    It is possible to do a LAX / ORLANDO round trip the same day and have fun but you have to go nonstop on Delta or United

    A lot of Air Canada codeshare flights leave from United terminal 8, which doesn't have duty-free. Get your stuff ahead of time if you remember.

    The 44 gates are absolutely no where near gate 45. Be prepared and have enough time for the required bus journey.

    Find the Mexican Bar near the Southwest Gates. If you look straight up there's a giant penis on the ceiling. #penis

    Make sure to get to your gate before time. There is always mix ups, cancelations and flight changes.

    The library at terminal 6 is small but nice, the coffee bean was probably one Of the cheapests (don't get tour hopes up) but the wifi is HORRIBLE

    Come with plenty of time plenty of traffic jams in the airport. If you don't mind paying for parking your better off parking to avoid the traffic jams.

    Delta requires you to drop checked bags at terminal 2. You’ll need to figure this into your departure plans.

    Give your self an additional hour to the standard time time before your departure. If you're taking a shuttle from rental. Give your self an additional 1.5 hours before departure.

    When you exit the terminal, be sure to inhale thy fresh air. A thousand cigarette smokers all congregated around the exits ... good times!

    Don't buy any drinks if you are transferring terminals for a connecting flight, they're not connected and you'll have to go through TSA again at your final terminal

    There is a tunnel that connects Terminal 6 to Terminal 5 that you can take and not have to exit security and be rescreened at one or the other.

    Be happy and enjoy the flight. There are a bajillion other worse things you could be doing. Like digging ditches, being incarcerated or sitting in a boring meeting.
