LAX needs a serious facelift. However the International Terminal is pretty good and Customs is SUPER fast and efficient...unlike JFK.
As for a room if you have two cats to get past security. Easier than taking them out with a lot of activity happening.
Stand as close to the baggage carousel as you can. Make sure no one else has a view of what's going on...
TeamTRI says If you're driving into LAX around Gate 1 and need to get to Gate 6 or 7 use the cut across rather than drive the whole horseshoe. Saves time and hassle and is usually not crowded.
The new farmers market in terminal 5 has yummy coffee plus great food!!
Southwest Airlines Terminal 10 feels like a morgue. You can take a dump in peace at the very secluded bathroom.
Plan ahead because the shuttle from parking to the terminals can take 45 minutes to an hour!!
When picking someone up who's arriving, make sure to tell him/her to wait on the ARRIVAL level (downstairs) and not DEPARTURES (upstairs). Apparently, not self-explanatory to everyone.
Make sure to drop by Marvin's complimentary show shine.
The Amazing RaceSeptember 14, 2011“The Amazing Race” trivia: Over the first 10 years, “The Amazing Race” has traveled approximately 586,000 miles total around the world!
The comfy lounge seats for Southwest are the best way to wait for your flight. They all have outlets too.
Get here earlier than usual for a red-eye flight. There may be less people flying, but there are also less people on staff. Only one security line open at midnight.
Steph SApril 30, 2011First experience with Virgin America and it has been a painless experience so far. Couldn't ask for a smoother check-in... With great piped music to boot! :-)
Daniel CortésMay 1, 2017Getting here as a foreign passenger will be very stressful for you, the attention is good but the waiting time is just too much.
Big airport, if transiting from an international flight make sure to have 2-3 hr of layover. Staff here are slow and queue is long.
Nicole GutierrezJanuary 17, 2014For a major airport, LAX blows. There is nothing to do here. Your choices for food and drinks are incredibly limited and the terminals have no decent shopping, just newsstands and candy stores!
AdamJuly 26, 2012Seating is sparse around gates. Way more people than seats available. Power outlets? You might be able to solve the US economy's issues in the time it will take you to find one.
Mobile check in is fast and easy and get there early!!
Don’t park here. Lyft in and out. Oh, you can also stop at In N Out while on your way to or from.

Kabeer Al-KabeerAugust 21, 2017Traffic Always jam You nead more than 35 min from last traffic lights to reach you terminal, and you need more time to reach terminal 5 or 6
Crowded. Take the left exit for Terminal 7 for a shortcut or to go down to arrivals. Watch out, the 105 Exit is on the far right.
- Jeff McLainOctober 28, 2010Pay attention, traffic changes fast and there are lots of crazy drivers. Look for 20 somethings carrying backpacks on their front; they are paparazzi- stick around you might see someone renown!
LaurenApril 26, 2012The Alaska section of Terminal 6 is loaded with outlets and comfy seats--definitely the best spot to spend a layover.
If you have a connecting flight with American Airlines and a very short lay over, don't worry all of the AA gates are close to each other.
Marco Aurélio RiosJune 29, 2013Get free rent cars shuttles at any arriving taxi area. Ps. Look for your company sign to get the right shuttle.
Lovely place. Good shops and food that won’t cost you the Earth
Free wifi is fine and security from early international flights that get here before 6 is a walk.
Convince airport officials that you're a celebrity then get them to escort you through the back way. It rocks. :)
when picking up, use the cell phone waiting lot off Sepulveda and 96. don't risk the ticket for parking at the curb.
LAX is fairly efficient as long as you're where you should be.
United departure parking structure #7 on 3rd floor ramp is quick way into the United gates- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)March 27, 2017[PIC] Moments like these are meant to be captured & remembered! #LAXmoments. c: miapiccio
On my way to Hong Kong, another Life Changing event. You should be here :)
Jay HaganOctober 2, 2010If you are flying Air NZ and have a long connecting flight def goto the VIP lounge! $55 all u can eat and drink, nice lounges and free wifi! Amazing!!
If you arrive during rush hour and didn't check a bag, have your ride pick you up at 'Departing' to beat the crumpness. Enjoy.
Want to be felt up by a stranger ??? The security here does a great job. Lol
CristianJune 29, 2014Free WiFi with good bandwidth in all Airport. Enough to make calls through skype without any interference.
Nick FloresAugust 6, 2013Be prepared for extra long lines. Baggage claim for Southwest Air and Airtran is always Baggage Claim carrousel #1 or #2 only.
- There should be a Starbucks before immigration :) make the wait worth it
Parking in Economy Lot C? Give yourself some extra time and prepare for a jam packed ride on the shuttle bus. Central terminal parking is expensive ($30/day), but oh so convenient.
There are underground tunnels that will get you to baggage claim and/or outside faster than walking through the terminals. Look for the escalators!
ROctober 13, 2012What's with the toilets, gaps so wide in the cubicles they may as well put the loo in the middle of the room for all to see. AWFULL
When traveling be considerate. Shower, dress well, smell good, be patience, BE KIND and smile. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!! :)
PopWrapped!March 12, 2013This airport isn't for the faint of heart. Be sure to give yourself PLENTY of time to get through security for morning/afternoon flights. Security can be insane.
