    Really, Delta Terminal? THIS is the most logical solution for baggage drop? 20 mins in line BEFORE the gate. #whyihateca

    The new 6, 7, and 8 terminals are a freaking joke! If I arrive in terminal 6, I have to walk miles (over 20 min) to get my connection in terminal 8. Couldn't they have added those flat escalators? Grr

    Take Ajira Flight 316 to either go back to the island or to transport back in time in 1977 to join the Dharma Initiative.

    Security lines can be really bad! Be there at least 2 hrs. before flight so you won't stress out following the snaking relay of line starting from the outside of the airport!

    Huge ass airport with no moving walk ways. Prepare to walk your legs off if your connecting flight is 20 gates away.

    If hungry & headed to gate 46-48 there is a Chili's To Go desk w/ decent "real" food options, e.g. BBQ chix wrap.

    Many places to eat AFTER security. Air France staff doesn't know much when you're standby. No smoking area

    Start loading your mobile boarding pass 10 mins before you get to security line. The cranky TSA lady told me it's better to just print out a pass. Guess I'm too tech savvy and granola for LA??

    This is hands-down the worst airport in America. The traffic congestion getting in, the dilapidated terminals, the lack of amenities, the lack of acceptable connections between terminals;

    The predator of airports. Billions of taxes went to build the Ontario reliever airport only to have LAX sabotage the project.

    No vendors at departures in Terminal 1, but if you take the stairs down to baggage claim there's a kiosk with drinks, snacks and magazines.

    If Jetblue security at T6 is bad, you can take a short walk down to T7 security. Once you're through, there's a walkway back to the gates you'll need.

    Don't use SUPER SHUTTLE. It goes around the airport 3 times before heading to destination. Takes FOREVER!
