    Airplanes are the Greyhound buses of the sky - all of the despicable stench with none of the escape routes

    TSA at the pre-check at T6 may be the most unprofessional agents of all time, one supervisor even had a fit and attempted to help me miss my flight, sorry buddy, but I made it...

    No matter what airline your flying, be sure to pre-check in. Unless of course you have time to waste.

    the primary airport serving the Greater Los Angeles Area, the second-most populated metropolitan area in the United States.

    My experience hasn't been so terrible here. I think that if you plan ahead and give yourself enough time to go through security and get to your gate you'll be good. Terminal 3 food joints are lame.

    Avoid the backscatter machines and opt for the pat down instead. During the pat down, groan with pleasure and ask the agent to help work through the knots in upper back.

    If you can-fly in/out of Long Beach. Expect to wait half a lifetime for your luggage.

    Head just outside the airport to catch an uberX. They aren't allowed to drive up to the terminal for pickup.

    Remember, the person checking scanning machine can only see your genitals, not your face. So it's totally no big deal.

    I was only here for layover but the amount of walking I had to do to get to my connection flight was a little annoying. Plus a lot of construction going on.

    Terminal 1 has a Starbucks at the end as well as the one next to security, and it always has a shorter line.

    Huge airport, it is important to be aware of the gates you have to go to. Staff are not very nice in general, and at the pizza place they are very rude to foreigners

    Stay out of the American Eagle Terminal until just before your flight - it's like being in a crumbling east european soviet-era terminal.

    People say this airport confuses them - those people are dumb. It's in a U shape with clearly defined airlines at each terminal, if you get lost here...I don't even know
