    No matter what airline your fly, make sure you're at the gate 45 minutes to an hour prior to departure. Doors close 10 minutes prior to departure. Airplanes don't wait for you, YOU wait for airplanes.

    Make sure you have a layover longer then one hour, you might have to go through security again and not even know it.

    Watch schedule changes, united will change a flight and your running down the hallway.

    AVOID. AT. ALL. COST. Decrepit, dirty, particularly unfriendly TSA staff, horrible traffic access. Favour any of the smaller airports in the region even if that adds driving time.

    I took yellow cab taxi and the driver gave me a false 20$ note for change. Be careful and check the change.

    Be prepared to eat McDonalds! There are a few restaurant options near gate 50B but McDonalds is the cheapest one.

    The Economy Lot C shuttle drivers are all d-bags who won't wait for running passengers and they're rude to the ones they do pick up.

    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.

    Flying into LAX? Take an escalator up one level to Departures to catch Uber/Lyft/Sidecar drivers that have just dropped someone off.

    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 need to park across from terminal 2 there is no entrance to the structure from the upper level. Procced to the lower level and park in structure 2A.

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

    Find the wine bar(s) and camp out. Service is slow as most who work there wish they didn't.

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

    Despite the horrible traffic, limited parking, poor vehicle access, it really is a nice airport that pumps out tons of domestic and international routes.
