Island BruinMay 29, 2019Terminal 1 has bad layout. Upscale stores where people are not going to buy, which mean long walk between gates, fighting thru crowds.
This place is ALWAYS a fish market. ALWAYS. Come at least two hours before flight time. Foreigners, you have full permission to ogle.
Very simple to get around. Make sure to get there ahead of time and know the alternate routs as, roads leading to it are often temporarily shut off.
Motorcycle cops + baggage are super agro. Don't show up with a burnt out taillight and don't park curbside if passengers are still inside. If ticketed, beware made up add-on infractions. Not joking.
Wear shades through your entire experience here. The staff is much friendlier that way. Champaign Campaign.
If you need a ride bc you forgot book a car download the BeTransported app and name your own price for rides.
Stephaney HincyNovember 12, 2014Make sure you eat before you get here. Not a huge selection by the gates.
TSA Pre-check! Sign up, I love it, I no longer feel molested for traveling :)
Kathleen EllisJanuary 13, 2012Picking up my baby nephew!!! He is the cutest 3 little dude ever! Soooo excited his hanging out for a few days
It usually only takes eight minutes before you can tell which airport personnel are hooking up.
If you like apathy and/or contempt in every single possible way, you'll love lax.
Steven St JohnJune 3, 2012If you feel like flying spirit airlines, let a crackhead eat your face off instead. You'll thank me later.
Cody Wilson ForemanMay 18, 2012Am I the only one who gets bags checked, goes through security, and gets to the gate in like 35 minutes everytime? Haha
Why have you not signed up for TSA Pre-Check yet???
Man foursquare for BB took forever to load up the check in screen. I thought it froze so I did a batt pull. Just let it work and it'll come to the check in menu.
Get here early, as the security scanning line is RIDICULOUS!!!
don't love the airport but I love the destination it serves
The McDonalds on the 2nd floor of the Thomas Bradley Int'l Terminal is your best bet for food between 1& 4 a.m.
Flying United? You'll get to your destination quicker driving. regardless of the distance. #worstairlineever
Tara H.March 31, 2012Definitely get drunk during a layover...best way to pass the time and spend money you don't have
If you can help it, I'd recommend not traveling with a cat.
Terminal 4 and 5 have the worse options for food at any airport terminal I’ve ever traveled too. And nothing is quick!
Barry InciongJune 1, 2012Use parkon.com to get cheaper parking (about $10/day), though you prepay 10%.
Richard R.July 9, 2012I've been to a lot of airports and nowhere else were the TSA agents nicer or more pleasant. No yelling. Lots of chatting.
While you're waiting, put a good playlist on your iPod and watch the Asian tourists take pictures of the light-up towers.
The construction has completely screwed traffic. Buffer at least an extra hour just for traffic.
Maybe when the expansion and remodeling is complete it will be much better, but right now, oh dear.
If you get in late enough into terminal 6 the buses they say run between that and 4 actually don't so don't wait patiently like the sign says and walk out of security outside to 4. And no express lane
Philippa DunjayOctober 22, 2014Bring your own food. Terminal 2 has one small stand and everything is expensive. $3 for a small water, $6.50 for a fruit cup.
Paul SakyaMorgan LeeJanuary 17, 2013Be nice to Taiwanese passport holders please . Especially last name "Er- Not all USB charge ports are working - at most cases, there are easily to connect your own charger.
Terry SOctober 3, 2013Very few charging outlets at gates. Look for round charging stations between gates. 4 plugs each, a small table, and 2 seats.
GigiJanuary 5, 2018Gets worse every time I go. It’s an inexcusable dump and disorganized. How difficult is it to model an airport terminal after a leading airport like T5 LHR. USA is a time warp.
Matt BovaAugust 8, 2011Make sure you check flight status before picking friends up! Very few amenities for people waiting in baggage claim.
American terminal has limited food options. Eat before you get to the airport!
