Mohammed AlrabahJune 4, 2016Best terminal at LA Airport. Clean, airy and nice open space. Lots of restaurants and other stores options beyond the security check.
The best food is in the Great Hall. Nice big lounges to eat, relax, and surf the wifi. Panda Express too, never go wrong! Also, the sushi bar carries onigiri rice balls.Upvoted 15 hours ago
Sandra KallmeyerMarch 31, 2014Vegans: eat before you go here. If you haven't: Border Grill in the food court has guacamole and a Mexican salad that should be vegan. They also have Corona Light and power outlets at the bar.Upvoted Mar 22
Q ♡August 25, 2015You're gonna hate the arrival terminal but the departure terminal looks so fresh and classy! It's spacious, airy and organized. Offers you free wifi and sockets for your electronic devices too.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Matt Ta-MinOctober 1, 2018Architecturally I really like this airport, big, airy, open with an interesting 'swooping' roof. But if I rate the service or shopping options it definitely comes behind other international airports.
David AbitbolFebruary 27, 2013Two free wifi SSIDs. Connect then open a browser window. If one is slow then try the other. A bit threadbare but all is forgiven because of the free wifi!
Jose Antonio Tena SendraNovember 27, 2015Best terminal in LAX, not much to say. Great retail, great restaurants, quick & easy immigration. The new TBIT was a very much welcome addition to LAX.- Matt Ta-MinOctober 1, 2018They've created 'priority' queues for the elderly and those travelling with kids, but I really don't think these are shorter or move any faster than the normal queues. Pretty pointless really.
Eve LandisFebruary 23, 2012I know that TSA staff check us for body scan but stopping you to be asked where you going with a smile is annoying when I know that's nit part of their job !
BestTravellerJuly 18, 2022Very huge airport. Go to information desk if you dont know your route. There are shuttles between car rental offices and terminals. Friendly security control with a dog :). Free wifi available.
The Fred Segal boutique in the Bradley Terminal is a fantastic place to buy gifts if you’re flying to family or friends and need something last minute.
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)September 17, 2013At the gate area, 47% of the seats have electrical outlets underneath them, so you can put the finishing touches on your deck or recharge your smartphone, tablet or laptop before you board.
Michael MorganApril 7, 2023Very nice terminal! I was so impressed by all of the options: book store, P.F. Chang’s, Starbucks, high end shopping, dessert shops, Santa Monica Brewery, you name it! It also felt not crowded
Tina GlickmanMarch 28, 2019Getting here felt sketch - a shuttle that arrived at an abandoned feeling terminal, felt like the start to a horror movie. However, once you get inside and past that mess, the terminal is gorgeous.- Lisa GMay 3, 2014I can't believe how much this airport has improved departure side: decent shopping, an actual food court and holy Toledo Batman - there's free WIFI!!!
Nice terminal specially after it got renovated. Nice boutique shops and restaurants
Martin BarnesNovember 15, 2016Finally a fantastic terminal in America! Great wifi, great choice of restaurants with great wine selections.
Gets super crowded. The wifi doesn't work well, and the LTE stops working since there's so many people. Other than that, it's a good terminal. Lots of food variety, and stores to browse.
Tom Bradley International Terminal has changed a lot since most of these reviews. The recent remodeling has done the terminal some justice. It's looking more and more like a world class terminal.
Mohammed Abu HajarFebruary 12, 2017here @flyLAXairport #losangelesairport Carte here cost $ 5 one of the expensive in the world, be ready with your change or bull ur bags- It's spacious and airy, compared to a couple of years ago. The redevelopment is a great success!
Anton PerreauJanuary 9, 2017Find where your gate is FIRST - then look for food nearby, that way, you can get to your gate when it's just boarding without a rush.
- The redevelopment of TBIT is incredible! It's spacious, airy, and has SHOPS! Arrival is much improved also (compared to 2014 and prior).
Saud AlthaniSeptember 4, 2019For Every Story there is an ending, in Patience Beauty prospers, when you think there is nothing else to it, your struck by a new life line. I wish You a happy life you’ve made 🇺🇸 special.
As of 1-Nov-2017 they have opened a TSA PreCheck entrance on left set of elevators.
Lee GivensJuly 30, 2023No LAX luggage storage at the terminal but you can go@to the back of the terminal, before security to grab food at the food court or Planet Hollywood. Have patience, service can be slow.
Simon BrownApril 8, 2013This is one of my least favourite places in the world. There's nearly zero shopping inside the security boundaries and the queues are long.Upvoted Mar 24
An absolutely gorgeous world-class terminal after the renovation. Bravo, LAX.
Aniruddha MallikMay 6, 2023Nice airport but getting in and out is a nightmare! Traffic is crazy so make sure you keep ample time as buffer.
Since a previous remodel, the international terminal is more like a mall than an airport terminal. Plenty of shopping and food choices.
Los AngelesSeptember 11, 2013At the gate area, 47% of the seats have electrical outlets underneath them, so you can put the finishing touches on your deck or recharge your smartphone, tablet or laptop before you board.
William PomerantzFebruary 27, 2019At least as of Feb 2019, some domestic flights on American are departing out of this terminal—even though the LAX map indicates American flights are all out of terminals 4 and 5.
Juan Carlos OroscoMay 18, 2018Pass security first! After that enjoy the food court. Go early because it’s a long line !
Scott ThornMay 27, 2018To avoid long customs line apply for Global Entry. Takes about three months to complete.
Get your excercise on and walk end to end, or enjoy free drinks at the DFW bar during certain hours of the day!
If you can connect to the WiFi, then download the CBP Mobile Passport app and submit your customs form quicker!
- Los AngelesSeptember 11, 2013Catch up on social media or work on your next presentation thanks to the outlets located underneath 47% of the boarding gate seats.
Dave WilsonJuly 30, 2013The allegedly free WiFi requires you to "watch a short message from one of our sponsors". Said message doesn't want to play on an iPad so I guess mobile device users are out of luck.
Stanley EL KomalaApril 21, 2018If you need to smoke before international departure flights @ TBIT, go to food court area, find the Umami Burger and past restrooms, turn left...
Nihal SolomonJuly 14, 2013If you are picking someone up especially in the evenings, it's easier to pick them up from Departures. It's not as crowded!
Monica ChristoffelsDecember 8, 2014plenty of couches, cushy chairs and outlets behind TUMI, Victoria's Secret and the stores right before the North Concourse.
Kerry SnyderJuly 31, 2016Keep an eye peeled for the currency exchange machine with the Union Jack sticker on it. Prints Euros, password is #Brexit- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)September 17, 2013Catch up on social media or work on your next presentation thanks to the outlets located underneath 47% of the boarding gate seats.
After the renovation, this airport now does deserve the world class status like it should.
