    I wish it would be easier to get to the international terminal without getting luggage first!

    Cops are just waiting for you to slip-up! Be patient while doing laps. You'll save yourself from frustration and a ticket!

    Want to travel to Israel from LA? EL AL is the only carrier that offers nonstop service from LA to Israel!

    Not much is good here. I here flew from Changi Airport Singapore rated by many as the best airport in the world. I’d expect LAX to be rated in the lower half. It’s poorly designed and managed.

    Budget plenty of time to check bags and go through security. Even if you are Delta Gold. Or pay a sky cap!

    When transferring between domestic and international make sure you have over an hour and ready to do security again.

    Have your friends pick up at the departure level instead of the arrivals area. A LOT less congested traffic upstairs in the departures area.

    This airport sucks in almost every way. The staff are generally nice though and understand they’re working in an absurd universe

    Just go to the bar. No one 's judging you. And don't order a Bloody Mary - get a single malt with three cubes. After all, it's happy hour somewhere.

    Next tune leave from Burbank. Or Long Beach. Or Orange County. Or Ontario. Or just walk. It'll be a better overall experience.

    Just park in a garage. It's a lot less of a headache than navigating the hell that is the loop.

    Look at the ticket in your hand. If its for a boat or train, you're in the wrong place. Take your pants off in shame.

    If you're heading here from Pasadena, know 110 S entrance ramps are closed through early November. Find an alternative route out and give yourself extra time.

    I'm a #LA #flightattendant and can say #LAX is THE 2nd WORST airport in The States. Get the construction finished and tell #TSA to STOP yelling @ people & do their stupid job.
