    TSA considers vegemite to be a liquid. Put it in checked baggage or risk losing it at the checkpoint.

    During your layover, look for celebrities & laugh at the douchey overpriced California food they serve here.

    If you need to fly to somewhere from Los Angeles, this is your place (assuming Burbank won't work out)!

    Use AirportCenter Parking always. 8 bux a day and free shuttle to and from LAX. Win win situation.

    Delta terminal 5: there's a healthy-ish food stand near gate 54. Do it up.

    If ever you travel ask if it's a full flight at the ticket counter, chances are free bag check in. Thanks American!

    LAX is one of those airports that you have to check in 2 hours early to make your flight... TSA lines are long & they are rude!!

    A maze to navigate if you're planning on moving between terminals. LAX should consider a shuttle between terminals.

    Functional but needs updating. For a very large city and west coast airport these terminals are way overdue a facelift.

    American Airlines gates 44 A-L are in a seperate building with only a vending machine. Get your food before riding the bus to the gate.

    It looks dated, needs a big overhaul. If you don't have TSA pre approval, expect to do at least an hour in line.

    Not always guaranteed, but celeb parents often use this airport as a point of departure and arrival when heading to and leaving the land of glitz that is Hollywood!

    Don't take an uber here. You'll end up waiting more than 30 minutes for them to make their way from their parking lot to you. Better to take a cab.
