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

    Needs more "charging stations." It's seriously like one outlet per one hundred people looking for one. Get rid of the stupid charging kiosks and just add some more f*#king outlets.

    If you arrive in Terminal 1 and don't want to sit on the shuttle through bad airport traffic, walk to terminal 7 using the ground level sidewalk.

    United Premier access is terminal 6. You can still access 7X gates from there.

    Heads up if you're taking airport shuttle from Alaska to connect to AA, Delta, etc. Shuttle stops at 11PM & there's no sign or personnel to tell you. Walk is 10 minutes and you have to redo security.

    Don't take your laptop out, belt off, leave your shoes on, jacket on... Your own security line. TSA Precheck. Look into it.

    Come, as you are, as you were, as I want you to be: Comfortable. Because the TSA is going to suck out your soul and a beer will cost you 10 bux.

    If you are flying Star Alliance, use Air NZ lounge rather than Air Canada - nicer and much better food :-)

    Avoid busy times -- Departures from 4:00 am - 11:00 am, esp. T1 and T5, are particularly busy.

    If you're in terminal 3 & the security line blows, they have an "additional" security screening line downstairs that's MUCH faster!

    If AA bag check lines are long, go to curb side bag checking. Always faster! Don't forget to tip them

    LAX TSA is going to randomly put you thru the XRay machine. If you opt out theyre going to pat you down. Plan accordingly.

    Have a friendly chat with the tsa agent if you get checked. They're people too, and can make the experience a whole lot better.

    If you're dropping off luggage curb-side, tip to guarantee your luggage arrives along with you. Depending on the urgency, $2-$5 per bag

    Watch out if TSA checks your bag. They throw everything into a pile and when you tell them to repack the bag they continuously ask "ma'am are you sure you want me to repack your bag" so lazy...

    They need to do away with the piped-in music. We all have our own, or we have something to read. Let's tell them to turn it off.

    You can refill your liquids just after the check in area, so a bottle empty would definitely work.
