Welcome to LAX, Rock star! Not a rock star? Then have some fun pretending while here, it might mentally help you get through the monotony of dealing with this airport. :-)
If flying virgin, upgrade your seat while checking in. $55 for main cabin select (free food, booze!!!, and movies and you skip security lines) when flying to Seattle. worth it.
Need to take Metro Rail? Hop on the "G" shuttle bus under the blue signs (LAX Shuttle & Airline Connections - arrivals level) for a free ride to the LA Metro Green line.
Pro Tip: After you come through security, collect your things and reassemble yourself at the nearby benches. Keep the flow going.
Ketan SampatMay 17, 2014Huge, crowded airport. They make you tag your own bags. Talk about making customers work and pay for doing the work!
David DerrickMay 29, 2014There is absolutely nothing to do in the international terminal. So...walk back outside to terminal 4...go to the lowest level...find The only 'nice' place to wait for a few hours...Starbucks!
Busy airport with good network of shuttle buses to all rental cars
What an incredible shitstain this airport is. Useless shuttles (all are for parking and employees - so get ready to walk for 30 minutes to your terminal through clouds of exhaust, weed, and urine).
If you're in a rush, the extra $20 to upgrade to business on Southwest is waaaaay worth it. You get to cut the security line, board first & get a free cocktail!
Terminal 3 has a ‘Dog Relief’ area after security. It’s a good place to sit outside and catch some sun between flights.
If you have a rental get to airport early to do curb side checkin , then go grab a bite to eat, tons of places on sepulveda, return the car and hop on shuttle. Food inside is expensive!
Don't wear a belt, come barefoot and buy your clothes when you arrive at your final destination. Saves time during check in, boarding and debarking.
Yasmin KhanApril 1, 2011Get there early and be old enough to grab a drink before you fly. The staff is infuriating, especially in United Airlines. Be sure to watch when you're flight boards b/c they don't always announce.
Charlie Atherley-WilsonMay 26, 2013When picking up someone park in the Taco Bell parking lot until you get their call from Baggage claim to avoid have to circle around the airport!
Laura FynMay 2, 2012You need to hit up In-N-Out Burger while you're here! Head right down the street for the best burger of your life :)
Terminal 2 is nice and fresh and offers many options for food and shopping.
Hernan CruzJune 24, 2019Arrive early (earlier than to most airports in the world), traffic will be a mess for the next years!
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)February 5, 2014US Airways is relocating from Terminal 1 to Terminal 3 beginning Feb.12 to better serve travelers. Stay up-to-date
For me there's no place like LAX. I'm pretty sure I have yet to see it all but it's very classy.
Daniel TewfikMarch 18, 2013I <3 LAX. An infographic on why you have to turn off your electronics during takeoff and landing (Read it before you stow your device away!). Read more
Mariya YakovenkoApril 26, 2016Everything is pretty much over priced and check in, security, and restaurant lines are very long. Ah, gotta love LA.
If arriving/departing at peak times, consider pickup/dropoff at opposite level (arrivals vs departures). #travelhack
yeah LAX sucks- If you aren't a platinum frequent flyer or in first or business class.... otherwise pretty, pretty nice!
In terminal 2? Head upstairs to the Delta Club and there's some nice seating on the landing.
Ivan SvetunkovJuly 1, 2018It's a poorly organised airport. It seems that people don't know anything about queuing theory and stochastic modelling. Otherwise, everything would be much more efficient.
If you're picking someone up, park in the central lot rather than trying to fight the traffic. It doesn't cost much and will save you a huge headache.
It never fails, it would seem Iron Man is in front of me at the security check point. Took this guy 6 time to make it through Dude, yes you have to take off your shoes. You don't know this by now.
Heres a tip, dont be an asshole. Get your stuff off the belt and MOVE. Domt stand right in the way and put you belt an shoes back on. Thats what the benches are for!
Magnus ModigAugust 3, 2018USB power outlets next to chairs is so Liw powered that they dont charge at all, it just keep the phone at the same level.
If you are flying out of the Delta Terminal, there may not be any restaurants near your gate.
If you're based in LA and travel Internationally 2 or more times a year-- sign up for Global Entry and save HOuRS in immigration when you return to the US
Terminal 4 has scarce charging areas, one sit-down restaurant, overall, not the best terminal for a long layover. At least there is a Starbucks. I recommend getting a day pass to the Admiral's Club.
Tom MAugust 5, 2011Check out
Much better international terminals. Still partially unoccupied but LAX can finally call itself a World Class airport!
Flying delta gates 50-68? You're in luck. Go to lemonade - it's like the whole foods prepared foods section. Delicious!
willams smithMay 11, 2012My friend, you have this power over me, this indescribable, undeniable, unmistakable power. You consume my mind. You invade my thoughts.
Currently adding enhancements and can be difficult to find the airlines
Alex StrausJuly 14, 2014If you're in the united terminal hit the Loteria for chiliquilies and some amazing tequila Ocho!!
When someone next to you complains more than once about the security line, turn around and remind them that there are worse things in life. Like people who complain about trivial things
Copa airlines check-in moved to terminal 3 without saying, but gates are in Tom Bradley where there is no preferred Star Alliance access
Andrea AceyOctober 27, 2011If you're flying out of terminal 4...get there early to grab the shuttle to your plane. The terminal is under construction and the shuttle will take you off site...don't miss it!
Get here earlier than you think you need to. Never know how long TSA security will take. Sometimes, the line stretches all the way down the lobby from one end to the other.
Klatch Coffee in UAL terminal is CLUTCH with best espresso in any domestic airport. Great service too.- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)December 17, 2013Gift-Finding Tip: Find L.A. teams sportswear gifts for him at Relay inside NewTBIT! #LAXGifts
LAX needs grassy areas in each of the terminals! So many people travel with dogs with no place to let them pee!!!- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)November 4, 2014Starting from December 3, 2014, Air New Zealand will switch terminals to Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT), no longer operating from Terminal 2.
Adriana PatinoSeptember 19, 2018This airport is huge! When connecting from an international flight make sure you have at least 2 hours to to go thru customs, immigration and the security check points.
