    Opt out of the TSA X-ray machine and they'll treat you to a nice little back of the hand job.

    Don't forget your headset and some good music, LAX is continuously playing music that melts your brain. One of the worst airports I've been too with Abu Dhabi...

    The US Air terminal has crappy places to relax and have a beer. Gordon Biersch has good beer but bad atmosphere.

    I've flown into & out of LAX all my life. Today, I'm taking a one way flight out of here, for good. Good luck Angelinos!

    Do a SpeedTest and see what kind of speeds you get in the terminals. Then..browse online! Read more

    If you are here on a long-ish layover, manhattan beach is only 15 mins away and a much better place to kill time than LAX.

    This place is a hellpit. The check in systems for most of the airlines are automated and the attendants are of no help and extremely rude. Get in and out as soon as you can.

    It has no soul in decoration or function. You'd think they could have tried to make it more Hollywood style, but no...

    Don't tell your ride to pick you up for at least 45 minutes after you land. LAX had the worst baggage service in the world. LAPD, you wonder why there are so many cars waiting at the curb?!

    If you're in terminal 1, go to Pinkberry frozen yogurt. It will turn your day around.

    Delta Baggage claim is a lil dusty due to construction, otherwise folks were really nice.

    Any way we can get this airport completely revamped. Takes forever to get in and out of this place. I would think the cost of jet fuel alone that would be saved could pay for the rebuild.

    The best part of this airport is leaving it behind. Horrible floor plans, rude TSA, not enough seating, people laying in the hallways and sprawled across the floors, and not enough restaurants.

    If you're picking someone up curbside, tell them to navigate their way to the "Departure" instead of "Arrival". It's almost never crowded and the traffic cops aren't as plenty, nor pushy.

    If your carrier is American Eagle and you have a couple of hours to wait. Hang out on terminal 4 for a while. There is nothing at gate 44.

    LAX is a massive time suck, so get here early and have some cocktails and Xanax to make the flight a good one!

    Wall charging units need to be fixed. Not all work so u might need to search further from the gate

    AA is terrible, also this terminal doesnt have enough charging stations and outlets. So u might as well bring extra batteries because u'll find yourself waiting in line to charge ur phone

    The construction has completely screwed traffic. Buffer at least an extra hour just for traffic.
