narek arutyunyanDecember 10, 2010Make reservations with yellow shuttle buses (Premier Airport Van) 800-896-8645 for pick up and drop off....they have the best customer service and don't make you share the ride for shuttle prices!!
Book a local transport shuttle via shuttletolax.com for $20 flat fee and excellent customer service. This is the cheapest lax transport.
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)April 18, 2017[PIC] Spirit Airlines moving in May from T3 to T5. Other airlines moving too. Contact your airline & http://ow.ly/mq6r30aXxEg #LAXontheMOVE
Southwest Airlines offers free luggage to travelers with additional bags at affordable rates. check in 24 hours in advance for the better seats.
Southwest Priority - they don't have a specific lane setup for checking baggage - but if you ask, they'll skip you to the front of the line. Skip through security line as well ;)
Jenn MicheleSeptember 25, 2018PSA: no one else wants to listen to your phone/computer. Use headphones. Don’t be an asshole.
Wow! Through security in 2 mins.! Shoes stayed on, laptops & cell phones stayed in bags. Hope this is the new & improved TSA! ;-)
FlightCenter.comDecember 30, 2011Flying AA, leaving LAX? Check out the Admirals Club in Terminal 4 - they have private shower rooms that are PERFECT to freshen up before you fly to your New Year’s destination!
Adrian CollinsDecember 17, 2015If you're departing, ask the driver of the ride share to drop you at arriving, then take the elevator up. It saves time.
We had a 5am flight got to LAX before 4am. Know one knew how to find out when pre-check was open. A lot of annoyed folks including me!! 😡
At American, most flights board early, so be ready. Also, join my petition for more Terminal 4 improvements like more and faster eateries. Get on it LAX.
If you're flying American and have status, skip the crowd and head to the American Premiere entrance.
When finding ground transit upon leaving, walk along the sidewalk close to the terminals until reaching the kind you need, then cross over to the p/u island. Don't walk from island to island.
The new terminals and amenities are excellent! ✈️ efficient layout too!- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)September 2, 2014September construction will cause passenger impacts, so check the link to get in the know on how you can best get to your flight! http://www.lawa.org/newsContent.aspx?ID=1907 Read more
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)April 24, 2017[PIC] Fly Frontier moving in May from T3 to T6. Check-in T6, flights depart/arrive T5. Contact airline. http://ow.ly/7VfD30b3KSn #LAXontheMOVE
If you are outbound from the #USA, bring a mask. Particle counts here are high. If returning from #Beijing or #Taipei, enjoy the #AirQuality!
The lines are crazy long, but they also move pretty fast. The security folks have it down to a science. You never know though, I'd still get here 2 hrs before your flight.
Rachel BJuly 20, 2016Mind your booking details! We were told traffic would be bad, so get there early. We were told TSA lines would be bad, so get there early. All well and good except the ticket counter isn't open.
Rayne DeReonMay 15, 2014Free WiFi, not much seating in the holding area at gates 61 & 63, make sure to come early to this gate if you care to sit comfortably.
If you have an American Express platinum card, head to the sky lounge and grab yourself a drink. Great place to get a snack and wifi. Best when free.
Crew Members you have KNOWN at Terminal 7 by doors D/E to left of Security. Right of ticketing, left of security. You will see your own Security guy/gal at a podium.
Total chaos if you're picking up someone or being dropped off. Security isn't as tight as it is in other airports. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
Lucky RomeroMarch 13, 2013Did you know here are services that will allow you to be a rock star and pass through security and access lounges without the wait?? Very cool
Where fast draw track suits with a Speedo underneath to entertain and amaze TSA, they're gonna see it all anyway. Might as well make it a show!
Jeffrey VolosinFebruary 28, 2015Best airport ever and so close to el Segundo! It's great. I like hearing the airplanes at night.
If you are picking somone up after 8pm, have them come up to the Departure level. It won't be as busy since many flights arrive after 8 pm.
Yousif DNovember 8, 2016One of the busiest airport I ever been. Southwest terminal is the best so far!- Maynard TannFebruary 14, 2015The international terminal (after immigration) has been refurbished and looks great. Lots of high end stores e.g. Gucci, Boss, etc.
Bring a soft sided bag you can throw your carry on, your laptop & everything in your pockets into before you get in the TSA line.
KAL lounge wi-fi doesn't require a password. Was able to access it near Starbucks on ground floor
Hosang YuOctober 11, 2013International terminal has gorgeous place to relax. What a change from factory like place.
If you are flying domestic, have just a carry on and already have your boarding pass, getting here an hour and 15 mins before take off is just about right during off peak times.
Mri OptimizeJuly 30, 2017CPK! (California Pizza Kitchen) Was in the LA Valley of Angels doing MRI magic again! http://www.mrioptimize.com
If you're here for a 6am flight, and like me, you like soup for breakfast, CPK starts serving soup at 5am (2 vegetarian options too).
David RamirezSeptember 19, 2014La Brea Bakery is very good, as well as Starbucks, or Express Wolfgang Puck, Security Checkpoint is very efficient.- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)March 31, 2015LAX, TSA and partner airlines will launch an autism self-identification program on April 1. If behavioral incidents occur, responding personnel will recognize behavior as likely a result of autism. Read more
Cheapest Parking: Fox Auto Park; Worst Terminal: Frontier Gates 50-59; Best Auto Rental: Enterprise, most places at LAX smell like a fart or feet.
Wayner BechelliDecember 10, 2014Welcome to LAX! The airport services are great and you can use te Uber app to take a chipest "taxi".
You have to take a shuttle to the taxi/rideshare area. Depending on where you are it can take up to 30 minutes to get to..- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)December 9, 2014Need a lift to Metro Green Line? Take free G shuttle to/from LAX. Wait under blue sign @ arrivals. #LAXisHappening http://ow.ly/i/7IlLk
The traffic coming in can be really easy or crazy backed up! Use Waze or another traffic app and plan your drive accordingly.
Benjamin BenApril 30, 2013LAX handled 28,861,477 enplanements, the total number of passengers boarding an aircraft, in 2008. This makes LAX the third busiest airport in the U.S. in terms of enplanements.
LaurenApril 26, 2012Looking for pancakes? Of course you are! Hit up Monet's (terminal 6)--they've got blueberry, banana, and all the syrup and butter you could want.
If you can, fly American Airlines. Relatively a breeze checking in and somewhat organized. As for LAX, what can I say, they're a work in progress 😎- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)July 3, 2014Why be stressed by the traffic? Wait at the Cell Phone Waiting Lot (W. 96th St by parking lot C) for your passengers to call you when they arrive. Or they can take the "C" Shuttle to meet you there.
Joseph McCarthyJuly 25, 2017Smoking section in the international terminal. A bit far but hell I'm from the east coast and it beats going though TSA again
For how large of an airport this is, it is always well organized and security is typically pretty fast!
Jane DoeSeptember 2, 2014Fly Delta! They give you actual food (starbucks-esque little healthy boxes) not those airline peanuts we're all used to. 😍🍴☕️
