I always take a Benadryl a half hour before I fly so I can sleep/nap through long flights... It also makes me not care as much about turbulence.
If you can, avoid the guys outside who offer to bring your bags to your check in. They make fun of you if you don't tip 20 bucks
Liza PApril 10, 2017LAX is a ridiculous clusterf*ck. Huge, jammed with traffic, impossible to get around.
Large & very crowded airport, but a lil bit messy :) nice been here ♥
Unlike Midway airport, if you hear the "moving sidewalk" at LAX it's due to an earthquake. Stay calm it will be over in second.
If you're picking someone up at LAX, don't waste money by driving around in circles or parking. Wait at the Cell Phone Parking Lot (it's free!) until your party calls you that they're ready.
Hopefully you've arrived early. If so, park yourself at the airport bar for lots of pre-flight drinking. That's where you'll find me!
Don't eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a banana milkshake before your 6 hour trip from NYC to LAX.
Busiest airport ever so be prepared for tons of traffic
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!

Ryan ThompsonOctober 2, 2011If you have an iPod & put on the C & C music factory. It feels cool to do the running man through to your gate. #everybodydancenow.
I'm a #LA #flightattendant and can say #LAX is THE 2nd WORST airport in The States. Get the construction finished and tell #TSA to STOP yelling @ people & do their stupid job.
Beken MeehDecember 30, 2011Every thing is expensive here. Alwaya bring ur own drink n sandwich if u hungry or thirsty. To save ur $$$$ ^_^
Always bring lots of tequila shot mini bottles with you or you might lose your temper with the 18,000 egos working here.
If arriving here with a checked bag, it's not so fast. So, go to the Admirals Club and have a drink, then proceed to bag claim at a leisurely pace. Problem solved.
Send a text to your spouse telling them you miss them and can't wait to come home
William Colley JrMarch 2, 2012Unlike most sane and logical airports LAX shares the distinction (along with Kansas City) of not having terminals that connect.
Kyunghun ChoDecember 17, 2013DUTY FREE Store has moved inside. Restaurants also too. There is iStore without TAX!
Despite recent events, the check-in and security process was smooth and timely.
Kate HughesApril 24, 2013get here early- and dont check your bags. check in line PLUS security line will take you HOURS.
Don't buy any drinks if you are transferring terminals for a connecting flight, they're not connected and you'll have to go through TSA again at your final terminal
Flagship lounge for AA in terminal 4 is a step up from other admirals clubs I've been to.
Opt out of the body scanners! Instead of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on this invasive harmful scanner, let's replace them with dogs! More intimidating, cheaper and more effective
Driving here can be hectic but it's a pretty easy going airport overall.
Chocolate is expensive here.., much more better buy souvenir in hollywood., and the best thing is possible to bargain :-)
Best flight ever! Make sure you look outside for the Hollywood sign! ;)
Guh. This place is huge. Allow more time than at other airports for transfers.
If this is rare, I'd hate to see what killed is. From the restaurant across gate 52 in delta terminal.
Matt ArmstrongNovember 19, 2012I get tired of being asked for autographs here... Everyone wants the person they are next too, to be famous...
Virgin Air is definitely the best domestic airline, hands down. Definitely the W of the skies.

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- Wait until you get to your gate to make a seat change or upgrade. More flexible and cheaper. ;-)
Terminal 6 offers very little vegetarian food after breakfast. Ruby's or @TheCoffeeBean are best bets
Despite the crumbling interior and exterior, the airport gets the job done.
Smiling at the other passengers and at airport usually helps to set a positive tone for your experience at LAX. Try it!
if you have time to kill check out the observation deck on top of the theme building
E.J MartinezFebruary 9, 2018It’s better than being back home in Chicago. Look at all the beauty out here.
Diane GeeJanuary 21, 2013Well the lady that checked my bag into delta airlines was just downright rude so be careful and don't give the attitude back otherwise your in for a treat at security.. But security is very very nice!
James AstonOctober 3, 2019Not much is good here. I here flew from Changi Airport Singapore rated by many as the best airport in the world. I’d expect LAX to be rated in the lower half. It’s poorly designed and managed.
Budget plenty of time to check bags and go through security. Even if you are Delta Gold. Or pay a sky cap!
Give yourself plenty of time to get here. Traffic always a cluster!
After a long flight of sixteen hours finally I reached Los Angeles
