Manolo WhatshisfaceNovember 21, 2014Get here EARLY!! Would rather wait a couple of hours than barley making it
Jaz Allen-CollinsFebruary 19, 2013Buy a book. I have found some of my favourite books in airport bookstores.
Fly Virgin! Best Airline in America 3 years in a row! Its an IPOD in the air! Their Main Cabin Select is like AA's First Class.
Heather HollidayFebruary 13, 2014Get here early!!! It's a very busy airport so you are going to need extra time.
United Level 4 TSA check in above ticket is shortest security line I've ever seen at LAX. Don't forget to remove your flip flops.
Welcome to LAX. Enjoy our lovely radioactive scanners and people with latex gloves that grope you for liquids. Enjoy your stay!
TSA Pre-Check is gold. Also, shortcuts to terminal 5 an 7 are in the left hand lane
Getmanski DennisFebruary 13, 2014According to the Airfrance Airlines, to fly to Europe you need to have a return ticket to the USA, or they can refuse your boarding, but one way ticket they still sell and at the check in they lie...
Despite the crumbling interior and exterior, the airport gets the job done.
cat tanakaSeptember 19, 2012Buy water from the vending machines. It's cheaper than buying it from the little newstands!
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)July 26, 2016Metro temporarily moved LAX FlyAway pickup/dropoff at Union Station near passenger drop-off/valet near Mozaic Apts in Union Station West
Donna BreukelmanJuly 23, 2013The only two good things about LAX were the Delta agent reprinted my misprinted departure timed boarding pass!! And the charging stations!!!! Still wont do layovers here again
Keep an eye out for TMZ and their celebrity photogs... They might just lead you to someone famous.
You know it's going to be away when they have someone announcing baggage claim the entire time and she says they won't even start dropping bags from any flight before 30 minutes.
Ivan ZimnukhovNovember 8, 2013Has free wifi(unlike JFK) and 24-hour coffee shops(unlike SMF). TSA and lines same as everywhere. No reason to bitch imo.
Keep your expectations low: LAX is the air traveler's equivalent of a third-world country. The only thing it needs to complete the gestalt is a few goats roaming the terminal.
Immigration queue is 2 hour wait at a 7pm weekday arrival. Then you need to claim baggage, re check then go to the next gate. So 3 hour layover minimum.
Don't be a greenhorn. Nobody likes waiting behind the person at security that has to go through the detector 7 times. Take your metal off!
Stop at In N Out Burger on S Sepulveda before your flight FTW.- cat tanakaSeptember 19, 2012Gate 65A is where you catch the bus to transfer over to the American Airlines departure lounges if you arrive ex Alaska Airlines. Just like all airports, it's not clearly marked.
Please move away from the xray to put on your shoes & belt. That way others can clear the area too! Thanks.
For scheduled lyft rides, they'll get called 5 minutes before your pickup window
The departures security line can get a bit heavy and messy at times. Staff are great though
DoubleTree by Hilton ManagerSeptember 22, 2011If you’re unable to select the middle seat when booking your flight, do not book that flight. The flight is most likely oversold which could make for an unwanted adventure when take-off time comes.
Have someone picking you up? Tell them to do so at DEPARTURES upstairs. Less traffic and confusion.
LAX will be under construction until the day the world ends. Food options are limited and TSA lines are always longer than your actual flight time. Basically, my home base airport sucks.
The self check-in with United is pretty cool but get ready to pay to check in your luggage.
LeslieJune 25, 2012Southwest ladies need to learn to count again. 3 times there were 28 ppl on the plane, then they found the 29th after the pilot counted....great mini pretzels though.
- Try to avoid the CPK in Terminal 1...not worth the hassle.
People always get lost, but they shouldn't. If you miss your terminal, just loop around again!
Don't be late to your flight because your having to much fun at the bar with ur friends lol
Sit at the bar and you can take advantage of the free wifi in the Air France Lounge above.
Honestly it can be confusing. Ask as many questions as possible
This airport needs a UI overhaul. Its chaoticness perfectly mirrors LA. Tips: United Premier checkin much better than regular; ParkAir Express on Century good place to park w/ frequent shuttles.
Christopher MoriniDecember 22, 2014I fly in. I fly out. That's all. I make a b-line for Santa Barbara from here every time.
