Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)October 11, 2016[PIC] Designated smoking areas outside & away from terminal doors are available. Follow orange signs. #LAX101
- If you are flying United, you should join TSA's precheck program first. Allows you to breeze through security as you don't have to remove your shoes, laptop or liquids. Amazing!
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)May 24, 2016The new @grabmobileapp food app just launched! Save time by placing & pre-paying for pick-up orders on your way through terminals!
FlightCenter.comDecember 30, 2011TSA TIP #4 When loading your belongings onto the x-ray belts load them in an order to help expedite at the other end. THINK, (a) suit case first, (b) laptop bags/purse, & (c) your shoe & belts tray.
Elaine P.January 11, 2019One of the best airports in the world, you can find everything you want to eat or shop.
Bring a baby and you not only get priority boarding but cuts to the front in the security line! Send inquiries for baby rentals to @samproof use this code for 10% off: #LAXBABY
Marc Andre RoyMay 7, 2019New terminal 6 for United Airlines express is awesome! Can’t wait for the rest of the LAX facelift!
- FlightCenter.comDecember 30, 2011TSA TIP #5 Once through the x-ray machines take your belongings (trays) off the belts & get re-packed & dressed in the areas designated for this rather than holding up the lines at the x-ray machines.
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)July 16, 2014The LAX FlyAway from Santa Monica to LAX is running! The nonstop bus service is convenient & economical ($8 one-way)! Schedule: http://www.lawa.org/welcome_lax.aspx?id=10086

Uber and Lyft pickup is on the second floor — look for the signs and book early.- FlightCenter.comDecember 30, 2011TSA TIP #1: Before getting to the screening check points clean out your clothing pockets as well as any metals/jewelry etcetera and put them into your carryon bags (or jacket pockets) ahead of time.
LAX is changing for the better but still has long way to go. I've never had too much of a wait for TSA or immigration/customs. The main problem is the traffic getting to it. Avoid T3 and T6.
Landing in LAX from an international flight with checked bags? You'll need to go through US customs here retrieve your bags and recheck them for connecting flights. Get Global Entry and cruise through
RanimAugust 6, 2018It has wide range of brands - gift shop and make sure you buy your things at least 1hr Bedor your trip.- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)March 7, 2017[PIC] Be in the know! Smoking patio is now located beyond passenger security screening on north side TBIT. #LAX101
Tee DJuly 3, 2017Clean family restrooms. Nursing rooms available but on high demand so make sure to get in there before your baby becomes hungry!- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)February 15, 2017[PIC] Enjoy yummy GRB Burger at Golden Road Brew's Point The Way Café in T6 before travels! #LAXeats c: onemorebiteblog
Make sure u budget extra time for arriving to your terminal. Google maps only calculates the time to get to the airport itself.
For wifi choose LAX-WiFi and open in Safari. Watch a 30-sec ad from one of the sponsors (mine was Ford) and you're good to go
DoubleTree by HiltonAugust 7, 2013Come by to visit the El Segundo Museum of Art. With only 2,000 square feet of exhibit space, they showcase art works from all over the globe.
Don’t expect to get anywhere fast. You need to take a shuttle bus (of varying frequencies) to get anywhere upon arrival… whether it’s rideshare, public transport, or rental cars. 👎
Allow yourself plenty of time due to traffic entering the airport so you are not to miss your flight!
Whenever I fly out, I specifically wear my studded booty shorts and lots of massage oil all over my body to cause stress at TSA. Guaranteed enhanced pat down, if you enjoy that sort of thing! ;)
Great airport, easy to move through security quickly. Food is overpriced, but fairly efficient place to travel through.
Auntie Anne’s Pretzels located in Southwest Airlines terminal. One of my favs…grab a pretzel with a side of cheese
Michael McQuayFebruary 12, 2015Nice airport not too crowded and plenty of stuff to do inside the terminal. 👍👍👍
Matt DrewMarch 15, 2012Upgrade if you've got a long layover. It's more than worth it for access to the VIP lounge and your flight will be so much more comfortable.
All of the terminals have made big improvements for food/drink options and ambiance. Transportation is still a disaster. Grab and Uber or lyft from the departures level- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)December 9, 2013LAX 101: Traveling with Fluffy and Fido this holiday season? Animal Relief Stations are conveniently located outside between terminals
WorldbizDecember 30, 2016Huge! upgraded Tom Bradley Int Terminal is more modern & organized now. Rampang flight cancellations/delays esp during hols. Allow extra time to transfer between terminals
If you have an early flight, 5am our earlier, the TSA preapproved section is not open.. You can show your boarding pass and not take off your shoes, but laptop/tablets have to come out. Now u know.
Natalie WocheleOctober 6, 2014I've been through a number of airports and LAX is by far the worst...limited free Wifi and no outlets. If you have a connection make sure your phones/tablets/laptops are at full battery...or else...
MiramaxApril 2, 2012You're on Jackie Brown's turf! The opening scene was shot right here. If you're arriving, look for the tiled walls on the walkway to the main terminal & hum Bobby Womack's "Across 110th Street."
Plenty of food options and coffee. Airport is under construction in some areas but it’s pretty efficient. Many flight options too!
Nikesh MistryMarch 4, 2022If you're getting a taxi or an uber / lyft, walk 5 mins down to LAX-IT. You'll save about $25+ by just doing that.
If you decide to skip the body scanner, reenact meg ryan's dining moaning from 'Sleepless in Seattle' while getting the pat down. Keeps things fun & interesting :-)
My least favorite airport for international connections, up there with CDG for poor connecting experience, but without the reward of good amenities.
Make sure you plan enough time when you are in transit! In Terminal 5, I took a walk in the most dreadful empty corridor (which seemed to be a 30 min walk), to get to the baggage claim. 🚶
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)February 22, 2017[PIC] Nothing like a refreshing fresh-squeezed lemonade before your flight! Find at T5. #LAXeats c: xoxo_susel
Ariel HermanJuly 9, 2017In true LA fashion, the traffic at the airport can be horrendous so budget that into your timing. Also the terminals here aren't connected so make sure you know which terminal your flight leaves from.
There are lounge chairs that are decent for napping near the 4th floor airline lounges in terminal 2. They're outside of the lounges so you don't need access to get to them.
Share video and photos from your travel experiences with us on DTour. You have a chance at winning a stay with DoubleTree. Don't forget to check out the quaint town of El Segundo minutes south of LAX.
MuratMarch 30, 2015Very big, but passanger friendly airport, where the airlines shared the terminals, and this makes your life easy. However, not too much DutyFree or food court.- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)March 23, 2017[PIC] Delta moving May 12 from T5 to T2/T3. Other airlines swapping terminals too. Contact airlines & http://www.laxishappening.com/relocation.aspx
Everything is great here just make sure to give yourself about an hour to get through tsa. I love the bars
