    If ever you travel ask if it's a full flight at the ticket counter, chances are free bag check in. Thanks American!

    It looks dated, needs a big overhaul. If you don't have TSA pre approval, expect to do at least an hour in line.

    Delta terminal 5: there's a healthy-ish food stand near gate 54. Do it up.

    Curbside check-in rocks. It will save you a lot of time and headache here.

    The united lounge at terminal six (near gate 63) is smaller but nicer than the one over at terminal 7.

    Really, Delta Terminal? THIS is the most logical solution for baggage drop? 20 mins in line BEFORE the gate. #whyihateca

    60 minutes in front of your flight if you know what you're doing - 120 minutes if you don't. If you don't know what I'm talking about then it's 120 minutes.

    American Airlines Terminal needs to update their section with more power stations. #Flintstones to #Jetsons

    TSA considers vegemite to be a liquid. Put it in checked baggage or risk losing it at the checkpoint.

    Watch out if TSA checks your bag. They throw everything into a pile and when you tell them to repack the bag they continuously ask "ma'am are you sure you want me to repack your bag" so lazy...

    A maze to navigate if you're planning on moving between terminals. LAX should consider a shuttle between terminals.

    This is hands-down the worst airport in America. The traffic congestion getting in, the dilapidated terminals, the lack of amenities, the lack of acceptable connections between terminals;

    Don't take an uber here. You'll end up waiting more than 30 minutes for them to make their way from their parking lot to you. Better to take a cab.

    Huge ass airport with no moving walk ways. Prepare to walk your legs off if your connecting flight is 20 gates away.

    American Airlines gates 44 A-L are in a seperate building with only a vending machine. Get your food before riding the bus to the gate.

    LAX TSA is going to randomly put you thru the XRay machine. If you opt out theyre going to pat you down. Plan accordingly.
