    Not all the gates are connected behind security, so you may have to go through a second time during a layover.

    If you're late picking up kids and security is crazy long, the UM Sweep will bring kids to Baggage Claim.

    This airport is broken. If you connect to a flight at gate 1 or gate 2, prepare to miss it as you are forced to do security theatre again. #fail

    Red-eye flights are the best. No lines for anything, TSA officers are friendly.

    If you are flying to LAX via Alaska Air, make sure to checkin at the commuter terminal and not terminal 1.

    Terminal 1 - Eat before clear security. There are no decent restaurants in the gate 3 - 10 Rotunda

    If you're flying WN out of gate 1 or 2, you might be better off waiting a while to go through security. There's almost nothing to do once you're through.

    Looking to connect to the internet? The free WiFi service is not very reliable--difficult to connect and very slow.
