No matter what airline your flying, be sure to pre-check in. Unless of course you have time to waste.

Virgin is the way to go, without a doubt.

My experience hasn't been so terrible here. I think that if you plan ahead and give yourself enough time to go through security and get to your gate you'll be good. Terminal 3 food joints are lame.

Wait for your arrivals at the cell phone parking lot next to C lot.

If you can-fly in/out of Long Beach. Expect to wait half a lifetime for your luggage.

As the terminals are connected, please refrain from exiting security

Had a layover here. Not many options for food in our section and couldn't get to any other sections.

I feel sorry for anyone whose introduction to Los Angeles is LAX. Apparently the designers felt our airport should evoke the same feelings as our freeways.

Someone stole my jacket 5min from entering the airport and no one was really able to help.

USE THE E-BOARDING PASS! You don't have to mess with printing anything off. All you need is your phone!

Avoid the backscatter machines and opt for the pat down instead. During the pat down, groan with pleasure and ask the agent to help work through the knots in upper back.

Head just outside the airport to catch an uberX. They aren't allowed to drive up to the terminal for pickup.

Busy. And rental cars are off site 😝

I was only here for layover but the amount of walking I had to do to get to my connection flight was a little annoying. Plus a lot of construction going on.

Remember, the person checking scanning machine can only see your genitals, not your face. So it's totally no big deal.

Catch the United VIP line, upstairs walking straight from the parking structure bridge

Never over pack your suitcase! It will cost you a pretty penny on Delta.  my biggest lesson today. ... Oh well I'm headed home...

Could not see the amazing hall unfortunately:(. But very close to Venice. Very accessible

Park for free in short term parking with an electric car

Ask the police men for the hidden pass behind the duty free...

Huge airport, it is important to be aware of the gates you have to go to. Staff are not very nice in general, and at the pizza place they are very rude to foreigners

On the shuttle off to Reno to see my best friend...Debbie see you in a couple of hours!!!

Surprisingly quick and efficient at the immigration checkpoint and customs. You should try Paris CDG!

One of the not so easy airports I have been to in US.

Like the music. It's like I'm a patient in One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. So calming. So soothing.

Terminal 1 has a Starbucks at the end as well as the one next to security, and it always has a shorter line.
Tiffany KamAugust 6, 2013
Long but efficient lines. Cheers to southwest and its 1 free baggage, no change fees, and skycap.

Coffee lines in the morning are horrible!! Another note AA is totally messed up here checking in was retarded. And the escalator to security almost killed a group of people as the line stopped at top

People say this airport confuses them - those people are dumb. It's in a U shape with clearly defined airlines at each terminal, if you get lost here...I don't even know
René LePaulSeptember 23, 2014
Decent airport. AA terminal gates can be confusing. The burger bar is everything tho! Yummy

the primary airport serving the Greater Los Angeles Area, the second-most populated metropolitan area in the United States.

The only way to get in and out is to use a pick-up & drop service.

If you have time, get a drink or eat in the iconic Encounter restaurant. It's nice, plus now earthquake reinforced!
David MoreiraNovember 7, 2013
Nice airport..good food..lot's of outlets
AdamAugust 25, 2012
Stay out of the American Eagle Terminal until just before your flight - it's like being in a crumbling east european soviet-era terminal.

Construction going on now. Found this outlet sticker when I desperately needed to charge my phone.

Don't forget that you're only prohibited from bringing liquid with you, so save some money and bring food with you instead of buying it here!

If you brought your pooch on your travels, come visit the El Segundo Dog Park just minutes south of LAX.

If you just landed, make sure to stop by In and Out right outside of the airport!
