    I feel safe knowing if a gate door 3 kHz alarm sounds, it can take 15 min+ for the police to respond #safety #terribleresponse

    Gate 9 is so quiet and peaceful. Wow. Go here to get a break from the hectic airport background noise.

    Never had any problems frying out of Terminal 1. Make sure you allow yourself extra time to get through security. Lines can get long quick.

    The security lines can look long at peak times but they tend to move fast.

    Einstein Bros is the most economical food option available. But they are often out of items.

    Use the 2 hour rule!!! I cannot stress this enough people. Especially if you're renting a car. And use any other security check other than the one directly by terminal 1.

    Lines vary widely from 1 hour to no wait, nearly impossible to predict. Either spring for bus select or get here early. Even tears and babies don't help speed up the process if the line is endless

    Use the TSA checkpoint in Terminal 1.5, at the far left end. It's empty all day.

    Preferred line is always fairly fast. Tack right for security line after ID check as they are shorter although they appear longer.

    Pays to upgrade if you're running close on time. The lines for Southwest, especially in the morning, can be a disaster :(

    Hope you like spending a bunch of money on food - low cost options do not exist here, nor do places to sit with tables (unless in pricey restaurants)

    TSA set up needs improvement. Long line reminds me of McCarran in Vegas but they entertain with videos. Southwest, please prove set up

    Allow at least 20 minutes to clear TSA. It seems to take twice as long to clear TSA @SouthwestAir vs. @AmericanAir at Terminal 4 @LAX_Official

    Avoid Terminal 1 for any early morning flights. Security line is longer than The Odyssey.
