    Connections are reasonably accessible and the immigration control is greatly improved with the self service lines. Having said that, it has nothing on the transit hubs in Asia...

    Love the quick check in I totally forgot about the beverage rule. TSA got a bottle of AZ green tea and watermelon drink along with a bottle of water.

    Go to THE In N Out, get a double double, then go across the street to the grassy area and watch the planes as they land.

    Sign up for Global Entry to help getting through customs and immigration faster. Well worth the $100 and valid for five years, especially if when going through the madness of arrivals at TBIT!

    Seriously, just park your car offsite. It’s less hassle than waiting for a ride share or asking someone to pick you up.

    Take it from a lifelong Angeleno: Pay the $3 to park in the garages and meet your party at baggage. It will make getting out easier.

    LAX seems to always be under construction. Traffic is also super unpredictable once you get into the main loop. Best airport for flying into the west side of LA.

    LAX now offers free WiFi. However I constantly have to reset my phone to clear out setting so I can be reconnected. The Tom Bradley terminal has been renovated and it's clearly an upgraded experience

    Take the stairs to the lounges in T2, and you’ll find some respite away from the crowds just outside the lounges.

    Southwest Airlines Terminal 10 feels like a morgue. You can take a dump in peace at the very secluded bathroom.

    Learn the streets within the airport. If you're trying to get out of the airport from terminal one and go all the way around, you're missing a great shortcut!

    If you are going to South Bay by taxi be prepared for the angry taxi driver who wants the big fairs not the $20flat rate to the beach. Rumor is there is a airport shuttle to the green line station

    Southwest Airlines is the best here. Always easy to check-in and fly; got me on a crucial last minute flight when Virgin refused; and somehow located me to give me my iPad I left on a plane.

    Whatever your travel time to LAX, add another :20 to get to the actual terminal once on the roadway. Traffic is as bad in the airport as outside. Also if you a frequent traveler get CLEAR. Its GOLD.

    Make sure you do your shopping before you get to LAX. It has the most ridiculously small duty free shops on the world (in LA, would you believe). Also make sure you eat beforehand!

    I've seen quite a number of airports in my day and this is definitely one of the worst. Exiting the plane I end up in the same area where ppl board? WTF? Then I have to walk past dep. to bagage claim?
