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

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

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

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

    Protip: don't stop at the bottom of the stairs or end of the escalator.

    Never seen such a dead and dull airport. I've connected here to a domestic flight and was delayed for only couple of hours, but I can imagine the domestic terminal is hell if you're there a long time

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

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

    If you need to use the restrooms in the Delta terminal-DON'T. They are filthy. Just hold it til you get home.

    Everyone hates standing in the long lines but no one pays attention to the 5 open self-check in kiosks. They instead wait for someone to tell them it's open.

    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,

    The Economy Lot C shuttle drivers are all d-bags who won't wait for running passengers and they're rude to the ones they do pick up.

    When going through security ask for Lenard as he provides a TSA pat down that is thorough and isn't that the point -- our security.

    Don't think because it's a Wednesday you'll have no trouble getting through security. There is aaaalways a line.

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

    Don’t take a taxi 🚕 if you live within 10 minutes. Drivers are very rude to learn that they are only make their $19 minimum fare.

    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.

    Even coming 3 hours early and on MDMA won't make this airport any better. Even if they have free cocktails by naked women still won't make this place less painful.
  • Wilson F.
    AVOID. AT. ALL. COST. Decrepit, dirty, particularly unfriendly TSA staff, horrible traffic access. Favour any of the smaller airports in the region even if that adds driving time.
