    Flying in and out of LAX offers me the pleasure of learning that most government employees aren't very happy. See for yourself!

    Motorcycle cops + baggage are super agro. Don't show up with a burnt out taillight and don't park curbside if passengers are still inside. If ticketed, beware made up add-on infractions. Not joking.

    Very simple to get around. Make sure to get there ahead of time and know the alternate routs as, roads leading to it are often temporarily shut off.

    Wear shades through your entire experience here. The staff is much friendlier that way. Champaign Campaign.

    This place is ALWAYS a fish market. ALWAYS. Come at least two hours before flight time. Foreigners, you have full permission to ogle.

    Make sure you eat before you get here. Not a huge selection by the gates.

    Terminal 1 has bad layout. Upscale stores where people are not going to buy, which mean long walk between gates, fighting thru crowds.

    Man foursquare for BB took forever to load up the check in screen. I thought it froze so I did a batt pull. Just let it work and it'll come to the check in menu.

    The McDonalds on the 2nd floor of the Thomas Bradley Int'l Terminal is your best bet for food between 1& 4 a.m.

    While you're waiting, put a good playlist on your iPod and watch the Asian tourists take pictures of the light-up towers.

    Terminal 4 and 5 have the worse options for food at any airport terminal I’ve ever traveled too. And nothing is quick!

    Use parkon.com to get cheaper parking (about $10/day), though you prepay 10%.

    The construction has completely screwed traffic. Buffer at least an extra hour just for traffic.

    Not all USB charge ports are working - at most cases, there are easily to connect your own charger.

    If you get in late enough into terminal 6 the buses they say run between that and 4 actually don't so don't wait patiently like the sign says and walk out of security outside to 4. And no express lane

    Bring your own food. Terminal 2 has one small stand and everything is expensive. $3 for a small water, $6.50 for a fruit cup.

    Very few charging outlets at gates. Look for round charging stations between gates. 4 plugs each, a small table, and 2 seats.

    Gets worse every time I go. It’s an inexcusable dump and disorganized. How difficult is it to model an airport terminal after a leading airport like T5 LHR. USA is a time warp.
