    Hope you don't have to change terminals when connecting - it's an awful experience! And you get to go through security again. Epic fail, LAX.

    Be advised. Handicapped parking is not free in the sort term lots at LAX. I don't even know if that is legal, but there you have it.

    Be careful, the seating by the bag claim area will give you major swamp butt if you sit too long.

    Get there early, when I was flying back to NY we had to wait over 45 minutes to go through security. By that point, we had to run to our flight.

    Arriving and waiting for my pickup was intense. So many people milling around but the security force kept things in order. Departing from there wasn't too difficult. Lines weren't terribly at 4pm.

    This is the busiest airport in the US, so you have to take it with a bit of patience... still, flights are usually on time, and most terminals have a decent food selection. Non-stop to everywhere!
