    Perhaps 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!!

    Don’t park here. Lyft in and out. Oh, you can also stop at In N Out while on your way to or from.

    Stand as close to the baggage carousel as you can. Make sure no one else has a view of what's going on...

    Looking for pancakes? Of course you are! Hit up Monet's (terminal 6) for some amazing blueberry & banana pancakes.

    Free wifi is fine and security from early international flights that get here before 6 is a walk.

    Getting here as a foreign passenger will be very stressful for you, the attention is good but the waiting time is just too much.

    If you're flying out of Terminal 1 but want to say goodbye or have breakfast before passing thru security, it's a 2 minute walk to the secret @Starbucks in the baggage claim area of Terminal 2.

    Ignore the haters, this is the best airport EVAR! LAX is the melting pot of the world... National airlines of countries you didn't even know exist!

    It was a nightmare getting in/out of here. Rental cars are offsite via shuttles. Long walk between terminals via hot underground tunnels. Hope I never have to come into LAX again!

    Be prepared for extra long lines. Baggage claim for Southwest Air and Airtran is always Baggage Claim carrousel #1 or #2 only.

    There are underground tunnels that will get you to baggage claim and/or outside faster than walking through the terminals. Look for the escalators!

    For Terminal 4-American Airlines First Class/EXP check in, drop off is the door closest to the International Terminal (or by Qantas check-in area). This is to avoid having to fight the crowd inside T4

    What's with the toilets, gaps so wide in the cubicles they may as well put the loo in the middle of the room for all to see. AWFULL

    Shuttles pass btw moving planes like it is regular traffic .. to go frm one terminal to another I had to step out and redo security. Old lady trips at the bottom of escalator and humans pile up!

    Parking can be a pain. Valet is off site. Most terminals need updating. International terminal is almost complete and delta has had a make over. American is working on theirs.

    If 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.

    Pay attention, traffic changes fast and there are lots of crazy drivers. Look for 20 somethings carrying backpacks on their front; they are paparazzi- stick around you might see someone renown!

    Charge your batteries... you'll find Jimmy Hoffa before you'll find an outlet. Random power towers that are awkward and miserable to share.

    United Premium security line requires paper tickets. You need to go in the long regular line to use a digital boarding pass. #backwards

    Parking in Economy Lot C? Give yourself some extra time and prepare for a jam packed ride on the shuttle bus. Central terminal parking is expensive ($30/day), but oh so convenient.

    Don't hold up the security line - if you're wearing complicated shoes, there are tons of benches right after security where you can do them up

    If using an Uber, Use the Premium service so you don’t have to trek to the LAX-it station. 🙄

    This isn't a tip either, it's a question - is there not a bar in T4? If you refer me to Chillis Too, I will call you a douche. Also if you charge me $5.29 for Evian, you're also a douche (Hudson News)

    Don't arrive at the airport too early. It doesn't open till 4am and if you are cutting it close on time, most airlines will help you get through security so you don't miss your flight.

    Do not get sidelined by the timeshare people trying to “help” you. Head all the way outside for shuttles and taxis.

    If you stay at the Sheraton next to LAX, don't! Sleep on your luggage in the grass. The bed was like sleeping on sail cloth on top of 1/8" plywood on top of old truck leaf springs. F this place
