    Don't eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a banana milkshake before your 6 hour trip from NYC to LAX.

    The wifi in the American Airlines terminal is no bueno!! Don't fall for purchasing the 1 hour plan. All you'll do is drain your battery & they don't have enough charging stations!

    Add 15-20 minutes of pad for shuttle wait time if you're parking in long term parking in either the LAX lots or other Parking Garages around the area.

    Got here at 6:30 am and the lines at United were long. Very busy but it took less than 15 minutes to go through. TSA lines were very short and took 5 minutes to go through.

    Instead of having friends fight thru the arriving flights traffic for a pick up, have your flyer go upstairs to departing flights level. Get them there.

    If your departure gate is listed as TBIT then you need to find your easy to the international terminal.

    If your flight departs sometime during the morning hours, make sure to get there VERY early. The TSA line is typically extremely busy.

    Terminal 6 offers very little vegetarian food after breakfast. Ruby's or @TheCoffeeBean are best bets

    If you're looking for car service to or from the airport try Betransported.com. They're very reasonably priced and nationwide.

    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

    If you have an iPod & put on the C & C music factory. It feels cool to do the running man through to your gate. #everybodydancenow.

    Things I've learned during a year of travel: Fly Delta, Frontier or Virgin. Avoid Spirit at all costs! It's worth the extra money for a solid, courteous airline. Read more

    Virgin Air is definitely the best domestic airline, hands down. Definitely the W of the skies.

    Immigration queue is 2 hour wait at a 7pm weekday arrival. Then you need to claim baggage, re check then go to the next gate. So 3 hour layover minimum.

    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!

    Wear heAdphones. The music in the airport will make you want to slit your wrists. Possibly most depressing soundtrack in the world.

    If flying Virgin America or Jet Blue, be sure to eat beforehand. Eatery options are limited. And don't expect to find an outlet to charge your items. Plan ahead.

    Unlike most sane and logical airports LAX shares the distinction (along with Kansas City) of not having terminals that connect.
