    Landing in LAX from an international flight with checked bags? You'll need to go through US customs here retrieve your bags and recheck them for connecting flights. Get Global Entry and cruise through

    Love the quick check in I totally forgot about the beverage rule. TSA got a bottle of AZ green tea and watermelon drink along with a bottle of water.

    Seriously, just park your car offsite. It’s less hassle than waiting for a ride share or asking someone to pick you up.

    Take it from a lifelong Angeleno: Pay the $3 to park in the garages and meet your party at baggage. It will make getting out easier.

    Sign up for Global Entry to help getting through customs and immigration faster. Well worth the $100 and valid for five years, especially if when going through the madness of arrivals at TBIT!

    If you are going to South Bay by taxi be prepared for the angry taxi driver who wants the big fairs not the $20flat rate to the beach. Rumor is there is a airport shuttle to the green line station

    Global Entry is so worth it if you travel internationally and return to LAX. Such a smooth and efficient Customs process. A+

    Correction: you cannot now ALWAYS use your mobile device. You may if you are travelling on a US carrier. All other carriers have different rules and most have not passed this law yet.

    Ignore the Starbucks line in the AA terminal upon arrival - there's a little known and line-free one just downstairs by the exit.

    The designer of the men’s bathroom in new terminal 1 should be forced to use it just once. And than forced to stay In it for the day as punishment for his failure on layout for the toilets.

    Take the stairs to the lounges in T2, and you’ll find some respite away from the crowds just outside the lounges.

    LAX now offers free WiFi. However I constantly have to reset my phone to clear out setting so I can be reconnected. The Tom Bradley terminal has been renovated and it's clearly an upgraded experience

    My least favorite airport for international connections, up there with CDG for poor connecting experience, but without the reward of good amenities.

    Decent airport. Lounges here are awesome. The stores are often super far away from the departing gates. No smoking areas inside is a downer too.

    Don't take a dirty taxi! Try Uber and get a ride from a professional driver! It's clean, convenient and cheaper than a taxi! Go to www.uber.com or download Uber from the App Store or Google Play!

    Make sure u budget extra time for arriving to your terminal. Google maps only calculates the time to get to the airport itself.

    I've seen quite a number of airports in my day and this is definitely one of the worst. Exiting the plane I end up in the same area where ppl board? WTF? Then I have to walk past dep. to bagage claim?

    There are lounge chairs that are decent for napping near the 4th floor airline lounges in terminal 2. They're outside of the lounges so you don't need access to get to them.

    Try out your digital boarding passes here, you can check in and board all from your phone. The good restaurants are at the international terminal. If ur going to Vegas fly Southwest.

    Southwest Airlines is the best here. Always easy to check-in and fly; got me on a crucial last minute flight when Virgin refused; and somehow located me to give me my iPad I left on a plane.

    Learn the streets within the airport. If you're trying to get out of the airport from terminal one and go all the way around, you're missing a great shortcut!

    The newish LAX-it (LA exit) way of getting to the rideshare pickup seems painful but isn’t bad. Better than the mess it was before.

    LAX seems to always be under construction. Traffic is also super unpredictable once you get into the main loop. Best airport for flying into the west side of LA.

    Checking bags was easy, just have boarding passes ready before you get here. TSA was a breeze, took only 20 minutes. If it takes you forever to go thru, most likely it is your fault.

    Make sure you do your shopping before you get to LAX. It has the most ridiculously small duty free shops on the world (in LA, would you believe). Also make sure you eat beforehand!
