    Wow! Through security in 2 mins.! Shoes stayed on, laptops & cell phones stayed in bags. Hope this is the new & improved TSA! ;-)

    Southwest Priority - they don't have a specific lane setup for checking baggage - but if you ask, they'll skip you to the front of the line. Skip through security line as well ;)

    Flying AA, leaving LAX? Check out the Admirals Club in Terminal 4 - they have private shower rooms that are PERFECT to freshen up before you fly to your New Year’s destination!

    At American, most flights board early, so be ready. Also, join my petition for more Terminal 4 improvements like more and faster eateries. Get on it LAX.

    When finding ground transit upon leaving, walk along the sidewalk close to the terminals until reaching the kind you need, then cross over to the p/u island. Don't walk from island to island.

    If you are outbound from the #USA, bring a mask. Particle counts here are high. If returning from #Beijing or #Taipei, enjoy the #AirQuality!

    The lines are crazy long, but they also move pretty fast. The security folks have it down to a science. You never know though, I'd still get here 2 hrs before your flight.

    If you're departing, ask the driver of the ride share to drop you at arriving, then take the elevator up. It saves time.

    If you're flying American and have status, skip the crowd and head to the American Premiere entrance.

    If you have an American Express platinum card, head to the sky lounge and grab yourself a drink. Great place to get a snack and wifi. Best when free.

    Where fast draw track suits with a Speedo underneath to entertain and amaze TSA, they're gonna see it all anyway. Might as well make it a show!

    Free WiFi, not much seating in the holding area at gates 61 & 63, make sure to come early to this gate if you care to sit comfortably.

    Total chaos if you're picking up someone or being dropped off. Security isn't as tight as it is in other airports. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

    If you are picking somone up after 8pm, have them come up to the Departure level. It won't be as busy since many flights arrive after 8 pm.

    The international terminal (after immigration) has been refurbished and looks great. Lots of high end stores e.g. Gucci, Boss, etc.

    Mind your booking details! We were told traffic would be bad, so get there early. We were told TSA lines would be bad, so get there early. All well and good except the ticket counter isn't open.

    Bring a soft sided bag you can throw your carry on, your laptop & everything in your pockets into before you get in the TSA line.

    If you are flying domestic, have just a carry on and already have your boarding pass, getting here an hour and 15 mins before take off is just about right during off peak times.

    If you're here for a 6am flight, and like me, you like soup for breakfast, CPK starts serving soup at 5am (2 vegetarian options too).

    Why be stressed by the traffic? Wait at the Cell Phone Waiting Lot (W. 96th St by parking lot C) for your passengers to call you when they arrive. Or they can take the "C" Shuttle to meet you there.

    If you're on a long layover, Encounters is the best place to wait it out. Barbarella-style 70's decor with a view of the runways makes you feel like the swinging jet-setter you are.

    Cheapest Parking: Fox Auto Park; Worst Terminal: Frontier Gates 50-59; Best Auto Rental: Enterprise, most places at LAX smell like a fart or feet.

    If you can, fly American Airlines. Relatively a breeze checking in and somewhat organized. As for LAX, what can I say, they're a work in progress 😎

    Long flight? Peanuts are okay, but bringing a filling, healthy snack like almonds or fruit will keep you tied over until your destination. For more travel tips and fun, follow @DoubleTree on Twitter!

    If you have to use the restroom, hold it until you get to your next city. Or find a crack den... It will be cleaner.

    Always super busy. Luckily there are outlets around the waiting areas of the terminals in case you need to charge your phone. Try food at a place you've never heard of, some of it is good

    The traffic coming in can be really easy or crazy backed up! Use Waze or another traffic app and plan your drive accordingly.
