    More food selections are needed. Even buying water takes way too long to purchase

    Be prepared to eat McDonalds! There are a few restaurant options near gate 50B but McDonalds is the cheapest one.

    If you need to park across from terminal 2 there is no entrance to the structure from the upper level. Procced to the lower level and park in structure 2A.

    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.
  • 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.

    LAX is a massive time suck, so get here early and have some cocktails and Xanax to make the flight a good one!

    Find the wine bar(s) and camp out. Service is slow as most who work there wish they didn't.

    Don't tell your ride to pick you up for at least 45 minutes after you land. LAX had the worst baggage service in the world. LAPD, you wonder why there are so many cars waiting at the curb?!

    Flying into LAX? Take an escalator up one level to Departures to catch Uber/Lyft/Sidecar drivers that have just dropped someone off.

    Don't forget your headset and some good music, LAX is continuously playing music that melts your brain. One of the worst airports I've been too with Abu Dhabi...
