    For a healthy treat while in Terminal 1 LAX, enjoy Pinkberry frozen yogurt. Blueberry and Granola toppings make an awesome combo!

    Things I've learned during a year of travel: Fly Delta, Frontier or Virgin. Avoid Spirit at all costs! It's worth the extra money for a solid, courteous airline. Read more

    If your flight departs sometime during the morning hours, make sure to get there VERY early. The TSA line is typically extremely busy.

    Instead of having friends fight thru the arriving flights traffic for a pick up, have your flyer go upstairs to departing flights level. Get them there.

    If your departure gate is listed as TBIT then you need to find your easy to the international terminal.

    Got here at 6:30 am and the lines at United were long. Very busy but it took less than 15 minutes to go through. TSA lines were very short and took 5 minutes to go through.

    Opt out of the body scanners! Instead of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on this invasive harmful scanner, let's replace them with dogs! More intimidating, cheaper and more effective

    Busy, busy airport. If you’re coming from the SFV, assume it’ll take at least an hour to get here

    Terminal 6 offers very little vegetarian food after breakfast. Ruby's or @TheCoffeeBean are best bets

    Buy water from the vending machines. They are $2.00 less than at the News Stands or snack bars. $1.50 vs $3.49.

    If you're looking for car service to or from the airport try Betransported.com. They're very reasonably priced and nationwide.

    If you have an iPod & put on the C & C music factory. It feels cool to do the running man through to your gate. #everybodydancenow.

    Always bring lots of tequila shot mini bottles with you or you might lose your temper with the 18,000 egos working here.

    Wear heAdphones. The music in the airport will make you want to slit your wrists. Possibly most depressing soundtrack in the world.

    Virgin Air is definitely the best domestic airline, hands down. Definitely the W of the skies.

    If flying Virgin America or Jet Blue, be sure to eat beforehand. Eatery options are limited. And don't expect to find an outlet to charge your items. Plan ahead.

    Hopefully you've arrived early. If so, park yourself at the airport bar for lots of pre-flight drinking. That's where you'll find me!

    If you hate yourself arrive really early at LAX so that you can experience extra time in hell that just can't be enjoyed anywhere else on earth.

    Unlike most sane and logical airports LAX shares the distinction (along with Kansas City) of not having terminals that connect.

    Smiling at the other passengers and at airport usually helps to set a positive tone for your experience at LAX. Try it!

    To avoid standing in a huge baggage drop line just go to special service line and say you were unable to check in using self-service machine. Profit! (Works for Delta)

    Caution - Air Berlin business class - really uncomfortable seats in airbus 330. They do not lie down flat - lots of legroom though in the first row
