    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.

    There are some outlets behind seats near wall at terminals. If you are not charging something, please try to avoid taking up seats near charging centers. Thank you.

    One of the ugliest/hard to navigate airports I've every been through. Make sure you know your gate...no shuttle between terminals....:-(

    Write down where you parked and remember arrivals and departures are on two different levels... Not a fun place to get lost after a long flight

    It's an airport. You just need to know how to get through all the traffic to make it a quick pick up or drop off.

    When flying out from lax, always arrive two hours before departure. The lines at lax can be extremely unpleasant.

    I always take a Benadryl a half hour before I fly so I can sleep/nap through long flights... It also makes me not care as much about turbulence.

    Compared to other airports around the area, LAX offers much cheaper options (mostly thanks to Spirit) which I appreciate. Traffic is always awful though & not much to do inside airport

    Don't eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a banana milkshake before your 6 hour trip from NYC to LAX.

    Is it too much to expect people to wear clean cloths n these crowded buses? I am sandwiched between two of the funkiest men I've ever smelt, eye opening!

    For an airport so important, moving around is not very easy; the eateries are difficult to find, and some of the staff was not very helpful.

    The new Tom Bradley is very nice, except bad ventilation from the restaurants. I dislike having food smell on my clothes especially when I did not dine at such location.

    LAX is a ridiculous clusterf*ck. Huge, jammed with traffic, impossible to get around.

    If you're picking someone up at LAX, don't waste money by driving around in circles or parking. Wait at the Cell Phone Parking Lot (it's free!) until your party calls you that they're ready.

    Flew Southwest, got to airport at 3:10 pm, flight departed 4:00 pm. Made it through security, had time for a drink and the plane left on time. Very impressed!

    If you're picking someone up and arrive early, theres some secret parking on the side of the roads that go through the middle of the airport.

    Spirit airline sucks but def cheap. Sometimes $29 one way to Vegas. Check spirit airlines flight status before u depart to see if its delayed.

    Best way to get out of LAX is the FLYAWAY bus to Union Station and then back for your flight the same way.

    Unlike Midway airport, if you hear the "moving sidewalk" at LAX it's due to an earthquake. Stay calm it will be over in second.

    United is the WORST most ARCHAiC Airline known to mankind. Upgrade your seat & you still WON'T be invited to first class. Snack or TV en route?! Forget about it. helpful people during check in? NONE

    The problem with LAX is you never know how long its going to take. You might breeze through security in 15 min. It might also take 3 hours.

    If you are stinky from travel, go spray cologne / purfume from the Duty Free store samples. Your stench will be more pleasant.

    If you can, avoid the guys outside who offer to bring your bags to your check in. They make fun of you if you don't tip 20 bucks
