    Take the Fly Away bus to LAX. It's very convenient and cheap ($6 one way). You don't have to worry about parking your car.

    The T4 is the worst international departure terminal I' ve ever been. Few food options, no good restaurants, no stores, small duty free, and wifi doesnt work everywhere ...boring!

    When bag check lines are long, go to 'no baggage' kiosk to print boarding passes. THEN drop bags off. Saves you time like Crazy. Ur welcome

    If you have premier access for united always use the security between gate 6&7. The gate 7 security has no premier access

    Check your boarding pass to see if you were randomly selected for TSA pre-check. Security lines are very long here.
