    Forego Gordon Birsch if flying SW and go to less crowded bar by gate 7.

    We waited over an hour for my luggage. They couldn't come up with a creative reason why. It was exhausting. The airport is ready to get around in.

    Cheaperparking.org to find cheaper parking... $90 flat for 10 days of covered parking isn't bad. Free shuttle to/from LAX is included.

    Why why why is it so far to get some chicken mc nuggets.. If you are flying Alaska walk thru the delta tunnel for some McDonalds McLuvin!

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

    Delta Baggage claim is a lil dusty due to construction, otherwise folks were really nice.

    Wall charging units need to be fixed. Not all work so u might need to search further from the gate

    Worst airport i've ever been! frequent flyer status doesn't mean a thing: No priority check-in, being refused initially for being early, Regular long line for security, no lounge access with child,

    LAX is my personal hell, but if you find yourself stuck in the Delta terminal - the Sky Lounge has a shower, and the Morimoto skewer things don't suck as bad as they could.

    Opt out of the TSA X-ray machine and they'll treat you to a nice little back of the hand job.

    Here's an obvious one: Check in ONLINE. Pay for your bags online. Makes it that much smoother.

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

    The only redeeming quality of this place is that there's a coffee bean. And you can leave.

    If you're flying out of terminal 1, get here uber early. Southwest flies out of here and the lines can get crazy!

    Terminal 3 sucks for food choices but you can get a veggie burger at burger king off the secret menu or $20 pasta at Gladstones

    AA is terrible, also this terminal doesnt have enough charging stations and outlets. So u might as well bring extra batteries because u'll find yourself waiting in line to charge ur phone
