    If landing here close to 5, choose your immigration line wisely, shift changes happen at 5 and it is anything but seamless. You think this is something they would have figured by now.

    LAX International has become a high-end Westfield Shopping Mall... Or vice versa.

    It is much faster to walk from T2 to T3 than it is to take the shuttle.

    Give yourself two hours for a domestic to international transfer. It will be far and lines will be long.

    Virgin America and Continental are almost always my airlines, and flights are delayed quite often, so don't be surprised if yours is. Oh, and it gets chaotic in the afternoon.

    A sad and miserable airport. Airports like PDX invite you to linger and explore while awaiting your loved one or waiting for your flight. LAX encourages you to get the **** out one way or another.

    Whether you go to pick up someone or see someone off, drive up the Departures and park in Parking 3/4. People drop off and leave so the route is not crowded compared to arrivals. Just take elevator do

    If you’re getting dropped off at terminal five there a short cut road to your left that avoid most of the traffic around terminals 2 & 3

    Get a $39 Delta Sky Club day pass at the self service kiosk at gate 59. Scan your boarding pass, then look for the offer near the bottom of the screen.

    Don't fly with Delta! Especially if the weather is bad in LA. They where super unhelpful, and we were stranded in LAX without food, water, or any other concessions for 6 hours.

    If you're coming back internationally, expect to spend 2 hours clearing customs and checking bags back in... Not to mention possibly changing terminals. Make sure you have the extra layover time!

    TO be honest, I have very little good to say about LAX lately. Getting to terminals is horrible, the ride app pickup location is forever away, & you can’t even get a draft beer at the int’l terminal

    No trains for terminals transfer so for connections you need to walk or wait for white/blue buses in the outer road of the ground floor ;)

    When picking someone up who's arriving, make sure to tell him/her to wait on the ARRIVAL level (downstairs) and not DEPARTURES (upstairs). Apparently, not self-explanatory to everyone.

    Make sure you give yourself some time on Delta because they have two terminals and have to take a bus between.

    Make sure you have your front license plate if you park in the long term parking lots. Been ticketed by LA cops for not having it many times.

    Be aware TSA rules, prepare, organize your personal belongings. This will save you time and reduce stress.

    This is by far the dirtiest, smelliest and crappiest airport I have ever been in. The Tri state airport in Huntington Wva is 100% better than this giant port o potty. Get it together LA.

    It's big it's slow it's worth getting priority upgrade to avoid the lines, it has decent shopping but the gates can be a long walk. The quality of the terminal depends on the airline you fly though.

    The rental car return is usually pretty far from the airport so buffer an hour for traffic between return center and the airport during rush hour!

    Ack, definitely easy before you get shuttled to regional terminal. Food is ridiculous price, and not too nice to eat either
