get a seat in front of the walk path in the middle and you're bound to see some celebrities.
Probably one of the most disorganized airports in the western hemisphere. Get in and out as quickly as you can!
IvanSeptember 23, 2013Under renovation, looking to be much better. But if you are traveling here before Oct, note that the dining places are not opened yet. There is free starbucks and mineral water though...
RexSeptember 3, 2017No free wifi before customs. Terminals are not connected by train, just by shuttle bus (for now), making connections tricky. Lyft and Uber pickups are a nightmare. Fly into another LA airport
AliciaMay 9, 2014Departing T5 and need cappuccino? Walk straight ahead at the top of the escalator to Farmers Market. GOOD cappuccino!
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!
You're going to Hollywood, baby. But first you'll have to enter through this dated excuse for an airport. Watch out for the paparazzi.
Zack WilliamsDecember 18, 2022Compared to some other int’l airports it is a bit of a mish-mash. No railway/light transit connect means traffic is awful. Staff on the other hand are a revelation all mainly friendly and helpful.
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.
Give yourself two hours for a domestic to international transfer. It will be far and lines will be long.
If there's a chance you can fly out of any other airport, do it. Like LITERALLY any other airport. Or just drive.
Your gate inevitably is always one of the 17s all the way at the end.
I am huge fan of the 'Daily Grill'which has got a perfect Bar to wait for a flight !!
Spend the extra $35 when checking in....ask for the special "Pants Optional Deal". It's so comfortable flying without those constricting pants!
Virging america is the best airline carrier in US. Great airplanes and helpful staff.
AmandaNovember 18, 2012LAX takes a little longer to get through than most airports so for a safe measure of time be sure to get here 2 hours before departure.- Steve MannMarch 21, 2020Some of their staff are good, others, not so good. It’s just like what happens everywhere else when some people don’t listen to suggestions, and others have to step in to insure that things are done.
if you're in Delta Terminal 2 and want to get to Terminal 3, take the shuttle bus near gate 22A.
Here early? Grab a drink, sit back and enjoy some people watching.
Lax-it is unsafe with its overcrowded buses, and lunatic drivers. Also the music in here is FULL VOLUME. WTAF?!
Southwest terminal was never a great place to wait, but it's worse now with construction. If you have time to kill, do it before going thru security.
American Terminal has a Real Food now. Great juice and plant based options
Courtney BrownJune 17, 2013If you get a grilled chicken Caesar salad from the Starbucks in the American Airlines terminal, don't use the flimsy plastic fork to cut the chicken! It will break and make a mess.
Uri CisnerosApril 4, 2019For some airlines you have to do the check-in in one terminal and to go to another one to board, that's not something well planned.
Chad SuppJune 25, 2013Spending 5 minutes at this airport, in this town, you understand why all the movie stars are buying tracts of land in Montana to get some SPACE.
If in Terminal3 (virgin america) stop by gladstone's for the catch of the day. Todays special - Mahi Mahi in Ponzu sauce wrapped in Banana leaves! Awesome!
Men: In the restrooms, try peeing as hard as you can into the urinal splash guard. #Science #Amazing
Gladstones is really the only option for food or beverage. Grab a seat at the open seating area near the bar instead of waiting for a table.
Moe DexlerMarch 29, 2015You have to catch a rental car shuttle here according to your brand of rental company. Long lines and complete mayhem.
Party on at the Delta terminal! Lots of usb power jacks and good eats.. But more space for pre-flight drinks might be nice!
Recommendation for American: Get it together. Security is a mess and backs up. Plan for that. Restaurants aren't reopened yet. Summertime travel welcomes you to the Cattle Zone. Terminal 4 needs work.
The most amazing place to sit and wait for your flight. In the Qantas Lounge.
Get a Starbucks while you are waiting for your baggage :)
If you're flying out of Concourse C, eat before you get there as remodeling continues to drag on and there's little choice.
If you're flying @United there is a secret water/soda machine between 70's & 80's gates $1.50!
If you want a snack, get an iced coffee & muffin at @Starbucks ! I also got a Kit Kat from the Book Store for some quick energy after that long security line!
It is a horror show. poor signage especially to the rental car locations. Be patient each rental car brand has its own busses and they can go 20 minutes without one then three arrive at the same time.
Malo MedinaNovember 18, 2014Get here two hours early! This is a very very busy airport and running late could result in a missed flight!
Protip: stand several feet away from the baggage claim for the best view but expect clueless people to stand directly in front of you oblivious they've blocked your view.
