Kate BoykoApril 29, 2016I expected more. Very few food places and shops in domestic area. Plus, if you have an international transfer flight with a stop here - you would have to go out, pick your bags and change terminals.
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.
Make sure to drop by Marvin's complimentary show shine.
Colin LeeJune 9, 2017If you're flying delta international flights, make sure to check your bags T3 first before heading o Bradley terminal
LaurenApril 26, 2012The Alaska section of Terminal 6 is loaded with outlets and comfy seats--definitely the best spot to spend a layover.
This airport is busy 24/7. Always allow yourself extra time going through TSA and getting to your designated gate.
The Amazing RaceSeptember 14, 2011“The Amazing Race” trivia: Over the first 10 years, “The Amazing Race” has traveled approximately 586,000 miles total around the world!
CODi Inc.August 4, 2011Concerned about your laptop's security at the checkpoint? Checkpoint-Friendly laptop cases are recognized by the TSA and allow your laptop to stay in the case for scanning.
As for a room if you have two cats to get past security. Easier than taking them out with a lot of activity happening.
DomAugust 31, 2014Make sure you get here 2 hours early for your flight. Security takes 15 minutes when you are early and over an hour when you are pressed for time.
PopWrapped!March 12, 2013This airport isn't for the faint of heart. Be sure to give yourself PLENTY of time to get through security for morning/afternoon flights. Security can be insane.
Crowded. Take the left exit for Terminal 7 for a shortcut or to go down to arrivals. Watch out, the 105 Exit is on the far right.
Ray NagataniJuly 27, 2013If you land at terminal 1 and are getting on any shuttle, you may save time walking across to terminal 7 for pickup. Traffic can make it take 30 minutes to pick up at each terminal.
Everyone is hating. Nothing better than first class LA-NYC on American. The best airline food (amazingly) full bar, full beds. Cured my fear of flying!
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. :)
Be prepared to get there early if you are unfamiliar with it. Large airport with multiple terminals can make it somewhat confusing for newcomers.
If you have a connecting flight with American Airlines and a very short lay over, don't worry all of the AA gates are close to each other.
AdamJuly 26, 2012Seating is sparse around gates. Way more people than seats available. Power outlets? You might be able to solve the US economy's issues in the time it will take you to find one.
United departure parking structure #7 on 3rd floor ramp is quick way into the United gates
TeamTRI says If you're driving into LAX around Gate 1 and need to get to Gate 6 or 7 use the cut across rather than drive the whole horseshoe. Saves time and hassle and is usually not crowded.
The comfy lounge seats for Southwest are the best way to wait for your flight. They all have outlets too.
Steph SApril 30, 2011First experience with Virgin America and it has been a painless experience so far. Couldn't ask for a smoother check-in... With great piped music to boot! :-)
SiobhánJanuary 26, 2019Nice to walk through and easy to move around. No real food options before security though.
Bradley terminal. If you have time, Dodge double security lines to see amazing lounges.
If it is busy in the arrivals pickup area, try getting picked up on the departure level.

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.
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.
Lovely place. Good shops and food that won’t cost you the Earth
Mobile check in is fast and easy and get there early!!
Marco Aurélio RiosJune 29, 2013Get free rent cars shuttles at any arriving taxi area. Ps. Look for your company sign to get the right shuttle.
when picking up, use the cell phone waiting lot off Sepulveda and 96. don't risk the ticket for parking at the curb.
CristianJune 29, 2014Free WiFi with good bandwidth in all Airport. Enough to make calls through skype without any interference.
Want to be felt up by a stranger ??? The security here does a great job. Lol
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...
Billois AxelrodJuly 11, 2014Getting from terminal 1 to terminal 8 is like an episode of Amazing Race without leaving the airport.
Get here early and don't piss off TSA. They're famous for making it take extra long to check your things and private screenings so long that you miss your flight.
Men's Health MagAugust 3, 2014Hungry? Hit Michael Voltaggio’s ink.sack, Umami Burger, or Pink’s Hot Dogs (an LA hot dog institution). Read more
Convince airport officials that you're a celebrity then get them to escort you through the back way. It rocks. :)
Jay HaganOctober 2, 2010If you are flying Air NZ and have a long connecting flight def goto the VIP lounge! $55 all u can eat and drink, nice lounges and free wifi! Amazing!!
Valentine's Day MovieFebruary 2, 2010If you’ve got some spare time, have a romantic “Encounter” at the restaurant in the center of LAX with 135-foot high parabolic arches and a futuristic design. #vday
Kabeer Al-KabeerAugust 21, 2017Traffic Always jam You nead more than 35 min from last traffic lights to reach you terminal, and you need more time to reach terminal 5 or 6
The 10:30 PM red eye to NYC from LAX is always full, make sure you travel light.
This has gone from being one of the worst airports to one of the better ones at least the international terminal. Smart partnership with Westfield mall for a great retail experience. I'll be back.
Ermias BizuworkFebruary 21, 2013When flying from LAX make sure you take a dump before getting to the airport. The toilet water is so high you most definitely will get the splashers.
Carmen WJanuary 19, 2013Strong contender for least passenger friendly airport. Air NZ transit-ers: prepare for bad queues for passenger 'processing'. Pee before you get off the plane - there may be no relief for some time!
