- molly steensonJanuary 3, 2017If your flight is delayed, you'll begin to notice instrumentals of songs from the 80s & 90s like Hall & Oates "One on One" or The Cranberries "Dreams" & you won't be able to unhear them.Upvoted Feb 5
- Natalie LeMossJune 25, 2017Great little airport, easy to navigate and I love being able to be outdoors while waiting for flights.Upvoted Mar 11
- Might never fly into LAX again. Unless Im going to LA. haha! Love this airport. The best when you land from Chicago in the winter and you walk off the plane to summer. ❤️Upvoted Feb 2

- Magnus JernJune 11, 2016One of the coolest airports in the world (or hottest for that matter). Hang out in the gardens while you wait for your flight.

- Brian StraussApril 10, 2023The best airport in America? Nice looking. Easy to move through and get in and out of. The rental car facility is on-site and the whole place is about 5 mins from downtown.
- Louis SJune 3, 2013There is a great water fountain to refill any water bottles after you get through security. Go to your right and it is a short walk away. Super cold water and great pressure make all the difference.
- Great Airpot to fly from, if checking bags arrive at least 50m and without bags to check 30m as security is quick to pass through! Great airport and often non-stop flights to many destinations! xx

- Hector JuarezOctober 13, 2014You could almost vacation right here at the airport! Beautiful! Get a croissant from la brea bakery!
- Dave DelaneyMay 10, 2013Play Spot the Small Dog. The first person who spots a small dog has their cocktail purchased by their friend. Ready? Set? Go!

- Maritza SpitlerJanuary 26, 2012this airport feels more like a small campus on a quite summer day, the gates are enclosed, but still outdoors - get there with plenty of time and enjoy the sunshine!
