    When flying out from lax, always arrive two hours before departure. The lines at lax can be extremely unpleasant.

    Don't eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a banana milkshake before your 6 hour trip from NYC to LAX.

    The line of people waiting for a cab at midnight was wrapping around the block and the supershuttle driver directed a poor man to the wrong car "to have fun".

    There are some outlets behind seats near wall at terminals. If you are not charging something, please try to avoid taking up seats near charging centers. Thank you.

    Is it too much to expect people to wear clean cloths n these crowded buses? I am sandwiched between two of the funkiest men I've ever smelt, eye opening!

    Delta requires you to drop checked bags at terminal 2. You’ll need to figure this into your departure plans.

    If your AA departs from gate 52(any letter), be aware that you’ll need to take a bus to another mini terminal.

    It's an airport. You just need to know how to get through all the traffic to make it a quick pick up or drop off.

    If you're picking someone up at LAX, don't waste money by driving around in circles or parking. Wait at the Cell Phone Parking Lot (it's free!) until your party calls you that they're ready.

    The new Tom Bradley is very nice, except bad ventilation from the restaurants. I dislike having food smell on my clothes especially when I did not dine at such location.

    Flew Southwest, got to airport at 3:10 pm, flight departed 4:00 pm. Made it through security, had time for a drink and the plane left on time. Very impressed!

    If you're picking someone up and arrive early, theres some secret parking on the side of the roads that go through the middle of the airport.

    If arriving here with a checked bag, it's not so fast. So, go to the Admirals Club and have a drink, then proceed to bag claim at a leisurely pace. Problem solved.

    If you are stinky from travel, go spray cologne / purfume from the Duty Free store samples. Your stench will be more pleasant.

    Best way to get out of LAX is the FLYAWAY bus to Union Station and then back for your flight the same way.

    The problem with LAX is you never know how long its going to take. You might breeze through security in 15 min. It might also take 3 hours.

    Unlike Midway airport, if you hear the "moving sidewalk" at LAX it's due to an earthquake. Stay calm it will be over in second.

    If you can, avoid the guys outside who offer to bring your bags to your check in. They make fun of you if you don't tip 20 bucks

    Spirit airline sucks but def cheap. Sometimes $29 one way to Vegas. Check spirit airlines flight status before u depart to see if its delayed.

    The wifi in the American Airlines terminal is no bueno!! Don't fall for purchasing the 1 hour plan. All you'll do is drain your battery & they don't have enough charging stations!

    Very easy to navigate and well signed, although the airport is quite busy. Immigration is also quite slow

    For an airport so important, moving around is not very easy; the eateries are difficult to find, and some of the staff was not very helpful.

    Add 15-20 minutes of pad for shuttle wait time if you're parking in long term parking in either the LAX lots or other Parking Garages around the area.

    Compared to other airports around the area, LAX offers much cheaper options (mostly thanks to Spirit) which I appreciate. Traffic is always awful though & not much to do inside airport
